My mission is to empower you to take charge of your health in a way that is both meaningful and sustainable. I embrace a whole-body approach, seamlessly integrating nutrition and fitness to help you reconnect with your body's unique needs. From managing GI concerns like IBS, SIBO, constipation, and gastritis to addressing insulin resistance, blood sugar balance, and cholesterol optimization, I provide tailored support to guide you on your wellness journey.

How We’ll Work Together
Our journey together starts with an hour consultation to discuss your needs and goals, and from there we develop an action plan based in functional nutrition and fitness. No fad diets or maximum-intensity workouts here. My goal is to make wellness a part of your life by helping you define better habits and ways to incorporate movement and healthy food choices into your day.
Whether we work together in person in the Greater Hartford area, or online, know that I’ll be with you every step of the way.
Nutrition
Whatever your struggle, we work together to help your body heal itself by addressing the root causes of various symptoms, to create a diet and lifestyle that makes sense for you now and can evolve with you.
Personal Training
I design individualized workouts that mimic the movements you already make every day to improve posture, muscle strength, endurance, and flexibility.

Experience
In 2009, I transformed my passion for health and wellness into a lifelong career, earning my Personal Training certification. From 2012 to 2015, I owned a thriving fitness franchise before shifting my focus to personalized, one-on-one coaching. In 2021, I further deepened my expertise by earning an M.S. in Human Nutrition, becoming a Certified Dietitian Nutritionist in CT. Now, through Empowered Nutrition + Fitness, I bring together all of my experience to help you take charge of your health with confidence and clarity

“Brenda has been training both my husband and me for over four years now and we love her. She pushes us while still being encouraging. She is flexible and knowledgeable and has helped us both work through injuries and kept me healthy during my pregnancy. I’m now engaging her as a nutritionist to help with chronic iron deficiency. We really credit our whole family healthy, fit, and happy!”
“Working out with Brenda is a highlight of my week. She is enthusiastic, motivating, and knowledgeable about all things fitness and nutrition. Brenda is completely in tune with my goals, and pushes me to meet them. She is very creative in progressing sessions, making them fun and challenging at the same time.”
