Reclaim your health in perimenopause and beyond

Nutrition and fitness coaching to help you stop feeling like s*** and start being your most badass self.

Your body isn’t broken. You’re just burned out.

If you’re in perimenopause, menopause, or just feel like your body’s on strike, we’re here to help you rebuild from the inside out, with strength-first fitness, functional nutrition, and real support that fits your life.

Does this sound familiar…

Weight gain no matter what you do (or just can’t lose those stubborn last few pounds)?
Hormonal chaos running the show?
Crashing by 3PM and still can’t sleep?
Feel like you’ve tried it all and nothing sticks?

We help you break the burnout cycle so you can start feeling good again. (Yes, it’s possible. No restrictive diets in sight!).

How Beyond the Box can help you

No two bodies — or burnout stories — are the same, so all our coaching is personalized to YOU and YOUR body.

Our comprehensive coaching encompasses your total body health, through nutrition coaching and fitness coaching, all from the comfort of your home. Whether your main struggle is metabolic chaos, strength loss, or just not knowing what the hell your body needs anymore, we’ve got you.

We’re Gwen and Sheena

We built the coaching we wish we’d had ourselves.

We’ve been there. High-functioning but exhausted. Doing all the “right” things and still feeling off. Working with professionals who either overcomplicated everything or didn’t actually listen.

So we teamed up to do things differently.

We bring decades of combined experience in strength training, functional nutrition, and behavior change coaching — plus the lived experience of navigating perimenopause, menopause, and burnout ourselves.

And most importantly?

We give a damn. About science. About honesty. About helping you feel like you again.

Real coaching. Real results. Real life.

I started working with Sheena at beyond the box nutrition early in 2025 and it has been the absolute best thing for me. Sheena is amazing at what she does. She takes exactly where you are at, works with you to find what you're needing and your goals, and sets up a tailored plan that will suit you and your needs. Sheena has helped me get back on track with the accountability and motivation that I was lacking. I was very sick at the beginning of the year and Sheena's tailored workouts and slow and steady build up was something I never would have considered. I'm an ex College athlete and I have a very active family, I was finding it hard to prioritize my fitness and health goals while juggling fulltime work and a very busy household. Sheena gave me very thoughtful, well laid out, purposeful workouts that slowly built up to where I'm at right now which is feeling amazing about my body. I'm sleeping better at night and have higher energy levels than ever before. We just did a family trip to Hawaii and I felt amazing in my skin. I felt strong, and beautiful. I didn't cover up, and I did all the activities with my family - hiking, surfing, boogie boarding, snorkeling, swimming etc. If you're needing a kick start or some guidance in your health and wellness journey I would highly recommend Sheena, she is seriously amazing to work with.

I’ve been working with Beyond the Box for about a decade now and I can’t really think of life without Gwen and now Sheena. Gwen has helped me get through so much food noise, food insecurities and honestly life in general. She helped me tailor my nutrition to get pregnant, worked through a miscarriage with me, pregnancy, post-partum and everything in between. She has guided, supported and challenged me in the best way possible. I have also been working with Sheena on the fitness side now. Again, a tailored program that fits with my lifestyle. She has held me accountable and supported me every step of the way. I feel stronger now than I really ever have. She has helped me find the missing piece. They are more than just fitness and nutrition. They care about you as a person and they listen. They are beyond knowledgeable and I feel in a way I’m just getting started! I know they’ll continue to help me through more of my life chapters. I’m thankful to have them both.

I was feeling stuck in my workout routine. I have always loved going to the gym but haven’t followed programming for awhile. I wasn’t seeing results for all the hard work I was putting in so I decided to reach out to Sheena. From the start I felt seen and heard! She tailored the programming to fit my schedule and we set realistic goals. I was never in the gym for more than an hour, and as a mom of 2 that was a game changer for me! We also worked on nutrition. I tracked macros for the first time since being vegan! Sheena taught me the importance of fueling for workouts, and how hitting my protein goals will build the muscle I’ve been wanting! I can do almost ten full pushups now, and am stronger now than I was pre-kids! If you are on the fence about investing in yourself, I 100% recommend taking the time to do it. Sheena’s coaching was instrumental in helping me not only change my body composition but also how I view my body, and for that I couldn’t be more grateful!

Rhiannon O'Leary

Working with Gwen has been truly transformative in my journey to reclaim my midlife and perimenopausal health. She is an incredible partner—helping me stay focused on my goals, celebrate meaningful wins, adjust thoughtfully along the way, and see real, measurable results. With her guidance, I’ve been able to pinpoint my specific areas of concern, understand how to address them, and experience tangible change. In just a few months, I’ve gained significant muscle, reduced my body fat percentage, watched my pre-pre-diabetes and insulin resistance disappear, brain fog, moodiness, and exhaustion disappear. But even more importantly, I feel empowered—fully at the helm of my own health and future. I truly cannot stop recommending Gwen to my friends and anyone looking for a grounded, knowledgeable, and deeply supportive partner in their wellness journey.

Jo Burgoon

I worked with Gwen at Beyond the Box for about four months, in the middle of a year long journey in which I lost 18 pounds of fat while preserving muscle (less than a pound lost), which was incredibly important to me. I used a true microdose GLP-1 protocol—a fraction of the typical starting dose—and Gwen was extremely knowledgeable and supportive throughout the process. With her guidance I accelerated my fat loss. She supported me in a way that felt sustainable and aligned with where I was physically and mentally. Gwen is fantastic at meeting people where they’re at, incredibly easy to work with, and has a deep toolbox of strategies and resources. If you’re looking for someone who truly understands nutrition and individualized care, she’s it.

Andrea/Andy McDermott

Gwen has been such a tremendous help in teaching me how to fuel properly and think about food differently. I have been feeling good with my food choices and feeling very strong. I’m finding that balance of fueling for my workouts plus enjoying treats and not so great fueling options, but I’m doing better by not “beating myself up” about it. Also I’m not letting those times totally derail my training or even the next meal, so that’s been huge for me. Since working with her, I have PR’d in my races and feeling great. I highly recommend Gwen and Beyond the Box.

Emily Dominguez

Gwen was an incredible nutrition coach—knowledgeable, supportive, and truly invested in my success. She helped me build healthier habits without ever making the process feel overwhelming. Her guidance was thoughtful and tailored, and I always felt seen and encouraged. I’m so grateful for her positive energy and expertise!

Katherine Kozioziemski

Gwen is wonderful to work with! She is especially gifted at working with women in peri/menopause to find the root cause of their health challenges that many other professionals ignore and gaslight. She also will guide you in how to advocate for yourself with your health care provider to be sure you are getting the care you deserve.

Mark Lojacono

I worked almost one year with Gwen and she was terrific in every way. Extremely flexible with time slots to meet, extremely positive about my journey and most importantly EXTREMELY KNOWLEDGABLE about weight loss through proper nutrition!!! Last, Gwen helped me gain the confidence to try new technologies like GLP-1's and Supplements and I have since starting in January; lost 20 lbs. Bravo Gwen !!!!
