About Me

Hi, I’m Priya Dass — a Personal Trainer and Nutrition Coach with a Master’s in Exercise Science.
I help women in perimenopause and menopause feel strong, energized, and confident again through a whole-health approach that blends strength training, balanced nutrition, sleep, stress, and mindset.
My journey into health coaching didn’t start in a classroom — it began much earlier.
I grew up in India, fascinated by cooking and healthy eating. But years later, after moving to the U.S. and raising my two boys, my own health began to unravel.
I dealt with:
chronic back issues
several surgeries
high cholesterol
prediabetes
an underactive thyroid
sleep problems
stubborn weight changes
Like so many women in midlife, I felt frustrated and confused.
My body wasn’t responding the way it used to — and I didn’t understand why.
That’s what led me back to school for a Master’s in Exercise Science (specialty: Clinical Exercise Physiology), where I worked in Cardiopulmonary Rehab and Employee Wellness.
From there, I continued my education with:
ACSM Clinical Exercise Physiologist
ACSM Exercise is Medicine (Level 3)
Personal Trainer (NASM)
Women’s Fitness Specialist (NASM)
Precision Nutrition Level 1 (PN)
Menopause Coaching Specialist (GGS)
Senior Fitness Specialist
Through strength training, better nutrition, sleep, stress management, and mindset shifts, I completely transformed my health.
Today, in my 60s, I’m fitter and stronger than I was in my 30s and 40s — and I help other women rewrite their story, too.

Who I help:
I coach women over 40 who are tired of:
stubborn midlife weight
low energy
sleep issues
cravings
bloating
stress
feeling “not themselves”
Women who want to feel confident again — in their bodies, their careers, and their lives.
Women who are action takers, and are ready to start!
My signature ThriveHer Method focuses on:
strength training
balanced, enjoyable nutrition
better sleep + stress reduction
mindset shifts
simple habits that actually stick
No dieting.
No extremes.
No shame.
Just a whole-health, science-based approach that supports your midlife body — not fights it.
A little more about me:
I love photography, hiking with my family, gardening, cooking, thrift stores, and exploring new places.
My heart is happiest traveling with my husband and boys — and I lose myself in nature with my camera any chance I get.
If you’re ready to feel strong, confident, and in control of your health again, I’d love to support you.
