THAT Is where i come in...
Hey, I'm Ariel
In the past 8 years, I’ve helped thousands of women create healthier eating habits, lose weight, build confidence, and feel energized with my signature framework, The L.E.A.N. Method.
I know what it’s like to try every diet, workout program and fitness challenge — only to find that nothing sticks long term…
And to not have the accountability and support I need on my wellness journey…
And to feel like it’s damn near impossible to juggle work life, home life, social life — while taking the best care of myself (ex-HR tech leader here!).
But it is very possible and as your health and fitness coach, I will show you how.
My secret? Saying no to fad diets, calorie crunching, and endless hours in the gym. I believe that you can have your cake and eat it, too (seriously though!).
I teach a balanced approach to wellness that works.
It gives my clients clarity.
It gives them confidence.
It gives them RESULTS.
And I’m 100% sure that it will do the same for you.
If you are ready to shut the door on those limiting beliefs and show up for YOU. To create a NEW plan. To build a NEW routine. And chart a NEW path into your wellness journey.

introducing
The 28-Day L.E.A.N. Program
A wellness program designed to help busy women
kickstart their journey without stress, overwhelm, and restrictions. The best part is – you can repeat this SAME program for 3, 6, 9 months and achieve incredible results.
L.E.A.N. stands for Lifestyle, Exercise, Attitude, Nutrition.
LIFESTYLE
Your body and life are unique to YOU (spoiler alert: the weight loss challenge that worked for your colleague or best friend may not work for you — and that’s OK!). The L.E.A.N Program will help you design a daily routine that works for YOUR body, schedule, and goals…long term.
EXERCISE
If you want to lose weight (while managing a busy schedule), you want a workout routine that is quick, but effective. Scrap all the rumors that tell you that you have to spend endless hours on the treadmill to burn fat. Not true. I’ll prove it to you.
ATTITUDE
Your thoughts and mindset matter. They are the foundation to slaying any goal you have. Let’s get clear on your why and create a strong mindset that will keep you motivated along your journey (we are striving for progress not perfection!).
NUTRITION
There are a million search results that make it hard to understand what foods you actually need to hit your goals. It’s not about restricting a laundry list of foods, it’s about adding the foods that nourish you and give you the most energy (i.e. you can have your cake and eat it, too!).
"This program truly changed my life.'
“Not only do I actually now believe that it’s possible for me to have a healthy lifestyle – but I’ve learned how to do it, and still have the things that I like. I lost 7.5 lbs (it’s really difficult for me to lose weight with PCOS). I got a better at portion control and getting veggies into every meal (breakfast included). I’ve limited my alcohol intake – and don’t miss doing nightly wine. I work out now at least 4x a week.”
By the end of the program, you'll...

And so much more...
“I lost 10 pounds! Lost back fat and gained a slimmer stomach. With this program, I was able to regulate my cravings, learn to listen to my body, feed it with healthier alternatives, even noticed my bowel movements were completely readjusted to how it was when i was younger. My biggest goal was to be at 185 by my birthday in November. I’m proud to say I am 188 only 3 pounds away from my goal within 28 days. This plan helped me achieve me goal and I never wanna go back to my old ways!”
– M. EPPS
“I’m glad that I participated in the LEAN program because it brought me the positive wake up call that I’ve been looking for. I used to be an emotional eater, but working with Ariel and the group helped me replace those cravings and habits with things that still satisfy me but don’t take me so far away from my goals. I feel more empowered as a result of this program. I feel lighter, have started exercising more, and feel better about myself overall. Developing better, healthier habits has been the biggest win for me!”
– BRITTANY
The L.e.a.n. Program
4-Step Path to Transform Your Health
- Week 1 - Let’s hit reset together with a light detox. Think of it as spring cleaning but for your body. Don’t worry, I won’t go full Marie Kondo on you. This is a simple and effective way to kick-start your health, lose the bloat, boost energy, feel lighter, and break bad habits. We’ll take it step by step. Workouts will be light.
-
Week 2 - Now that your body has been cleansed, this is the perfect time to learn what foods may be causing you discomfort (bloating, acne, low energy, etc). In this phase you will add back in foods and take note of how they make you feel. You will also take workouts up a notch.
-
Week 3 - By now, you’ve proven to yourself that you can keep a promise. You’re bouncing off the great energy and your wins. This week you will practice portion control and learn about what foods you should have on your plate in order to get the results you desire.
- Week 4 - This week you will focus on applying what you've learned (what worked, what didn't work) to create a balanced routine that you ENJOY. The goal is to create a routine that you can stick to long-term.
“I was able to establish much healthier eating habits and be more conscious about what I put into my body. I lost almost 7lbs by the end of the 28 day program which was way more than I thought I’d be able to do in that time frame. Ariel’s coaching is like a warm hug you need from your sister. Supportive, firm, encouraging, and right on time. The program itself is super effective AND doable. There are things I’m still incorporating even after the program (like the detox shot) to help with my digestion and weight loss maintenance .”
– SHERITA
As a result of the LEAN Program I was introduced to meal prepping which I have been able to incorporate into my weekly routine, I have increased my water consumption significantly, and have awareness around nutrition and portion control. I feel more positive about incorporating health, whether it’s healthy eating, exercise, water consumption, into my lifestyle. The Lean Program showed my that it’s not as hard as I thought it was when you have proper planning and the knowledge to be successful.
– JATIQUA

“I’ve tried other programs this was more fun—I loved the energy and the support. The combination of workouts, meal ideas and guidance, and affirmations was wonderful. It also felt very doable.”
– KRISTIN
“The LEAN Method program has a lot of check points to see how you’re doing. To me, it’s a way more realistic way of approaching diet & exercise. You get in tune with your body, what it needs, what doesn’t serve it. And Ariel’s workouts are fun, quick, and really, really effective.”
– ANNIE

If she can do it, so can you.
“I felt motivated to keep going and I loved the energy of Ariel… she’s a great influencer. Whether on video or from her zoom workouts that I attended she made you feel like she was right there with you and you mattered. You could feel her energy through the screen… she was always present, attentive, and motivating. She became a friend in my head… LOL 
“
– MONIQUE
“I am a lot more confident in my ability to improve my health and rebuild my physical endurance. I’m also not struggling as much when it comes to choosing foods that are tasty and healthy. I am 5.6 pounds down, 2 in off my waist, have clearer skin, more energy, no bloating, and a better understanding of the foods that don’t make me feel good vs those which do.”

You've got questions? I have answers!
This program is for any woman who is ready to take back the power of her health and establish healthy habits that she can maintain on a daily basis. Yes, even during girl’s night and the holidays! No more start and stop plans! Just simple, daily practices.
Absolutely! The entire philosophy behind The LEAN Method Program is to make it completely unique to you and your lifestyle. If your lifestyle and nutrition include vegan or gluten-free diets, then you can apply the principles you learn in this program to your unique body and nutrition needs.
No, I don’t provide meal plans, and there’s a very good reason why. Meal plans — along with 98% of self-guided diets — fail because they’re too restrictive, too complicated, or too difficult to follow for any length of time.
Unlike meal plans, which tell you what to eat, our coaching program focuses on changing your approach to food. I offer you one weekly nutrition habit to practice that helps you learn how to eat. As good habits stack up over time, they both become effortless and add up to massive results.
Absolutely. This program was designed for a busy woman by a busy woman.
Improving your daily wellbeing is the single most important gift you can give yourself and you are so deserving of it.
I know that it can feel like you need to wait until you have more time to dedicate to a program — for when things settle down at work or for when your child is just a little bit older and more independent.
But here’s the thing — there will never be a magical, perfect time where you have no other obligations, no stress, and plenty of free time to dedicate to your wellbeing.
That’s exactly the reason why I developed this program.
It’s about embracing our lives as they are and finding the health habits that can truly work in your day-to-day life.
This means discovering what you truly want, identifying your needs, and examining your current life to find the unique elements that will make the biggest impact in your life and then providing you with the skills to make those changes with ease.
Maybe you’ve tried other programs in the past and they haven’t worked for you, or they worked for a short period of time and you weren’t able to sustain it.
Or you tried it for 30 days, you got “results” then the next 30 days it slipped away and you started to tell yourself to “get motivated” or “I just need to find the time again”. I can tell you something, this isn’t a plan, it’s not a diet, it’s not something that’s timestamped — this is a framework.
I created this framework using a combination of my personal experience, professional experience, feedback from clients, and habit science to make it completely different to most of the other programs and plans you’re used to because I’ve seen so many times how much those don’t work.
If a plan hasn’t worked for you in the past, this program was created specifically for you, so you could follow a specific process for designing your own way of eating and living that takes into consideration all of your unique needs and preferences.
Yes! That’s the power of online coaching. No matter where you live, you can get health coaching and fitness support. I’ve had women from more than 50 countries in the L.E.A.N program community, so as long as you have access to the internet, you can participate in coaching!
