Welcome
Become Her™ Build the foundation your body needs before chasing fixes.
Data-driven strength and nutrition coaching for women in their next chapter.
Labs used for clarity and optimization, not pani
Most women enter this phase of life

This isn’t failure. It’s feedback.
Becoming Her™ starts by rebuilding the foundation most women were never taught to monitor — then using data to optimize what actually matters.

#1 - Restore stability and consistency
#2 - Rebuild trust with your body
#3 - Train with intention instead of exhaustion

Working with Nellie has completely changed how I see myself and my body. My waist is smaller, my curves are stronger, and my confidence is through the roof! I used to be teased for having a ‘refrigerator booty,’ but now people want to know my secret—and it’s Nellie’s coaching. Her continued teaching and guidance have put me on the path to becoming my best version, focusing on fitness over 40 and embracing mind body soul fitness. With her support, I’ve navigated challenges like perimenopause and veterans' health issues. I’m stronger and sexier than I ever imagined—physically, mentally, and spiritually.
Marisol Ortiz
Working with MindBodySoul Fitness was one of the best decisions I ever made! After having a baby, I felt challenged to get back into an active and clean eating lifestyle that would help me in becoming my best version. Nellie made this process a lot easier and pushed me to surpass my expectations! She is very easy to work with and incredibly knowledgeable in her trade. Nellie truly emphasizes that her plan is more about a lifestyle change rather than a quick 12-week burnout, which is essential for anyone, especially those navigating fitness over 40, perimenopause, and veterans. It's been about 3 months since we finished my 12-week plan, and I've maintained my weight, continued to eat right, and am training stronger and sexier than ever!
Alicia Byrd
After having 2 babies back to back with only a 6 week break in between, I thought my body was basically ruined. I had started out in the low 120s and ended up getting into the 170s (I'm only 4'11, so the weight on someone my height isn't too appealing). After my 2nd child was born, and all the initial swelling went down, my stomach still looked like I was pregnant, and I had rolls for days on my back. My husband and I decided to seek the help of MindBodySoul Fitness. We both went through a leadership course for the military, which is where we met her. Knowing all the training and certifications she had, and seeing that she is very knowledgeable about nutrition and fitness, especially in the context of fitness over 40, we decided she would be the perfect person to work with. Not only is Nellie a very easy person to collaborate with, but she genuinely cares and creates plans tailored to your individual needs. Since working with her and learning how to eat right, along with understanding macros and how they truly help your body when followed correctly, I've been able to get below 135. That was in a matter of 6 weeks, and I'm still losing weight. Of course, it's going to take time to see the results of getting to my pre-pregnancy body, but with her guidance, I have seen a night and day difference. I no longer have a stomach that looks pregnant, and aside from the occasional bloated days, my stomach is much flatter, and I don’t feel as self-conscious as I once did. Becoming your best version is truly possible with Nellie's help, and I'm so glad I found someone so willing to support me through this journey of perimenopause and veterans’ fitness. She really is an awesome person to work with, and I feel strong and sexy again.

Whether you're navigating fitness over 40, facing perimenopause, or simply seeking to feel strong and sexy, Nellie is the best. She genuinely cares about her clients, and I absolutely recommend working with her. Cara Griffith, 5 stars!
About MindBodySoul Nutrition and Fitness
Who is Nellie Black?
Meet Nellie Black, a devoted wife, mother of three, and veteran with 19 years of distinguished military service—14 in the Air Force and 5 in the Space Force. Her journey into health began at just 20, stemming from her own struggles with body image, burnout, and the physical demands of military life. Through years of strength training, nutritional mastery, and deep mindset work, Nellie rebuilt not only her body but also her confidence and purpose from the inside out, embodying the essence of becoming your best version.
Nellie holds certifications in Sports Nutrition, Personal Training, and Hormone Optimization, along with a Graduate Degree in Sports Science specializing in Health and Wellness Management. Her education and experience provide her with a unique ability to translate science into practical strategies that help women feel strong, balanced, and capable at every stage of life, especially in the journey of fitness over 40.
Her approach has been shaped by mentorship under some of the most respected names in the industry—William Grazione, known for his expertise in hormonal health and functional nutrition; Jason Theobald, a leader in functional health coaching; Layne Norton and Dr. Bill Campbell, pioneers in evidence-based nutrition and physique science; and Charles Glass, the legendary “Godfather of Bodybuilding.” This mentorship network has honed her eye for precision, physiology, and performance across all levels of health and fitness.
Today, Nellie uses her military discipline, advanced education, and coaching expertise to help veteran women navigate perimenopause and beyond—reclaiming energy, stabilizing hormones, and rebuilding confidence in their bodies. Her mission is to guide women to thrive stronger, steadier, and fully aligned in mind, body, and soul, living a life of mind body soul fitness.
Why This Was Created: This mission arose from a significant gap in women’s health—especially for veterans. Too many women enter perimenopause or face hormonal shifts without real education or support, left guessing their way through fatigue, weight gain, and emotional changes. Even after decades in service, I realized how little guidance existed around how a woman’s body truly evolves with time, stress, and duty.
I created this platform to close that gap—to teach, guide, and connect women with the education and services they need to restore their health and confidence. My goal isn’t just to coach; it’s to empower women with the knowledge, community, and professional support that help them thrive, becoming strong and sexy.
Because when women understand their bodies and have the right tools, they don’t just adapt—they rise, stronger than ever.
