Portrait of Lori Anderson, founder of Next Chapter Wellness OC

About Lori

Personal support for your next chapter.

I know firsthand how frustrating it is when your body starts changing and nobody has straight answers. As a certified menopause coach and personal trainer, my goal is simple: give you practical tools, strength training, and nutrition guidance that fit your real life—without extremes, guilt, or overwhelm.

So I went back to school, earned the certifications, and built the practice I wished existed: one that treats midlife women as whole people, moves at a humane pace, and never confuses wellness with punishment. Today I work with women across Orange County on strength, nutrition, hormonal balance, mobility, and mindfulness.

My promise is simple: evidence-informed guidance, honest conversation, and a plan that fits your real life.
