About

I never expected midlife to break me open.

One day I was high-functioning—juggling work, life, and everything in between. The next, I was unraveling under the weight of insomnia, panic attacks, relentless fatigue, skyrocketing blood pressure, and chest pain that no test could explain. My labs were “normal”—but I didn’t feel normal. I knew something deeper was going on. It wasn’t just in my head. It was my nervous system, hormones, and cellular health—my body was out of alignment and crying out for help.

That experience led me to functional nutrition and root-cause healing—and ultimately inspired me to create MidVita Wellness: a space where midlife women feel seen, supported, and empowered to heal on every level.

I’m Susie Ernsberger, the founder and heart behind MidVita Wellness. I bring together a diverse background in coaching, nutrition, mindfulness, and energy healing to support midlife women holistically.

I’m a Certified Insight Coach Practitioner (ICF-accredited), Certified Menopause Coach, Certified Mindfulness Teacher, and Reiki I & II Attuned Practitioner. I’m also completing advanced clinical training through the Functional Nutrition Alliance—a globally respected institute known for its root-cause approach to nutrition—where I’m earning my Certified Functional Nutrition Counselor (CFNC) credential.

I’m also the author of two books for midlife women:

Strong at Heart – The MidVita Wellness Guide to Hormone Harmony, Heart Health, and Empowered Living for Midlife Women
The Nourished Heart – A MidVita Wellness Cookbook for Hormonal Harmony & Heart Health in Midlife Women

At MidVita Wellness, I help women address the root causes of midlife health challenges—from hormone imbalances and stress-related cardiac symptoms to chronic fatigue, burnout, and gut-brain dysregulation. Using a functional nutrition and mindfulness-based approach, I focus on nervous system regulation, hormone support, and lifestyle practices that promote whole-person healing.

My integrative coaching blends breathwork, somatic grounding, meditation, restorative yoga, reflective journaling, and nutrition-centered strategies to support your body, mind, and spirit through this season of transformation.

You’ll also find something just as powerful here: community. Through sisterhood-based support circles and shared experience, MidVita Wellness offers a safe space to connect, share, and remember you’re not alone. Healing deepens in community—where your voice matters and your story is honored.

Midlife isn’t the end of vitality—it’s the beginning of something deeper. You deserve to feel strong, supported, and truly well—and you don’t have to walk this path alone. Welcome home—to your virtual midlife wellness sanctuary.

My Mission Through MidVita Wellness

MidVita Wellness exists to fill the gap so many midlife women face—where symptoms are dismissed, root causes are overlooked, and emotional well-being is treated as an afterthought.

My mission is to offer a compassionate, integrative space where midlife women are supported with both expert guidance and heartfelt care. Through personalized coaching, functional nutrition, mindfulness-based practices, and community connection, I help women restore balance, reclaim vitality, and navigate midlife with clarity and confidence.

This work isn’t about pushing through—it’s about tuning in, resetting the nervous system, nourishing the body, and honoring the wisdom within.

Whether it’s through one-on-one coaching, guided wellness practices, workshops, or sisterhood support circles, everything I offer is rooted in this core belief:

Midlife is not your breakdown—it’s your breakthrough.
You deserve support that’s as multidimensional and powerful as you are.

Why MidVita Wellness is Different

MidVita Wellness isn’t just a coaching platform—it’s a movement igniting healing, visibility, and empowerment for midlife women ready to reclaim their well-being and voice.

Real Lived Experience

I’ve lived this—misdiagnosis, hormone crashes, burnout, and reinvention. I coach from a place of deep knowing, not detached theory. I walk this road with you—not ahead of you.

Heart-Hormone Connection Focus

I work at the often-overlooked intersection of women’s cardiovascular and hormonal health, focusing on silent conditions like Vasospastic (VSA) and Microvascular Angina (MVA)—often tied to stress, inflammation, and midlife hormonal shifts.

Functional + Holistic Approach

Through functional nutrition and my holistic background, I offer an integrative lens that gets to the root of what’s going on—physically, emotionally, and energetically.

Multi-Format Wellness Ecosystem

MidVita offers more than coaching—it's an ecosystem of support. Through my book, cookbook, 1:1 wellness journeys, courses, and supportive circles, I help midlife women reconnect with their bodies, restore balance, and reclaim their vitality—nourishing both body and soul from the inside out.

A Safe Space for the Unseen Woman

Whether you’ve been told your pain is “just stress” or “just hormones,” MidVita is your place to be heard, validated, and supported back to wholeness.
