About Serene Movement

Evidence-informed movement for women in midlife and beyond.

Based in Victoria, BC and led by Serena Peck, Serene Movement offers supportive, evidence-informed exercise education, structured movement programs, and private coaching for women in midlife and beyond.

Many of the women we work with are in seasons of transition: shifting hormones, evolving energy, changing priorities, or a renewed desire to take ownership of their long-term health. Our role is as much about education and steady guidance as it is about exercise—creating space to rebuild trust, confidence, and resilience in the body.

Meet Serena

Serena is a Registered Kinesiologist and Certified Personal Trainer with over eight years of experience in cardiac and cancer rehabilitation and clinical research focused on women's health during treatment and recovery.

Through this work, she witnessed the powerful role movement can play not only in restoring strength, but in supporting confidence and long-term well-being for women navigating complex health challenges.

Today, Serena focuses on supporting women through perimenopause to post-menopause, blending evidence-informed exercise with education and behaviour-change principles to help women develop functional strength, mobility, confidence, and sustainable habits.

Her approach is grounded in the belief that women don't need more conflicting advice about exercise. They need clear information, appropriate guidance, and the skills to understand and take ownership of their health and movement.

Our Values

We believe that understanding your body changes everything. When women know why certain movements and habits matter, they feel more confident and empowered to make choices that support their long-term health.

Education

Sustainability

 We focus on creating routines that fit into everyday life and grow with women through each season. Building strength and mobility is a journey, and we are here to guide every step with patience and care.

Compassion

 We meet women where they are, offering guidance, patience, and understanding. Every body is unique, and we create space for trust, reassurance, and gentle encouragement as women reconnect with their strength.

Joy

  We want movement to feel uplifting, energizing, and even playful. Feeling capable in the body and proud of one’s progress is at the heart of everything we do, so women can enjoy their health with confidence and ease.

Language Note

For the purposes of this website, we primarily use feminized language (she/her) when discussing perimenopause and menopause, as this reflects the population most commonly represented in research and clinical practice.

This is not intended to be exclusionary. We recognize that transgender, non-binary, and gender-diverse individuals may also experience perimenopause and menopause, and their experiences are equally valid and important. We welcome and support all individuals navigating these life stages.
