How Dr. Desiree (Desi) Bartlett Built the BodyMind Workout® to Support Women at Every Stage
“Every woman deserves to understand her body, not struggle to keep up with it.”
For many women, life stages such as pregnancy, postpartum, perimenopause, and menopause bring physical and emotional changes that often go unexplained. Without the right guidance, these transitions can lead to confusion, stress, and declining confidence, making it harder to maintain long-term health and well-being.
For more than 30 years, Dr. Desiree (Desi) Bartlett, Creator of the BodyMind Workout®, has helped women navigate these changes with confidence. Through a unique blend of strength training, yoga, mindfulness, and wellness education, she has built a platform that supports women at every stage of life.
Under her leadership, the BodyMind Workout® continues to expand through online programs, mentorship, professional education, and international retreats, making holistic wellness accessible to women worldwide. Her work earned national recognition in 2025 when she was named IDEA Health & Fitness Association® Fitness Leader of the Year, reflecting her lasting impact on women’s health and wellness.
