Dorota Gancarz, MSc Integrative Women's Health Coach & Perimenopause Specialist
Founder of VANTA Coaching
Adam Leaney, B.ExSc Performance Specialist & Strength Coach
With a Bachelor of Exercise Science and over a decade of elite performance coaching, Adam leads the physical transformation side of VANTA - designing strength and conditioning programs specifically adapted for the perimenopausal and menopausal body.
Adam's programs are built around the hormonal reality of perimenopause, not despite it - protecting bone density, supporting metabolic health, and preserving muscle in a way generic training programs simply don't account for.
With an MSc in Science and over 20 years in the health industry, Dorota specialises in the root-cause approach to perimenopause and menopause - connecting hormonal health, sleep, nutrition, psychology, and movement into one integrated protocol for high-achieving women.
Her background spans across medical research science at one of Australia's leading health and medical research institutes, perimenopause and menopause advocacy, and evidence-based coaching.
She founded VANTA because she lived the gap herself - navigating perimenopause while surrounded by clinical expertise, yet finding no single approach that addressed the complete picture.
VANTA way
Most approaches treat perimenopause one symptom at a time - a specialist for hormones, another for sleep, another for weight, another for mood. Working in isolation is why so many women feel they've tried everything and nothing has worked.
VANTA is different: your body doesn't work in silos, so your coaching shouldn't either.
We map your pattern across five interconnected systems:
-
hormonal health,
-
sleep & recovery,
-
psychology & mindset,
-
metabolism & nutrition, and
-
movement & strength
and address them together.
This Is Not
General Wellness Coaching
VANTA is explicitly evidence-based. Every recommendation is grounded in current research on women's hormonal health, exercise science, and behavioural psychology. We don't work from generic protocols - we map your pattern and address the root cause.
That's the difference.
At VANTA Coaching, we believe transformation is more than a goal - it’s a journey of alignment, strength, and self-mastery.
Our mission is to empower every dimension of you - physically, mentally, and emotionally - through personalized, science-based coaching designed to create real, lasting change.
While our programs are built to support anyone seeking growth, we are especially passionate about guiding peri and menopausal women through this pivotal life stage. With tailored strategies rooted in evidence and compassion, we help you navigate the shifts with confidence, clarity, and resilience.
We’re not here for surface-level change. We’re here for deep, meaningful evolution - guided by purpose, elevated by expertise.
