About Dr. Yolanda Serra

Yolanda Serra Martinez, PhD, is a health and behavioral scientist, health communication specialist, author, educator, and health and longevity coach. She created Health and Longevity Coaching to make science more useful in the decisions people face in real life.

Her work focuses on the place where evidence, behavior, communication, personal circumstances, and meaningful choice meet. She translates complex ideas into clear resources, publications, educational experiences, and guided conversations that help women understand what is happening across different parts of life, clarify what matters now, and develop next steps that are both meaningful and workable.

Yolanda’s academic and professional background spans health science and behavioral science, health communication and education, applied research, and academic work. Rather than treating change as a problem with one universal solution, she considers the whole situation: health, work, relationships, caregiving, resources, identity, responsibilities, participation, readiness, and support.

She is the author and creator of Midlife Transitions, an integrated Book, Journal, and guided learning system for women navigating overlapping changes in midlife. Her approach combines scientific rigor with practical application while preserving each woman’s authority over her values, goals, decisions, and pace.

Yolanda writes and teaches with warmth, precision, and respect. Her central question is not how a woman should reinvent herself, but how she can understand her life now and decide what she wants to build from here.

Born and raised in Spain, Yolanda is a native Spanish speaker who also speaks Catalan and English. Health and Longevity Coaching offers services in English and Spanish, including online services for women in the United States and internationally. International availability depends on scheduling, applicable terms, and confirmation that the educational or coaching service is appropriate for the participant’s location.
