A bit more about how I help
- I use a whole life, integrated and flexible coaching approach to work with midlife women who are capable, often successful, and still quietly exhausted. I’ve designed services that have light hand-holding and a comfort blanket that meet you where you are.
- If you want to understand why you repeat the same patterns, react the way you do, and why you feel you know better but still doing the same, you’re in the right place.
- If you want useful between session access and a client portal with resources to access. If you want help managing some practical tasksthat don’t always fit into standard coaching models alongside some body doubling/light coaching sessions, you’re in the right place.
- If you want to decide in your own time and have a space free of urgency, countdown and FOMO style offers that create a feeling of pressure, you’re in the right place.
- This time in our life is sticky, with lots of difficult choices and realities. But it is also a time when we can take full ownership of our health, mind, relationships, and soul in a way we never have before. I think that is glorious.
What mid-life brings
Mid-life brings more challenges than you can imagine and it can hit you like a ton of bricks. Having to balance the below can lead to impossible choices, feelings of invisibility and a nervous system running on empty.
HEALTH - fluctuating energy, invisible illness, new illness, menopause, nervous system limits, different tolerances to food and drinks, and the grief that can come with changing capacity and midlife bodies.
NEURODIVERSITY - women who are not already diagnosed can find this the time of life where their neurodiversity makes itself known. Life stresses and perimenopause make it hard to keep masks and coping strategies going. Those already aware can find it harder to cope.
FAMILY - relationship issues, divorce, widowed, menopausal and dating, financial worries, more attention to aging parents’ health and paying more attention to our adulting knowledge gaps.
MOTHERHOOD - women will be mothering children from babies to adulthood during this life stage. Navigating perimenopause with young kids testing your patience or teenagers with their own hormone battles. You can be adapting to an empty nest or still supporting adult children at home. How about the realisation of how your childhood is affecting your parenting through your triggers and patterns.
CAREER - Many of my clients are running their own business or have high-level jobs. You might be thriving in your career, feeling uncertain about your place in it, or thinking about winding down or retirement and what comes next.
GRIEF - You may be grieving that motherhood passed you by, even if that was a choice. You may be grieving parents or worrying about it coming up. Pets you lose at this stage are more likely to have been with you long term. Just grieving the way life could have been.
