For some of us, it begins as our bodies are moving through perimenopause or menopause, and we are forced to adjust to hormonal changes that shift our energy levels, sleep patterns, bodily norms, sexual desires and so much more.

Others may face an unexpected health crisis or the ending or shifting of  a treasured relationship . . . and the path forward may feel quite uncertain or scary.

Many working women at some point find that their career may suddenly feel quite hollow without sufficient meaning . . . or that the path they have walked thus far in life may no longer feel fully aligned.

Midlife women with kids often struggle to tend to their many needs while also reclaiming their own identity . . . or alternatively are adjusting to the reality of an “empty nest.”

If one or more of these scenarios sounds familiar . . . then you may be finding that these shifts leave you feeling somewhat destabilized and questioning who you are amidst it all.

And all these “outer changes” are often accompanied by so many deep emotions . . . especially grief and fear.

If this is your reality,  you may be longing for a space of unconditional love and acceptance . . . as well as guidance for how to best move forward.

Perhaps I can be of service.

You can consciously embrace this confusion and frustration as fertile ground for rebirth…. allowing a mature radiance to emerge, more aligned than ever before.

With the right support, you can shift from feeling somewhat adrift to walking the path of your own radiant becoming.

This is your time to emerge!

I lead an extremely blessed life up until my late 40s. But then in midlife… I was forced to go through a deep rebirth process.

In my younger years, life was very good to me. I had the privilege of a Stanford education, married the man of my dreams, co-founded a successful personal-growth company, had the opportunity to teach alongside many of today’s most evolved wisdom, birthed 2 adorable daughters late in life, had 2 beautiful homes, and was surrounded by an inspiring community with many close friends. My life was an incredible blessing, and I am so grateful.

But then in my late 40s, I was thrown a number of curve balls, and my life journey became extremely disorienting and painful. I found myself without a job, my marriage hit some major bumps while still navigating with 2 young kids, I was going through menopause and sleep was rough, I had a frightening medical scare, finances became constrained… and things felt challenging on so many levels.

There were days when I could barely get out of bed because I felt so distraught, and didn't know quite how I'd make it through. It was a long hard journey, and I needed a lot of support along the way.

I am now feeling so blessed to have emerged on the other side. I have grown by leaps and bounds, and I am pursuing exciting new visions and dreams. I’ve entered a whole new world of possibilities!

And so… I now want to support other women to do the same and navigate these choppy midlife waters with as much grace and ease as possible.

Having the right support can make all the difference and is the gateway to an extraordinary life!

The 3 Central Pillars

• Psycho-Spiritual Practice for Deepening & Healing
Drawing from Sacred Feminine wisdom and archetypal exploration, this pillar guides women through midlife’s inner soul work. Using meditation, visualization, and spiritual surrender, women release old identities and step into empowering roles like the Wise Woman or Queen. Personalized ceremonies and rites of passage honor this sacred transition, embracing midlife as a period of spiritual growth.

• Somatic Therapies for Embodied Transformation
This pillar combines the Hakomi Method and sound healing tools to address emotions and trauma stored in the body. Through mindful awareness, sonic therapy, and body inquiry, women release trauma, soothe their nervous systems, and gracefully navigate midlife’s physical and emotional changes.

• Creative Expression for Integration & Growth
Creative outlets like writing, art, and movement help women express and integrate midlife’s changes. These practices allow for emotional release, growth celebration, and embodying new roles.

Imagine waking up each day feeling that the heavy weight has been lifted from your chest… and that you have a renewed sense of joy & possibility. Imagine coming out of isolation and instead feeling connected to those around you, knowing that your life is a beautiful contribution. With the right support, this year can be your best year yet!

• You feel like you’re at a crossroads in life and are seeking deeper clarity and purpose.

• You’re navigating the physical, emotional, and spiritual challenges of midlife and desire support.

This process offers a profound chance to step into your feminine fullness at this more mature stage of life. With the right guidance, you can move from feeling a bit lost … to blossoming and thriving in your next chapter.
