I didn’t come to this work through theory.
I came to it through lived experience.
Like many women, I spent years building a life that looked good from the outside — meaningful work, stability, accomplishment — only to reach midlife and realize something essential no longer fit.
Not because anything was “wrong.”
But because something deeper was asking to be heard.
My work began with the body
Before I ever became a coach, my work centered on physical health.
I went to chiropractic school after meeting a practitioner who combined structural care with nutrition and holistic health. It felt like real healing — and I wanted to understand it.
While I was there, I realized my curiosity ran deeper than chiropractic alone. I was drawn to nutrition, functional medicine, and the relationship between physical symptoms and the inner world.
That interest was personal.
For years, I navigated acne, digestive issues, and a complicated, on-and-off relationship with food. I genuinely believed that if I could just find the right protocol, everything would resolve.
Instead, I became increasingly restricted — managing symptoms without addressing what was underneath.
After graduating, I worked under successful doctors practicing functional medicine. I learned their systems, applied them with patients, and followed everything myself.
And yet — nothing fundamentally changed.
The symptoms lingered.
The patterns repeated.
I was doing all the “right” things… and still felt stuck.
Turning toward mind–body work
That frustration is what led me into personal growth and mindset work.
I began to see how powerfully our thoughts, habits, and unconscious patterns shape our experience. That work mattered. It softened my relationship with my body and helped me understand why certain patterns had formed.
From there, I built a coaching business helping women heal their relationship with food and their bodies — which eventually evolved into supporting women building wellness and coaching businesses of their own.
Over the past decade, I’ve worked with hundreds of women navigating health, identity, and work transitions.
From the outside, my work — and my life — looked aligned.
But what my own midlife transition revealed was something deeper.
Realizing I was living someone else’s model
What I eventually saw was that much of my life and work had been shaped by models that weren’t truly mine.
Ways of healing.
Ways of working.
Ways of defining success.
I had been trying to fit myself into paths that worked for other people — even when they required me to override parts of myself.
For many years, my focus was on growth — my business, their businesses, forward momentum.
And my own health?
I managed it. Carefully. Strategically.
Until midlife arrived — and the cost of that misalignment showed up in my body, my motivation, and my ability to move forward at all.
Midlife as a threshold
Midlife forced me to stop pushing — and start listening.
What became clear was this:
Mindset alone isn’t the answer.
Health protocols alone aren’t the answer.
I didn’t need another strategy.
I needed permission — and space — to create my own way of living and working in the world.
Our physical and emotional symptoms aren’t problems to eliminate — they’re signals. Messages. Invitations to get curious about what’s no longer aligned.
Midlife isn’t a breakdown.
It’s a threshold.
A moment when the strategies that once worked — proving, pushing, achieving — stop working, and something more honest asks to come forward.
How this shapes my work now
The work I offer now is shaped by that realization.
It’s not about fixing, forcing, or reinventing yourself.
It’s about working with the body instead of overriding it.
Listening instead of bypassing.
Letting clarity emerge rather than chasing it.
I work with women in midlife who feel successful on the outside, but know something in their health, work, or direction is no longer aligned — and whose body is starting to reflect that through symptoms or recurring patterns.
