Welcome to Transforming Midlife
Midlife isn’t the final chapter—it’s the ‘halfway point’ and the beginning of an exhilarating new adventure. Sure, this stage might feel a bit like starring in your very own midlife sitcom (with life's surprises making cameos like unexpected guest stars), but you're not alone. I’ve been there too, navigating the quirky ups and downs of menopause, unexpected life shifts, and the quest for deeper meaning and a life that resonates with ‘me’.
At Transforming Midlife, I work alongside and empower women like you to break free from self-doubt, reconnect with your true selves, and step into a renewed life filled with confidence, joy, and purpose. We become more amazing, powerful and valuable as we age, and more mindful of the legacy that we want to leave behind.
Together, using mindset coaching, clinical hypnotherapy, and transformational techniques, we’ll design a life that’s not just authentic, but one that excites, inspires, and truly reflects the best version of you.
Your next exciting chapter begins with a smile and the certainty that you'll rediscover yourself on a path that is authentically you. Let’s dive in and embrace this journey together! Midlife isn’t an ending; it’s a rebirth of who you’ve always wanted to be.
Note: Midlife generally refers to the period between 40 and 60 years of age.

Tools for Transformation
Hypnotherapy
Think of hypnotherapy as a mental refresh button, helping you break free from unhelpful habits, self-doubt, and stress. By guiding you into a deeply relaxed state, it taps into your subconscious—the part of your mind that holds onto patterns and beliefs—so you can rewire old thinking and step into a more confident, balanced, and fulfilled version of yourself.
Hypnotherapy feels like a peaceful daydream, where you remain in control the entire time, gently exploring your inner world with clarity and ease.
Whether you want to boost self-belief, sleep better, or tackle anxiety (a few examples of what it can help with), hypnotherapy offers a gentle, yet powerful, way to create lasting, positive change.
Coaching
Mindset and transformation coaching serves as your personal growth GPS, guiding you past limiting beliefs so you can tap into your true potential.
Mindset coaching reshapes your internal narrative, challenges self-imposed limitations, and cultivates empowering thought patterns. Through introspection, reflective exercises, and tailored support, it helps you uncover and replace subconscious barriers with optimism and clarity, paving the way for breakthrough moments.
Transformation coaching builds on this foundation by merging holistic personal development with practical, actionable strategies. It goes beyond altering thought patterns by exploring your core values, aspirations, and emotional well-being, while integrating accountability and goal-setting. This continuous support empowers you to create lasting change, leading you to a more purposeful and fulfilling life journey.
NLP
Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) dives into how your thoughts (neuro), language (linguistic), and behaviour (programming) all work together to shape your life. By spotting and shifting any unhelpful patterns in the way you think, speak, or react, NLP gives you the power to make positive changes and reach your goals more smoothly.
NLP can help you become a better communicator, feel more emotionally resilient, and break through limiting beliefs—whether you’re aiming for personal growth or professional success. It’s a great tool for building confidence, beating bad habits, easing anxiety, and creating real, lasting improvements in your mindset and behaviour.
