Thriving in Midlife
Blooming into Your Third Age
I created Blooming Third Age because no woman should have to go through menopause the way I did. My own decade-long, unsupported shit-show lit a fire in me: to become the advocate, educator, and ally I never had.
Now, as a certified Menopause Support Coach with decades of training and experience in movement, healing, and women’s health, I help women navigate the peri- to post-menopause transition with clarity, strength, and a lot more joy.
Menopause is more than the end of periods— it’s a profound biological, physiological, cultural, familial, and spiritual rite of passage.
It’s an initiation into becoming who we are truly meant to be.
Yet in a system that chronically underfunds, understudies, and undersupports women’s health, too many are left confused, dismissed, or suffering in silence. That’s where I step in.
Menopause transition is more than just physical symptoms. It is a spiritual portal that enables you to step into becoming the person you are truly meant to be.

As the founder of Blooming Third Age, I offer public speaking and 1:1 coaching to bridge this critical gap in care and conversation.
I designed my Empower Hour coaching program specifically for women who are tired of navigating this transition alone. In this two-part session, I listen deeply to your story, then create a personalized action plan with valuable, vetted resources to support your health and well-being.
I’m currently booking Empower Hour sessions in partnership with Loon Holistic Health, where I see clients in person, and I also work with women virtually anywhere.
This is not about “just getting through” menopause.
This is about claiming your power, rewriting the narrative, and blooming into your Third Age with strength, wisdom, and unapologetic joy.

Empower Hour
What’s Empower Hour?
Two parts. One powerful session.
Part 1: I listen deeply to your story—your body, your experiences, your challenges. This is your space to be heard, without judgment, and to name what’s really happening in your midlife transition.
Part 2: I create a personalized action plan with vetted resources, tools, and strategies tailored to you. Together, we cut through the noise and confusion so you can navigate peri- to post-menopause with more clarity, strength, and joy.
Think of it as your personal map through the chaos—guided by a certified Menopause Support Coach, educator, and ally who has been there herself and knows how isolating this journey can feel.
Available in person at Loon Holistic Health or virtually anywhere, Empower Hour is about more than advice—it’s about support, strategy, and reclaiming your confidence in this powerful stage of life.

Wise Women Rising
Read, discuss, and connect!
The Wise Women Rising Book Club is a playful and supportive space to explore themes of wisdom, growth, and midlife magic with other fabulous women. Together, we dive into books that spark conversation, laughter, and deep reflection. We meet bi-monthly in person at Loon Holistic Health, with a virtual option so no one has to miss out.
Beyond the book club, the Wise Women Rising Facebook Group keeps the connection going. This vibrant online community is a gathering place for encouragement, honest questions, shared knowledge, and celebrating all the ups, downs, and joys of the midlife experience. Think of it as your circle of wise (and wise-cracking) sisters—always ready to lift you up.

Workshops & Retreats
Impactful. Educational. Transformative.
Workshops are welcoming spaces for learning, healing, and embodiment, inviting women to explore new ways of moving, connecting, and growing. Past offerings like Dancing with the Fire and Welcoming the Crone have supported women in stepping into deeper wisdom, creative expression, and community.
Retreats go further—immersive experiences of rest, renewal, and reconnection. Co-created with fellow artists and practitioners, gatherings like Activating Courage, Crone Camp, and Interbeing have been described as “life-changing”—a chance to rediscover strength, joy, and courage.
At the heart of every offering is Joy Alchemy—the art of transforming challenge into possibility, and transition into awakening.
