A Little About Me,
A Lot About You

Hi lovely!

  • Facebook

​​Transforming Midlife is more than just a business, it’s my heart poured into something truly meaningful, inspired by my own rollercoaster journey through the highs and lows of midlife.

Let’s be real - menopause wasn’t exactly a gentle breeze for me. I had the joy (and I use that term loosely) of managing - just a selection of symptoms: constant, fiery daytime hot flashes, painful Achilles issues, tinnitus, plantar fasciitis, weight gain that seemed to appear overnight, brain fog, itchy skin, and a fatigue that could level a superhero. And don’t get me started on the irrational fury sparked by the sound of my husband crunching anything remotely crispy. Daily divorceable offenses - am I right?

But it wasn’t just the physical challenges. Midlife brought me to a crossroads—a moment of realising that my life was shifting. With a strong background in running my own business, leading several teams, managing sponsorships for not for profit, fostering business relationships, and orchestrating successful events, I bring a wealth of experience, strategic insight, and a deep understanding of what it takes to inspire, empower, and achieve meaningful results. This diverse expertise allows me to connect with clients on multiple levels and provide impactful support and guidance.  On the home front, my son, now 22, has grown into an incredible young man (naturally I am completely biased!) with a life of his own and for the first time, I truly found myself wondering: What now? What’s next for me?

I became acutely aware that the years ahead were likely to be fewer than the ones behind me, although my optimistic self says I’m simply at a halfway point, I knew I didn’t want to waste them. I needed to find purpose, to create a life filled with meaning and joy. And in that search, I discovered a deeper calling—to support other women who are standing at their own crossroads, ready to reconnect with themselves, to renew and reinvent so they could step into their best, most vibrant selves.

Over the years, I’ve had countless conversations with incredible women who, like me, felt a longing for something more. They wanted to make the most of this precious time, to uncover what ‘more’ really meant for them—whether it was rediscovering happiness, finding joy in the little things, or finally stepping into their true purpose. Through these conversations, one thing became crystal clear: while midlife and menopause are universal experiences, every woman’s journey is uniquely hers.

My path to finding my purpose led me to becoming a Clinical Hypnotherapist and Mindset Coach.  Along the way, I’ve trained with amazing teachers, both here in New Zealand and overseas, diving deep into the art and science of transformation and the power of mindset. What I’ve learned is that real change starts from within—whether it’s breaking free from limiting beliefs, finding peace with your body, loving yourself, boosting your confidence, creating healthier habits, or just getting a decent night’s sleep to name but a few.

Through hypnosis, NLP, and effective coaching techniques, I help women like you rediscover their spark and create the life they deserve—full of joy, meaning, and authenticity.

This journey is as much yours as it is mine, and I can’t wait to support you. Let’s do this together!
