I help introvert women embrace aging and connect with their truth in midlife.

I’m a writer, a coach, and a pro-aging advocate. I’m 49 and originally from London but I’ve been a New Yorker since 2014. For over a decade I’ve been helping women find the courage to show up as their most authentic, empowered selves. I’ve created five online courses and led numerous circles, offering the women I work with an opportunity to create meaningful change in their lives and liberate themselves from all the “shoulds”.

I’m INFJ. I love spending time in solitude but I also thrive on connecting with others. I’m compassionate and curious, intuitive and adventurous. I believe sensitivity is a superpower, and creativity and community are key in helping us build richer, more fulfilling lives.

After reaching my mid-forties I found myself feeling despondent about aging. I was struggling with the way I looked, and fearful that my best years were behind me. Then I realized that unless I wanted to spend the next half of my life feeling depressed about getting older, I needed to turn the experience around.

I started to get curious about what was really fueling my fear of aging. I began educating myself on what an anti-aging culture is designed to do, and how it impacts our self-esteem. Once I’d begun to recognize how limiting the vast majority of societal expectations are, especially relating to women and aging, I was able to disentangle myself from them and enjoy a freedom I’d never before experienced.

Already a writer and coach for women’s empowerment, I shifted the focus of my work to helping women embrace aging. I can now say I'm more confident at 48 than I ever was at 28. It's my mission to help other women feel the same.

Courage and truth are at the core of my work.

On courage

In my twenties I left a marriage that everybody wanted me to stay in. I also left a “job for life” because I was slowly dying in it.

In my thirties I changed my birth name, sold all my belongings and took off on a six month solo trip to India.

In my forties I left London to move to NYC and build two businesses. I live with joy and anxiety. I do not believe in fearlessness but I refuse to let fear stand in my way. As Georgia O’Keeffe so beautifully said: “I've been absolutely terrified every moment of my life - and I've never let it keep me from doing a single thing I wanted to do.”

On truth

Having spent the first four decades of my life feeling immense pressure to be perfect in order to be liked and accepted, I have found great joy and liberation in rejecting a set of unattainable ideals I never chose in the first place and simply telling the truth about my experiences.

Many midlife spaces are geared towards being bold and living out loud as a pushback against sliding into invisibility. While that’s great (and necessary) this can feel incredibly overwhelming for an introvert who doesn’t necessarily want to take center stage and be in the spotlight.

My work is about offering sanctuary and support for introvert women in midlife in a way that feels safe and nurturing, but also coaxes them out of their comfort zone so they have the confidence to connect to their purpose and passions.
