Embracing Menopause as an embodied life transition - not just managing symptoms
A gentle, whole-person approach to navigating the changes of midlife and discover your new chapter.
Your Midlife Review; a free resource to start your journey
Take some time to pause and reflect on where you are now, what may no longer serve your life and what you'd like to create for your next chapter
Want to get started with the guidance of an experienced transition coach?
For more than two decades, I have supported people through periods of significant emotional and personal change.
My work brings together my experience as a professionally trained counsellor and coach with 20 years of practice in Qigong Yuan Gong, Ren Xue and embodied awareness .
What matters most to me is creating a space where you can feel heard, respected and safe enough to explore what is really going on underneath the surface.
I don't believe you need to be fixed.
I believe there is already wisdom within you.
Sometimes we simply need the space, awareness and support to reconnect with it.
My approach combines compassionate conversation with gentle embodied practices, helping you become more aware of your body, emotions, thoughts and patterns — and what they may be telling you.
Rather than telling you who you should become, I'll support you to explore what is changing, let go of what no longer fits and discover what this next chapter could look like for you.
You don't have to have all the answers.
You simply need a willingness to begin listening to yourself in a new way and start walking the first new steps.
My approach combines compassionate one-to-one coaching with gentle embodied practices that help you reconnect with your body, awareness and inner resources.
The work is informed by Ren Xue and Yuan Gong — practices involving awareness, movement, breath and stillness and cultivating greater inner harmony.
But you don't need to know anything about Ren Xue.
You don't need to practise Qigong.
And you don't need to be flexible or experienced.
I'll simply introduce these practices simply in a practical way makes sense for your life.
You might spend a few quiet minutes in your day becoming more present to your own experience.
Use gentle movement to reconnect with yourself, a way of settling yourself.
A way of noticing what's happening within you before automatically reacting.
Small practices that can powerfully change the way you relate to yourself.
What we will explore together
Making space for what matters now
Your coaching is individual and shaped around you. Depending on where you are in your journey, we may explore:
Your body
Developing a kinder, more connected relationship with your changing body.
Your emotions
Understanding what you're feeling and developing greater capacity to be with difficult emotions.
Your patterns
Noticing the habits and ways of responding that may no longer serve you.
Your boundaries
Becoming clearer about what you need and what you are willing to carry.
Your identity
Exploring who you are now and who you are becoming and on a deeper level who you have always been.
Your next chapter
Clarifying what matters to you and creating space for what you want more of in your life.
Who is this for
This may be for you if...
You're moving through perimenopause, menopause or a significant period of midlife change.
You feel that something is shifting and you'd like support to understand it.
You want more than information about menopause.
You're interested in exploring the connection between your body, emotions, thoughts and life.
You're open to gentle practices alongside coaching and reflection.
And you're curious about what this next chapter could hold.
The Possibility
Imagine moving through this chapter differently
Imagine feeling more connected to your body.
Having a little more space between what happens and how you respond.
Understanding yourself with greater compassion.
Feeling clearer about what you need.
Being able to recognize old patterns without being completely caught up in them.
And beginning to trust yourself as you move into this next stage of life.
Not becoming someone else. Becoming more fully yourself.
Life Transition Embodiment Program
This isn't a rigid program that you have to fit yourself into.
We'll begin with where you are now and explore what you need, allowing the work to unfold at a pace that feels supportive for you.
Sessions are spaced across 12 weeks and may be scheduled more closely at the beginning if needed, then more gently as you integrate.
This is a transition space—where inner change is supported to become lived, integrated experience into your everyday life.
Your journey includes:
One-to-One Coaching Sessions
Each session offers time to explore what is emerging, work with what is present in your life, and deepen your connection to your inner clarity and embodied knowing. Your 12-week package includes 12 hours of one to one coaching which can be arranged as
- 12 x 60 minute sessions
- 8 x 90 minute Sessions
- A combination of 60 minute and 90 minute sessions,
The flexibility in the session lengths allows us to respond to what will best support you. A 90 minute session may be helpful when exploring something more deeply or when we want more time for coaching alongside learning and practicing Qigong, mindfulness or another embodied practice. This can be agreed together in the contract and as the journey unfolds
Personalized Qigong and Embodied practices - handout and video learning
Gentle, supportive practices tailored to your daily life including any health conditions, with video guidance and written resources to support your integration between sessions.
Integration between sessions
Simple practices and prompts to help you stay connected to your process between sessions, so insights become lived experience.
A supportive, confidential space

What women say about working with me
Melanie MacFarlane Sydney Australia
“I attended a live workshop with Natalie on a snowy Sunday morning in January. We were all women in our 50s and there were many similarities in the things we were experiencing and reflecting on at this stage of our lives.
It is a time when ‘old patterns’ can be let go of and transformed. Natalie creates a sense of trust and confidence to explore this. She is insightful, open and present. We had some wonderful conversations and learned beautiful practices.
It was an incredibly enjoyable and insightful workshop.”
Michelle Geurts The Netherlands
“Natalie has a unique ability to cut through surface patterns with sensitivity, clear insight and a grounded sense of humor, guiding you inward to touch the real texture of your thoughts and feelings. Through our work, I’ve found the courage to move out of my head and into the tender space of the heart. I’ve gained tools and clarity, experienced genuine growth and accessed deeper layers of wisdom that were previously hidden. I’m deeply grateful for the way Natalie holds and facilitates this inner journey.
Her compassion and insight into the perimenopausal transition and the wider midlife journey resonate deeply. She honors the complexity of this phase while fostering a sense of possibility and transformation within it.”
