My story and mission

Midlife is a powerful phase of life, a time of growth, transformation, and new possibilities.

But it can also be a time of unique challenges: hormonal shifts, career pressures, and the constant juggle of work, family, and self-care. I know this firsthand because I’ve been there.

About me

My journey

I didn’t plan any of this.

The yoga teacher training, the breathwork, the diploma in Culinary Medicine – each felt like its own thing at the time, something I was simply drawn to.
 
And then menopause arrived.

Quietly at first: anxiety that didn’t feel like me at all, sleepless nights, aching joints, and a creeping sadness so heavy that getting out of bed felt like an achievement. Years of small signals I didn’t know how to read – until a single blood test made everything click.

Then came the DEXA scan. Osteopenia. And at 49, I’d already lost centimetres in height. That was the moment that stopped me in my tracks. My body hadn’t suddenly changed, it had been whispering for years but I simply didn’t know how to listen.

This was also the moment I saw the pieces coming together. Over 20 years as an educator. Training in yoga, breathwork, and Culinary Medicine. A decade of navigating my own perimenopause journey before I had the language for it. None of it was wasted. It was all preparation for what I am doing today: working with women who are somewhere in the middle of their own puzzle — feeling their own pieces shift, but not yet seeing the picture.

I am here to help you understand what’s happening in your body so you can respond before things start to feel overwhelming, and to feel supported in a way that is steady, informed, and real. 

No fear, guilt, or false promises. Just everything I’ve learned and lived, put to work for you.

Midlife is not something that can be approached with a fixed plan. What you need will depend on your body, your energy, your lifestyle, and the season you are in. This is why my work is always personalised. There is no template. We start with where you are and build from there.
 
My approach is grounded in science, but it is also practical and realistic. I focus on what actually supports you day to day. Movement, breathwork and nutrition form the foundation, because they have the biggest impact on how you feel. We keep things simple. The aim is not to overhaul your life, but to make small, consistent shifts that support your energy, your mood and your overall sense of balance.
 
Over time, you begin to understand your body in a different way. You notice what helps and what does not. You feel more steady, more clear, and more able to respond to what this stage of life is bringing.
 
I offer one-to-one coaching and focused sessions to support you with what you are navigating right now, whether that is low energy, changing hormones, stress, or feeling disconnected from yourself.

I bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to the Midlife Toolkit, with extensive training in yoga, breathwork, nutrition, and menopause coaching.

My credentials include:

  • More than 800 hours of yoga teacher training (Hatha, Vinyasa, Yin, and Functional Yoga as Therapy), in India, Spain, Ireland, Italy, and Germany.
  • Professional Breath Coach Training

These certifications, combined with my own personal and professional experiences, have equipped me with the skills and expertise to support you on your well-being journey. I’m committed to staying at the forefront of wellness research and practices, ensuring that my programs are always grounded in the latest evidence-based methods.

Why choose Midlife Toolkit?

There is no one way to move through midlife.
What works for someone else may not work for you, and that is exactly why my approach is personal.
 
We start with where you are. Your energy, your lifestyle, your challenges, and what you need most right now. My work is grounded in science, but it is always practical. I focus on what actually helps in everyday life. Movement, breathwork and nutrition sit at the centre because they support how you feel on a daily basis.
 
This is not about quick fixes or doing more for the sake of it. It is about making small, consistent changes that help you feel more steady, more energised and more like yourself again. Midlife is not something to fear or fix. It is a time to pay attention, to adjust, and to support your body in a different way.
 
You do not have to figure it out on your own. I am here to guide you through it.
It doesn't matter who you are, where you come from. The ability to triumph begins with you. Always."
