Live a life from midlife

June 29, 20252 min read

Somewhere along the way, many women were sold a story.
A quiet, heavy story that says:
You’re past your prime
Slow down now
This is the beginning of the end

But here’s the truth I’ve learned, not just from books or training, but from living my life, keep growing, and also working with women just like you since 1999:
✨ Midlife is not the end. It’s your invitation to finally move forward.

A Time of Powerful Awakening

Midlife isn’t a decline. It’s a threshold, a sacred doorway.
For many women, it’s the first time they have stopped living for everyone else and they started asking themselves: What do I need? What do I want from the years ahead?

Yes, your body is changing. Hormones shift, energy drops, your sleep might be lighter, and things feel different. But those changes are not the enemy. They are signs that your body is still clever, alive, and ready to evolve.

With the right support, mindset, and lifestyle choices, this next chapter can be your most vibrant yet.

What I Know for Sure

At 75, I feel more alive, mobile, and clear than I ever thought about.
People often think I’m 60, and while that’s flattering, it’s not about the number.
It’s about how I feel. and it’s how you can feel too.

This vitality didn’t come from chasing perfection. It came from:

  • Keep moving through life, not daily

  • Embracing meals that are healthy, not just ones that look perfect every day

  • Working with my body instead of against it

  • Staying curious and open-minded

  • Prioritising rest, peace, and inner balance

  • Releasing old beliefs and keep growing

And most importantly: choosing to see midlife as a beginning, not a countdown.

The Mindset Shift That Changes Everything

You are not invisible
You are not too late
You are not past it

You are powerful, wise, and starting this new phase in your life. Your life experience is a gift. And your body, even with its shifts and signs of time, is still your greatest ally.

When you shift your mindset, from fear of ageing to trust your body and mind, everything begins to change. Health improves. Energy returns. Confidence grows.

You Don’t Have to Do It Alone

This is why I created Greater Later Living, to guide, support, and inspire you as you step into this new chapter. Through my treatments and online courses, I share what I’ve learned from decades of living well, helping others, and never giving up on what’s possible.

Whether you're navigating menopause, longing for better sleep, easing anxiety, or just trying to reconnect with yourself, I’m here to remind you:

👉 There’s still so much life to live. And it’s waiting for you to say yes.

Let’s Begin Together

If this message speaks to your heart, I invite you to explore what I offer—treatments, courses, and honest, heart-led support.

Because greater later isn’t just a phrase.
It’s a way of life.

Due to experiences from life and working with clients, I was hugely inspired, and passionate to share that we can have

a life to live from midlife to beyond.

We can have a life with Purpose, Health, Energy and Mobility.

The Purpose does not need to be huge, it is what keeps you happy and motivated.
