helping you understand why reaching midlife has left you feeling all at sea...
You're sailing along in life - then you run into a perfect storm...​
-
the kids move out - but still need support. And money.
-
you're being overtaken at the running club and at the office.
-
your partner seems (is!) moody and distant.
-
work gets harder but you have to keep going.
-
you're struggling with new systems and technology.
-
your parents are elderly and frail and need more and more support.
-
there's no time for your own projects.
-
your blood pressure is rising.
-
friends fall ill, move away, retire early..
​
​​
It feels like everything will fall apart if you don't stay strong, but
-
​you're struggling to cope.
-
you don't know who you are if you're not working.
-
you feel lost in this strange landscape with no familiar landmarks.
-
you drag yourself through the day on autopilot like climbing a mountain with a bag of rocks on your back.
-
sleepless nights mean you're snappy, anxious and forgetful.
-
you get unexplained pains and headaches, sudden panics.
​
It's a lonely, scary place .
But what you're experiencing is loss. And what you're feeling is grief.
Let me introduce myself...
​
I’m Carolyn. I’m a grief educator, professional life coach and former teacher and osteopath, trained in chronic pain recovery.
I’ve spent years helping people with persistent pain and anxiety, seeing how their symptoms link back to distressing events and situations in their lives.
Nearly always there’s a story that’s been buried, left unspoken, never heard.
​
When we bottle up emotions, they accumulate over time. Then the time comes, typically when we hit the perfect storm of midlife, when we can't keep the lid on any longer.
​
I'm especially interested in helping men who are silently navigating these difficult years, not knowing who to talk to. ​
​
Talking is the first step towards lightening the load and letting go of the pain, It's vital for our health and happiness.
​
You don't have to struggle on alone.
​
​I'm here to listen. I'd love to hear from you. Just book a 20 minute call with me.
​
​
Just imagine....
actually relaxing on a Sunday night
going for a run for the pure joy of it​
feeling rested after a long, peaceful sleep
feeling lighter and with more energy
with a fresh appetite for life
being full of ideas for your dream project
free from old regrets and painful memories
knowing you're back at the helm
catching yourself smiling in the mirror
​​​​​
I would love to see you realise this dream.
​
I'm offering:
🔹 A clear but flexible plan tailored to your needs and goals
🔹 Practical, tested strategies that help you discover a new perspective.
🔹 Routines to help you calm the anxiety and get back in control
🔹 A safe, neutral space to explore what's going on for you.
🔹 Support, compassion and accountability every step of the way
