MIDLIFE, MENOPAUSE AND BEYOND
Lived-experience coaching for women and teams
I help people and teams through the moments in life and work that feel overwhelming, confusing or out of balance. My approach blends deep coaching experience, lived understanding and practical, science‑based lifestyle strategies for people who want to feel well, think clearly and lead with confidence again
How we can work together
I’m Jackie, coach, author and creator of the Team Worth and Team Tension models. My work blends lived experience with deep coaching practice to support women and teams through real‑life change.
Here are the three ways we can work together:
Community Circle
A supportive space to feel understood, connected and less alone in the changes of midlife and menopause. Each month you’ll join a small group of women for grounding conversation, practical insights and a moment to breathe.
You’ll also get deeper content and access to Jackie between sessions — a steady thread of support without pressure or overwhelm. Stay as long as it feels good, and if you prefer to dip in and out, cancelling is effortless and you can re‑join whenever you need the space again.
Workplace & Teams
Talks, workshops and leadership coaching that bring clarity, trust and healthier ways of working. Grounded in lived experience and human‑centred change, supporting leaders and teams through the pressures of midlife, menopause and organisational transition.
Individual Support
Personalised coaching for midlife, menopause and life transitions. A calm, confidential space to make sense of what’s happening in your body, work and life — and to move forward with clarity, steadiness and confidence.
WHAT YOU'LL GAIN
A space where you feel seen and heard
You’re more than your role, your symptoms or the pressure you’re under. Here, you’re met as a whole person — with your story, your strengths and the weight you’ve been carrying.
Clarity about what’s really going on
Whether it’s a personal transition, a leadership challenge, or the changes of midlife and menopause, we make sense of the thoughts, emotions and patterns that have felt tangled or overwhelming.
Support that meets you where you are
You don’t need the right words or a clear plan. You just show up as you are, and we work gently and honestly from that place.
Practical strategies that fit real life
My approach blends deep coaching experience with science‑based lifestyle insights, helping you understand your energy, stress and wellbeing in a way that feels doable — not daunting.
Strength for you and the people you lead
Whether you’re navigating change yourself or supporting a team, you’ll gain tools that build trust, resilience and healthier ways of working together.
A sense of yourself again
You’ll leave with more space, more steadiness and a clearer connection to who you are — not just who you’ve had to be.
For women in midlife and menopause
You’ll gain a clearer understanding of how stress, sleep, hormones and lifestyle interact — and what you can do to feel strong, well and fully yourself again.
WHAT OTHERS SAY
Here are some reflections from people who have chosen to work me and continue to shape their stories with me as their coach and companion:
“Her open, honest and curious style, to get the best out of me, really help push me out of my comfort zone and has been incredible.”
“It's fair to say that this experience has been life changing, I have really been able to tap into areas of myself and address some underlying issues that I had previously ignored. I never knew just how much these were holding me back but by undertaking these tasks I was able to unlock my full potential and really feel like I could be my true authentic self.”
“Jackie never judges - helps put an alternative perspective and navigates confidentiality seamlessly - I feel totally confident placing my trust in her.”

Who I am
I’m Jackie, a coach, author and creator of the Team Worth and Team Tension models. My work is shaped by lived experience, deep coaching practice and a long career supporting people and teams through the moments when life feels tangled, pressured or out of balance.
What I bring
I blend human‑centred coaching with science‑based lifestyle insights, helping you understand what’s happening in your body, your work and your relationships in a way that feels grounding, not overwhelming. My approach is calm, practical and rooted in real life; especially for women navigating midlife, menopause and the messy bits of change.
Why this work matters to me
I’ve lived through the shifts of midlife and menopause myself, alongside the pressures of leadership, caregiving and personal change. I know how disorienting it can feel when your energy, clarity or confidence suddenly shifts and how powerful it is to have a space where you’re met with understanding, not judgement.
How I work
Whether I’m supporting an individual or a senior team, I create a space where you can slow down, make sense of what’s really going on and find steadiness again. Together, we work toward clarity, strength and real, lasting change — in a way that fits your life, not someone else’s idea of how it should look.
My clients have described me as perceptive, reassuring and patient, able to challenge and question in a productive, insightful manner. Here is what one of them says,
“You have such a big beautiful open heart, and people want to hear your voice as it’s so full of wisdom and kindness.
You are very empowering. I feel inspired by your company.”
You’re not alone in this — and you don’t have to figure it out by yourself.
