1:1 Private Coaching
Roar Truth to Power
Private somatic coaching & mentorship for midlife women ready to draw a line in the sand, take back their confidence and power, and finally be the main character of their own story.
If you dream about blowing up your life, you’re no cliche.
Your survival instinct has kicked in and it won’t shut up until you do something about it.
Living in wildly painful misalignment - often for decades - can feel like existing in a prison you never planned, but that you accidentally helped to build.
If you desperately want change and have tried everything to make an unbearable circumstance more bearable, but you can’t seem to break the debilitating cycles that keep you trapped - I see you.
It’s not that you’re not smart or capable enough to accomplish everything that you desire. Actually, it’s the opposite.
You’re highly intelligent and intuitive, which is the reason you’re so ashamed by the soul-crushing dynamics you feel powerless to escape.
Because once you know better, you should be able to do better, right?
Wrong. You’re finding it hard to move forward with confidence, because:
Being raised as a girl, means your nervous system likely learned to seek safety, trust and approval outside yourself, not within.
Your wise body has numbed out, frozen up or fawned as a way to protect you from people, environments and a society that values compliance over authenticity.
You had to turn down the dial of your desire and aliveness to keep functioning in the roles expected of you, even when you felt used, dismissed or coerced.
These are not deficits in you.
They’re obvious, natural responses to systemic inequality and structural power imbalance that have helped you survive - until now.
Now, you’ve reached a threshold. You’re no longer willing to spend the second half of your life, imprisoned by the conditions that have created the unsafety and exhaustion, severing you from your vibrant aliveness.
With the right tools and support, you can finally let go of the patterns and cycles that keep you from your joy, authenticity and potential. Learn the nervous system skills and build the emotional and mental capacity to ride the waves of uncertainty and create a life that actually feels like your own.
Roar Truth to Power is your path to embodied freedom in midlife and beyond.
This high touch, personalised program is a “line in the sand” declaration to your midlife becoming and there’s nothing else out there like it.
What if I blow everything up and never recover? What if my selfish needs hurt others or people don’t like the version of me I’m becoming? What if it’s revealed I’m not the nice, put together woman I’ve tried so hard to be? What if I make mistakes or heaven forbid, I fail?
I know these questions intimately. Wrestling with remaining in a predictable situation that was hurting me, or leaping fearfully into a future I couldn’t predict was an initiation in itself. But in taking the leap, I found dignity in the depths of my shame, self-compassion in my lowest lows, and a new confidence in the chaos. But the best thing?
Once I chose the courageous path of self-respect over the illusion of external safety, my body began to heal and open to feeling more alive than I could have imagined.
I’ve personally walked through the fire of midlife awakening and the exquisite relief of coming home to myself, and I’ve got you, every step of the way.
Inside Roar Truth to Power, I’ll skill you up to:
support your nervous system, expand your embodied trust, reestablish self-respect and self-worth down to your bone marrow, and reclaim the energy to make powerful and aligned steps forward towards the intimacy, vibrancy and soul-deep fulfillment you’re ready to receive.
Whether it’s your career, marriage, health or any other agonising tension that keeps you in a holding pattern; living with the chronic ache of self-abandonment and betrayal is no joke.
It’s one thing to know you need to make urgent change, but it’s a whole other thing to TRUST this truth to lead you. That’s the deeper embodied shift I’m here to help you create.
You’ll walk away from our work together feeling grounded and at peace; powerfully rooted in who you are and what really matters. But most of all, the vibrant aliveness you’ll have unlocked as a result of a new relationship with your body as a safe and trustworthy ally, will continue to steadily fuel you into your next chapter.
