Hello, I’m Marie
A Life Transition Coach for Women.
Specialising in Midlife and beyond.
I offer a calm, unhurried space to make sense of where you are and what comes next.
Together, we reflect on what may be holding you in place and gently begin to shape a way forward that feels more aligned with who you are now.
Perhaps you are at a point in life when things are changing – sometimes subtly and quietly, and sometimes all at once.
Or perhaps things feel more open and you are beginning to think about what comes next, even if you are not sure where to begin.
WHEN SOME PARTS OF LIFE BEGIN TO SHIFT.
Children grow up and need you differently.
Parents become frail or you lose them.
Work life plateaus.
You may be facing redundancy or planning retirement.
Relationships shift.
Your body is changing.
On the outside you are coping.
On the inside you are recalibrating.
You may be used to holding everything together. Yet somewhere within, something has shifted and it can feel unfamiliar to finally ask what you need.
Not because anything is wrong, but because the roles and identities that once defined you are beginning to evolve.
I UNDERSTAND HOW QUIETLY LIFE CAN RESHAPE YOU – THE CHALLENGES IT BRINGS AND THE POSSIBILITIES THAT CAN EMERGE ALONGSIDE IT.
My career began in nursing where I supported people through some of life’s most vulnerable moments.
From there, I moved into the pharmaceutical industry, eventually working in international senior leadership roles.
I worked across different cultures, leading learning and development initiatives that helped people and organisations navigate complex, changing environments.
Throughout my career, I’ve supported leadership programmes for women.
Through mentoring and coaching, I’ve helped women build confidence in themselves and step forward in their careers in a way that felt right for them.
The settings may have been different, but the thread was the same – supporting people through uncertainty, helping them adapt and find their way forward.
In more recent years, my own life shifted in ways I hadn’t expected. I left the high-pressured corporate work life, becoming a carer for my parents, until sadly losing both within a short period of time whilst also moving through a divorce.
And like many women at this stage of life. I found myself quietly recalibrating.
Reflecting on who I was now and what truly mattered next.
AS LIFE CHANGED, MY SENSE OF IDENTITY BEGAN TO SHIFT
I needed a calm space to think.
A space to notice the patterns I had carried for years and to begin gently questioning them.
Through that, I started to gain clarity about where I was and what might feel right going forward.
Not in a dramatic way.
But in smaller meaningful shifts.
I also learned the importance of being patient and self-compassionate.
Some days felt clear
Others didn’t.
And that was part of the process too.
What reassured me most was this. I wasn’t stuck and I didn’t need to rush.
I could take this one step at a time.
THAT EXPERIENCE BECAME THE FOUNDATION OF MIND SHAPE AND CONTINUES TO SHAPE THE CALM, THOUGHTFUL SUPPORT I OFFER WOMEN NAVIGATING LIFE TRANSITIONS
