Your Coach
Hi, I’m Lynda,
I am a qualified Life Coach with over 10 years’ experience. I am Third Age Women Certified (a certification focused on menopause and wellbeing), a Practitioner of Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) & Neuro-linguistic Programming (NLP), & have recently completed ‘Navigating Midlife Transitions’ with the Modern Elder Academy.
Now, in my 50s, I look back on my perimenopausal years as a time of personal growth & expansion, having experienced many disruptors, lifequakes & transitions in midlife of my own.
I love guiding my clients to a healthier, happier place, through the trials and tribulations of their own perimenopausal years, to the freedom of menopause and beyond.
I look forward to welcoming you to The Midlife Slice soon.

Our workshops/retreats take place in a tranquil and beautiful lunar bell tent, perfectly pitched for the summer in Lynda’s own garden; a space that also offers a seat with Buddha where you can connect more deeply with yourself, social spaces to connect with others and pockets of peacefulness where you can take time whenever it is needed.
Spending time in nature can generate many positive emotions, such as calmness, joy, and creativity and can facilitate concentration … the perfect environment for self-discovery, reflection, a-ha! moments and connecting with others.
Our uniquely designed space also offers a sense of freedom – a place to breathe. It’s something a little out of the ordinary and fun – a place to be playful, to get creative, and to be inspired.

Why do we sit in a circle?
A circular seating arrangement creates a sense of belonging. A welcoming space in which people feel more comfortable flexing their curiosity, sharing their ideas and open to finding creative solutions. It provides a learning environment rich in compassion and self-discovery; one where people choose to take actions to support their goals in the knowledge that they also have the support of the circle. The overall impact of which has a positive effect on personal growth, emotions, and well- being.
How much time commitment does a workshop/retreat require?
In most cases, the only time commitment is that of the event itself. Some retreats may give you the option to do some preparatory work, for example, a vision board workshop may suggest collecting magazines to inspire you at the retreat.
All workshops/retreats invite you to go inwards, reflect, imagine and contemplate and, as a result, after the event you may find yourself wanting to do further self-discovery work, or perhaps making journaling a daily ritual or taking action on the commitments you made to yourself whilst at the workshop/retreat.
How do I know if A workshop/retreat is for me?
We hope that the workshop/retreat descriptions provide you with a good idea of what to expect from the workshop/retreat and outline who they have been designed for. However, if you are still unsure, please email any questions you may have to [email protected]
How many people will be on the workshop/retreat with me?
Our workshops and retreats are designed so that each participant feels welcome and has a quality experience. We also want each person to participate in all the activities, contribute fully and leave feeling happy, and fulfilled.
As such, each workshop and retreat can accommodate eight people. Where more spaces are available, we will highlight this in the specific event’s information.
Do I need to bring anything with me oR WEAR ANYTHING IN PARTICULAR?
In most cases you will not need to bring anything to your workshop/retreat as everything is usually provided. If there is a need for you to bring anything along, such as a blanket or yoga mat, this will be highlighted in the details of the workshop/retreat.
It is recommended that you wear comfortable clothes, as some of the time will be spent sitting on bean bags or meditation cushions.
What is a Midlife Transition Coach?
In our lifetime we all encounter many challenges which vary in size and impact. We call these life disruptors and lifequakes, many of which can occur in our 40s and 50s. Some are voluntary (E.g. Changing jobs, choosing to leave a marriage, moving abroad), others we think we are prepared for, but often are not (E.g. the loss of an elderly relative, children leaving home, a promotion), and others simply blindside us (E.g. Losing someone close unexpectedly, our spouse leaving us, a poor health diagnosis). Each can change the course of our lives, by a little or a lot, and how we navigate these transitions is up to us.
One way to learn how to successfully navigate your life’s transitions and disruptors is to seek the support of a transition coach.
A Midlife Transition Coach will help those in their 40s, 50s and 60s equip themselves with the essential tools and mindset required to turn unease and upheaval into growth and renewal, and navigate midlife transitions with meaning, purpose, and skill.
What coaching qualifications do you have?
I am a qualified Life Coach with over 10 years of experience. I am Third Age Women Certified (a certification focused on menopause and wellbeing), a Practitioner of Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) and Neuro-linguistic Programming (NLP), and have completed ‘Navigating Midlife Transitions’ with the Modern Elder Academy.
I have also experienced many major life transitions of my own – the place in which I learned most – including ending a significant relationship, being unexpectedly made redundant, leaving a great job to set up my own consultancy, going freelance after having been fulltime employed for 20 years, moving to several new cities, temporarily living abroad, supporting my ageing parents from afar, not knowing my ‘what’s next?’ and the shedding of old identities, to name but a few, as well as having helped my many clients through their own midlife transitions and disruptors.
