Becoming an Elder is one of life's greatest transformations.

Growing older changes our bodies.

Becoming an elder changes our lives.

I help women over fifty-five navigate the inner journey of later life with wisdom, courage, and soul—through coaching, circles, retreats, writing, and meaningful conversations.

We Have Been Taught How to Grow Older.

Not How to Become Elders.

We spend decades building careers, raising families, meeting responsibilities, and becoming who the world expects us to be.

Then something shifts.

We begin asking different questions.

Who am I now?

What still wants to emerge?

How do I live with purpose in the years ahead?

What legacy am I leaving—not just through what I do, but through who I become?

These are not questions of retirement.

They are questions of elderhood.

Along the Way...

  • Over 25 years helping adults learn and grow

  • Master's degree in Leadership

  • Certified Sage-ing Leader

  • Speaker, facilitator, and coach

  • Founder of A Crone in the Woods

  • Creator of Disappoint More People

For much of my career, I helped people grow.

As a leadership educator, facilitator, and coach, I worked with organizations across Canada and internationally, helping people navigate change, develop leadership, and build more meaningful lives at work.

But beneath that professional work, another journey was unfolding.

As I entered the second half of life, I found myself asking different questions. Something shifted and I was more focused on identify, spirituality, purpose and what the third act of life was going to look like for me.

Those questions led me into the study of conscious aging, life review, end-of-life planning, ritual, nature, and what it truly means to become an elder.

Today, everything I create grows from that journey.

What Guides My Work

  • Aging is not a problem to solve but a season to inhabit.

  • Wisdom grows through reflection, not simply experience.

  • Nature is one of our greatest teachers.

  • We become elders by choice, not by age.

  • Community is essential for transformation.

  • Legacy is about who we become as much as what we leave behind.
