You’re Not Broken ... You’re Between Chapters.
A gentle, creative space for women 55+ navigating midlife transition - through reflection, creativity, and community.
This is how women slowly remember how to be the Queen of their own story.
This is for women in midlife who feel a quiet restlessness or longing —
and want space to listen before making changes.
We help women reconnect with themselves first.
Clarity, confidence, and agency come later.
If you’re in your 50s, 60s, or 70s and feeling:
• restless but unsure why
• creatively disconnected
• finished with old roles but unclear about what’s next
• lonely in ways that are hard to explain
Nothing has gone wrong.
You’re standing in a threshold many women reach —
after decades of caring, working, and holding things together.
This is not:
- life coaching
- therapy
- self‑help
- a reinvention program
This is:
- a creative, reflective approach to midlife
- space to understand what you’re feeling
- gentle practices before big changes
- community without performance
🎨 Gentle creative practices
✍️ Reflective writing & storytelling
👭 Small, supportive gatherings
🌿 A human pace
Women don’t come here to become someone new.
They come here to come back to themselves.
Be the Queen of Your Own Damn Story
Not by forcing confidence or having all the answers — but by listening, remembering, and reclaiming agency in your own time.
If something in you feels stirred — even quietly — you’re welcome here.
Begin with a simple, gentle first step.

Midlife isn’t asking you to start over.
It’s asking you to come home —
and when you’re ready,
to wear your crown on your own terms.

My Mission
Hi, I'm Minette, Your Midlife Transformation Coach.
Many people reach midlife or retirement feeling like they’ve lost themselves, they struggle to remain seen and heard, valued and relevant.
They say things like: "At 61 years old I don't know who I am. I've become someone I'm not familiar with. Someone I don't recognize. This is a deeply painful realization. I look at this as an opportunity to re-create to rebuild to reinvent."
They’re not sure of their goals or even what to do next, but they are seeking, looking for that spark of creativity, spirituality, and joy.
Sound familiar? If this sounds like you, you’re not alone.
You are the Hero of your own journey and what you need most right now is a Guide. That’s me.
I am on a mission to empower people in the second half of life who find themselves on a journey of rediscovery and renewal. I help them embrace their creativity and rewrite the story of their lives so that they can find their purpose and joy in a meaningful, values-led life.
What you can expect from me is how to use creative process as a powerful tool for personal growth, self-awareness and self-discovery. I help you reconnect to the magic and creative wisdom within so that you can reclaim the lost parts of yourself and design a life of purpose and meaning.
I share a variety of creative processes like art journaling, intuitive collage, painting, writing, and other expressive arts in a fun, approachable way that integrates my coaching with art making.

I had no idea I was an artist, but a nudge from the universe pointed me to Minette's Wild Creative Abandon retreat in August. I am so grateful! Minette provides a safe space not only for allowing the sleeping inner artist to come out and play, but also to process whatever might be happening below the surface. The circle of women was an amazing supportive space to share all of the celebrations and vulnerabilities that came along with my creative expression. I also took home 3 pieces of painted art work that I'm very proud of. It was lovely to have all of the supplies provided, simple suggestions (no instructions) and support when I felt like I hit a wall in my creative process. I can't recommend this retreat enough!

After attending Minette's Wild Creative Abundance art retreat I went home with so much creative inspiration and curiosity for what I might create next in my life and in my art work. In our 2.5 days together we explored our inner landscapes with various mixed media techniques, creative prompts, and sharing in an intimate circle of amazing women. The weekend was filled with laughter, deep connection, new friendships, and an explosion of creative expression! Even though I didn't know anyone I felt liked I truly belonged. As a facilitator and retreat leader Minette brings so much passion for creating process art and making it very simple and accessible for all skill levels. She is a master of fun creative prompts and questions to get you diving deep into your own inner exploration. She created a beautiful, empowering, supportive, and deliciously rich art retreat weekend. I can't wait for the next one!
