Personalised one-to-one sessions for women travelling the midlife journey of rebirth
Whether in the early days of your midlife metamorphosis or in the middle of your menopausal years, these sessions provide a structure to initiate your Midlife Rebirth and offer guidance as you tread its winding path. Each person’s journey is different, and as your Transformative Mentor, I offer guidance and gentle accountability as you dive deep into discovering your purpose in the second half of life.
While these sessions share themes and practices that are similar to my course, Birthing Wisdom, what makes it distinct is that it is a personalised, solo journey, built around you and your process.
If you’re interested in a group journey of discovery and rebirth, take a look at Birthing Wisdom here.
While mentoring is similar to therapy, both offering supportive methods and practices, the two are different.
Therapy helps answer the question:
How do I heal and become happier?
It focuses on the past. It builds self-awareness.
Mentoring helps answer the question:
What’s my unique purpose and offering?
It focuses on the present. It builds awareness of your own soul.
A mentor offers guidance based on the experience of having walked where you are walking now.
Transformative Mentoring is a bespoke one-to-one journey with the explicit goal of helping women to connect to their purpose and find their voice. You already hold these vital parts of you within yourself, and as our bodies change in menopause, it invites us inward on a journey of rediscovery. Transformative Mentoring is the practice of journeying into the centre of self to meet your soul, and then return, bearing its gifts.
The Midlife Rebirth is a pilgrimage—a circumambulation—a walk around your truest self. But each woman’s journey is different, each pilgrimage takes a new path, and so each time I mentor a woman on this journey, I use my techniques in the way that is right for her, at that moment. This makes the structure of this journey somewhat hard to define.
Whilst no two journeys are the same, which makes describing what a journey will look like difficult, there are some common themes and questions that appear more often than not. I will share these with you, so that you can see if these sessions might be right for you.
1. All journeys begin with three simple questions. These will help to shape your journey into the path that is right for you:
Where are you on your journey?
What do you want to let go?
What is your deepest longing?
2. Spiritual Change: In my work with midlife women, I’ve noticed a spiritual pattern of change that occurs naturally during menopause and the early wisdom years.
A woman seeks solitude.
She grows in self-awareness.
She wants to generously offer her gifts.
3. Soulful Questioning: I’ve also noticed a series of common questions that women ask:
Who am I now?
What’s my purpose?
In this change, what spiritual wisdom is my body offering?
How do I really feel about death and grief and loss?
How can I live a more soul-infused life?
How can I contribute to my community?
What kind of elder do I want to be?
Through Transformative Mentoring, I help you discover your answers to these questions.
4. Your Journey's Conclusion: Since Transformative Mentoring is a journey, with a beginning, middle, and end, I encourage one of the following activities as a way to mark your rebirth and as a conclusion to our time together. You’ll know what feels right for you.
Narrating your story of rebirth in art or in the writing of your personal myth.
A ceremony to mark your passage.
Writing your Wise Woman Commitment.
5. My Tool and Practices: I offer the following tools to help you in your transformation. My objective is to support you on your journey. These tools help you dive deeper into the centre of you and to discover your purpose. During your journey we will discover which tools your soul needs. Perhaps we will invent some new ones. We will always work with what feels right to you.
Nature is our most loyal ally on this journey. Spending time building our relationship with the land invites perspective and a chance to see ourselves in a larger context. I encourage you to foster an authentic and intuitive relationship with Nature.
Story is medicine for the soul. Story helps us connect with ourselves through empathy. Is there a myth you’d like to explore? One that’s been calling you?
Archetypes are a way to rediscover wholeness. It’s a way to identify and work with the different parts of you. For example, working the Artemis archetype might rekindle your love of the wilderness. As a result, nature connection becomes a doorway to find purpose and meaning.
Creativity is a spiritual practice, and because it uses the language of soul (metaphor, images, symbols), it’s a useful way to access wisdom, wholeness, and purpose. The art we make mirrors our soul. This art then offers an opportunity to reflect and communicate your rebirthing journey.
Meditation is a great tool for answering the question: Who am I? It also invites us into the present moment. I offer my clients a number of meditations for their soulwork.
Soulcentric Journaling is a free-writing technique to create a conversation with your truest self and your soul.
Ceremony is a way to recognize and behold what you are becoming—a wise woman elder. As your rebirthing journey comes to an end, I invite you to consider a ceremony. It could be private or with community.
I bring my experience: my own rebirthing midlife journey (I’ve walked where you walk), my former life as a priest (I hold sacred space for others), and my work as a certified Purpose Guide (I walk with others on the journey of soul initiation).
6. What journeys could these sessions take you on? These are just some of the many ways that my clients use these sessions.
As your mentor, I’m like a midwife, holding space for you to rebirth your truest self, the most sacred part of you. I’m here to stand guard as you birth your unique wise woman elder.
I offer a unique perspective from years of working with women in various stages of spiritual development. I bring 30+ years grounding in the spirituality of transformation, the study of the feminine life cycle, and a training ranging from the ordained priesthood to a variety of meditative and somatic practices. I’m currently a Mentor for The Purpose Guide Institute, a poet, and an artist.
I believe in your body’s intelligence. That you have a deep intuitive sense about what’s right for you on this journey. My training in Focusing, an experience-based practice of self-reflection and meditation, helps locate that felt sense within.
I am committed to listening to your soul, looking for your lost threads, and helping you weave together your purpose-filled, soul-infused life.
I’ve walked this midlife journey. I know the themes and the patterns. I know its sacred path.
While I offer single sessions, deep transformational work often needs 3, 6, or 12 sessions. I will follow your lead about what feels right for you. All these sessions will be held online, via a video-call.
One 60-minute Session:
£80

If you would like to book your first Transformative Mentoring session(s) please first book a free 30 minute introductory call with Nicki. This is a chance to get to know each other and answer any questions you might have.
I guide women navigating the soulfulness of menopause to reveal their heart-based wisdom, gifts, and purpose for a regenerative world full of compassion and meaning.
