"Flourishing After Forty Five" Programs

Programs
How long has it been since you really flourished?

You’ve been so busy caring for others, for so many decades, that you’re barely on your own radar. No time or energy for tending your spirit or nurturing your body and soul.

You want so much to thrive, but you don’t even know how to start, the reflex of putting everyone and everything else first is so ingrained. Maybe when everything on The List has been crossed off?...

It can happen now, with the Flourishing After Forty Five programs.

These programs — the 6 week Flourishing After Forty Five teleclass, the 6 session Flourishing After Forty Five individual coaching program, or the one-session Flourishing Jump Start — are designed from my 25 years of experience as both a psychotherapist and a life coach. And, as always, from the fertile compost of my own life!


I hesitated spending the money for coaching with Melissa to learn how to flourish. Am I worth this? After all, I am getting by. Well, my time with Melissa was the best investment I’ve ever made in my own life. As I worked her program, my productivity and creativity increased by leaps and bounds. I enjoyed my friends and kids again. I discovered what truly lights me up at 63, not what anyone else thinks should. I’m loving my life, and my own self, like I haven’t in decades. Pure gold and a whole lot of fun!  ~Laura Wadsworth, PhD


The Flourishing After Forty Five programs are perfect for you if:

  • You’re ripe for a life that's ravishingly yours
  • You're eager to break The Trance of Unworthiness
  • You want to learn how to make small easy steps that reap big rewards
  • You’re hungry for encouragement, inspiration, and support
  • You're ready to learn effective ways to nourish yourself, and get past your resistance (finally!) to doing so

  • You’d love to have a hoot doing this!

The wonderful thing about your flourishing is that everyone else around you benefits, too! Imagine how generous and open-hearted you'll feel to those you love when you're overflowing with pleasure and love.

This is truly your time, sister! You can claim what is vitally yours, celebrate and revel in the unique woman that you are, and relish a renewed generosity springing from this deeply happy place.

Discover your own fiercely sweet devotion to yourself, and experience the amazing things that happen in your life when you do.
 

The Flourishing After Forty Five Programs give you the essentials for living your one wild and precious life:

  • STRUCTURE. No stressing out by your sweet self to figure out a life that's just right for you. These programs lead you step by simple, powerful step to a rich and rewarding life

  • ACCOUNTABILITY. Resistance will come up, for sure (just try and tell me you're surprised!). These programs help you stay accountable, in a fun way, for creating a luscious life.

  • SUPPORT. We're just not meant to go it alone. It's SO much easier, and SO much more fun, to receive the gift of support from other like-minded women.

  • INSPIRATION. You know how challenging these times are. Inspiration - getting your pilot light relit - is crucial for rediscovering your own heart and vitality. 

     

With all this financial instability, I didn’t want another expense. But what I learned working with Melissa is that when I learn to nourish myself, I bring new vigor to my professional life. I’ve discovered enjoying my life, without having to spends wads of money shopping to feel cared for, like I used to have to do. I’ve learned I can take care of myself no matter what upheaval is happening around me. I don’t lose sleep any more at night worrying. I trust myself to care for me. I have the skills now to tend to my deepest wellbeing. ~ Jackie Anderson
