Midlife and Menopause Coach
Menopause Symptoms and Life Stage
Many women struggle through menopause, some not even realising the symptoms they experience are caused by this life stage, but there is help at hand.
Qualified midlife and menopause coach Kàren Maggs guides women through changes in their life including perimenopause and menopause with information, coaching and strategies to ease the path.
“Menopause can be a challenging time but there are ways we can smooth the transition. I’m passionate about educating women on this little talked about subject so that they are empowered to deal with it.”
Kàren is an experienced Beautiful You Coaching Academy qualified mid-life coach, My Menopause Transformation Practitioner and is completing training to become a qualified Menopause Doula with Doula Training Canada.
She combines her expertise from all areas to coach women in their 40s to 60s and beyond, through both menopause and the big changes they are often making at this time in their life.
It’s more than just physical
Kàren explains that the process of perimenopause and menopause is more than physical, and also involves a change in mindset around purpose and direction.
“This prepares us for the next phase, our wise woman years where, after years of caring for others, we are able to focus on ourselves and what brings us joy and purpose.”
“My approach is to educate women about what they are going through, looking at the whole person rather than just the physiological side of the hormone changes.”
Kàren is particularly passionate about helping women to realise their potential.
“In Western society women seem to somehow disappear after midlife, but I’m on a mission to change that concept. This is actually when we have the most power and ambition.”
Your Second Spring
Kàren prefers the Traditional Chinese Medicine concept where the time after menopause is known as the Second Spring, a time of renewal, rebirth, and stepping into our wisdom and power.
“It’s a time for women to find new passions and enjoy life with vitality and enthusiasm.”
Kàren Maggs Coaching offers a variety of life and menopause coaching packages for women. These include a three- or six-month coaching series, a menopause discussion group which offers a safe space to learn and share with others, and a retreat day where clients take a breather from daily life, nurture themselves and learn about this special time of life transition.
“I get such a thrill out of guiding women through what are often difficult times and seeing them bloom and blossom into the vital and happy women they can be,” says Kàren.

“From our very first session, Karen made me feel completely at ease. She has an incredible way of listening in the most judgement-free way and she seemed to immediately understand me. Through Karen’s loving guidance I have come to truly appreciate who I am at my very core. My time with Karen resulted in meaningful and lasting change, and I’m so very grateful I had her as my coach.”

“If you are anything like I was, you’ll probably find taking the step to actually have a chat with me quite intimidating, but believe me it’s not. I’m a midlife woman, just like you, experiencing the same things as you. I’m not scary, intimidating, overpowering or overbearing. Instead I am open, warm and caring, and I’d love to meet you.”
