About me…
Hi, I’m Jo, a qualified life coach, specialising in coaching with collage.
I work with 50+ women seeking a bold and vibrant midlife. Women who want to say YES to themselves, be selfish, feel powerful and most of all, feel ALIVE.
This is me in a nutshell:
I’m a 52 year old who loves lemons, silent discos, jumping into cold water, reading, weirdness, painting pebbles, zombie films, post-apocalyptic anything, Nutella, my tweezers, getting the giggles, buttermilk pancakes, travelling, falling asleep, being with my family and friends, being on my own, swearing, bright colours, flowers, mountains, trees, the smell of petrol.
The hill I would die on is that women in midlife are a force to be reckoned with.
We have been conditioned to expect a slow, quiet slide into old age once we turn 50. Nothing is further from the truth.
This is OUR time. We’ve done everything for everyone else for decades and now it’s our turn to take the starring role in our midlife.
Collage coaching had a profound, transformational effect on my own life. My mission is to support other midlife women to experience this unique and powerful coaching experience for themselves.
I’ve felt the chaos, overwhelm and upheaval in being a midlife woman. I’ve also found the joy in finally stepping into myself and living my life in the way that feels right.
It was the plot twist I was NOT expecting!
I live in Lewes with my husband, Jon, and our two children Isabelle and Toby. We are a neurodiverse, blended family.
I bring to my coaching lived experience of motherhood, mental health struggles, menopause, divorce, co-parenting, bereavement, caring for an elderly relative; navigating all those things whilst working in a demanding job.
I’d love nothing more than to support your own journey to a bold and vibrant midlife.

I made this collage during my training with AndréaWatts, founder of Unglue You and The Collage Coaching Technique™.
Andréa describes how ‘The combination of collage and coaching reconnects you to your inner wisdom and intuition. This creative technique is a powerful way to get unstuck as you explore and express the hidden experiences and mindsets that influence how you feel, think, and behave.’
The process of creating my collage was transformational for me. I realised how tethered I had been to expectations in my early life around what a ‘successful career’ looked like. The collaging experience reaffirmed my belief that success and ambition is deeply personal. My ambition to live a quiet, unmaterialistic, creative, calm life was entirely valid.
I connected to younger me who felt unconfident and inadequate in her choices. The image of the girl behind the ladder, and the girl with her hair over her face struck a deep chord. I felt love and compassion for that girl and could reassure her that everything she longed for had come to fruition.
The woman in the centre of the collage is me now, striding confidently with clarity, energy and purpose, even when she’s afraid.
This was the catalyst that led to the creation of The Midlife Twist Method™ for bold 50+ women.
All from one collage!
