Midlife is an invitation to begin again.

To get unstuck, rediscover yourself, and design a life that finally feels like your own.

But it’s more than about getting unstuck. It’s about discovering how free you can feel…and letting that freedom reshape your relationships, work, and way of being.

“Let me happily recommend Sharon to you. She is a wise, loving and skilled teacher.” — Jack Kornfield

Is This You?

Midlife can stir big questions, like Who am I now? What’s next?  


I know it did for me.

You may feel something shifting beneath the surface — in your work, relationships, or sense of purpose. I work with women who feel change stirring and are ready to meet it with curiosity and courage. Here you’ll find room to breathe, tools that truly work, and the kind of support that helps you create a life that feels like your own. I draw on ancient wisdom and modern science, curated for this unique season of life — to help you reconnect with what matters most and move forward with confidence and clarity. I offer groups, courses, and private mentoring that meet you where you are and guide you toward what’s next.

Your Midlife Reinvention
Starts Here.

Women Thriving in Midlife (WTM) is my flagship program — a self-paced course and monthly Practice Circle for women ready to navigate change with clarity, compassion, and courage. In a world flooded with advice about how to “do” midlife, clarity matters. COURSE IS AVAILABLE ON DECEMBER 15, 2025!

After working with hundreds of women over the past 15 years, I’ve distilled what truly works — evidence-based practices rooted in ancient wisdom and lived experience.

Through 10 short videos and guided reflection worksheets, you’ll learn practical ways to get unstuck, realign with your values, and design a life that feels like your own.

Your unfolding continues in the WTM Practice Circle — a monthly live community with group coaching, shared reflection, and genuine connection with other women walking this path.

“Sharon has a rare gift for guiding people home to their hearts with wisdom and kindness.” — Tara Brach

Private, Personalized Mentoring
and Coaching

For women ready for focused, individualized support, I offer a limited number of private mentoring and coaching spots each year. Our work together draws from my training as an ICF-certified coach, proven frameworks, mindfulness-based approaches, and the science of wellbeing — combined with over 15 years of guiding women through significant transitions.

Together, we translate insight into action — deepening self-awareness, aligning your choices with your values, and navigating life transitions with clarity and confidence.

Rich, Self-Guided Courses

In addition to my flagship program, I offer a growing library of short, self-guided courses through Thinkific.

Each one blends ancient wisdom, modern science, and real-world experience into simple, practical tools for creating meaningful change, no matter where you are on your journey.

Practice in Community with
Banyan

Alongside my own programs, I facilitate intimate weekly mentoring groups through Banyan, a global mindfulness community dedicated to deep practice and connection.

These small circles offer an empowering, supportive space to bring mindfulness into everyday life, explore what truly matters, and grow in community with others on the path.

Each group is rooted in presence, authenticity, and compassionate accountability, the foundation for real and lasting transformation.

Mentorship for Teachers in
Training

I also serve as a mentor in the Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Certification Program (MMTCP), a two-year international training created by Tara Brach and Jack Kornfield.

In this role, I have the privilege of supporting emerging mindfulness teachers as they deepen their personal practice and learn to teach with authenticity, compassion, and care.

It’s deeply meaningful work that keeps me connected to a vibrant global community of practitioners, and continually enriches everything I offer through my own programs and mentoring.

What Others Say

My Journey to This Work

I discovered meditation in early recovery from alcoholism nearly 30 years ago, and it has been the throughline of my life ever since. Alongside decades of executive leadership — including serving as a VP in the corporate world — I trained as a coach and mindfulness teacher so I could help others navigate change with clarity, courage, and compassion.

I’m also a wife, stepmom, and grandmother, and an ocean lover who finds joy and renewal in the waves. These relationships and experiences keep my practice rooted in the real world — in love, resilience, and possibility.

Today, I support women in midlife to embrace this chapter not as a crisis, but as a doorway to freedom and joy.
