Supporting You As Your Amazing Kids Spread Their Wings - Helping You to Discover What's Next

You've done an incredible job raising independent, capable humans. Now it's time to celebrate YOU and this exciting new chapter.

Here's what I know

Family doesn't end when kids leave home - it evolves into something different and equally beautiful. Your role as a parent transforms, your relationships deepen in new ways, and YOU get to grow alongside this wonderful evolution.

Whether you're preparing for the big goodbye, navigating those first quiet weeks, or ready to rediscover who you are beyond daily parenting duties - you're exactly where you need to be.

What Seasons Are You Feeling Today?

AUTUMN FEELINGS

Change is Coming

"I can sense something shifting....."

That feeling when you know transition is on the horizon. Maybe they haven't left yet, or maybe they have but you're still processing. There's anticipation mixed with uncertainty, beauty mixed with loss. You're aware that family life as you know it is changing, and that brings up ALL the emotions.

WINTER FEELINGS

The Quiet Grief

"Everything feels so different now...."

The sadness, the missing them, the strange emptiness where chaos used to be. Some days you're mourning what was, the noise, the mess, the constant need to be 'on'. It's okay to grieve this ending, even while you're proud of their independence. Winter feelings are part of the process of adjustment.

SPRING FEELINGS

Hope & Possibility

"Maybe there is something exciting ahead...."

Those moments when curiosity creeps in. What if this chapter could be amazing? What dreams have been quietly growing while you were busy parenting? You're starting to feel hopeful about who you might become, what you might discover about yourself. New beginnings feel possible.

SUMMER FEELINGS

Ready to Bloom

"I'm excited about what I can create now..."

Energy, enthusiasm, and clarity about what you want. You're ready to nurture those dreams, take action, and create a life that truly excites you. You can see how your family is growing into it's new shape - different but still deeply connected. This is your time to flourish and enjoy what comes next.

Here's the Beautiful Truth About Seasons.......

You might feel autumn and spring in the same day. Winter might arrive without warning on a sunny Tuesday. Summer feelings can bloom on a rainy day.

Your emotional seasons don't follow a calendar - they flow and shift like the real weather.

Some days you'll cycle through all four, and that's not just normal, it's human

The magic happens when you learn to honour whatever season you're feeling without judgement

Access: FIVE Ways to THRIVE Through the Seasons of Transition

Hello and welcome!

I'm Louise and I am excited that you are here.

As a Mum of two now adult daughters, I want you to know that I understand how this stage of life can feel.

I also know that just like the seasons, life always moves on and we do adjust to new circumstances and situations.

The family life you once enjoyed, and maybe now miss, will be replaced by new ways of being as a family.

Part of the joy of this stage will be the evolution of your family life - different but very much still your family.

Wherever you are right now, perhaps tentative and concerned about the change that is looming, sad for what has changed, grateful for new beginnings, excited for new freedoms, or questioning what is next for you.

You are in the right place.

There are no rights and wrongs in times of transition.

I look forward to supporting you in some way as you discover what the next stage of life holds for you.

Your heading goes here

Louise and I recently worked together. She helped me to clarify my plans and vision for the year and beyond. This has bought me so much clarity and so many insights and has motivated me to start with the first few steps. Louise is a warm, friendly and ultra-effective coach and mentor

I was impressed by the empathy of my coach independently of our different national origins. And her ability to track between emotional, rational and experiential themes and make a potent question to me that made an inner link either during the session or afterwards.

Don't hesitate - THRIVE helped me to appreciate the possibility that there could be more for the future and what's more - I could create the future with the skills and experience I already possessed
