Finding Renewal in Life’s Second Act

Hi, I’m Terry! I am a transformational life coach and writer, and someone who has always been drawn to helping others find resilience, hope and renewal. I have lived and loved through deep shifts, sacred pauses, and hard-earned new beginnings.

For much of my life, I have walked with others through caregiving, loss, and reinvention. Not from a place of distance, but because I have been there too. I understand what it feels like to question your identity, to grieve what was, and to sense that something more is calling-even if you’re not yet sure what it is

I have worked as a licensed massage therapist, Reiki Master, caregiver in homes for the elderly and those with special needs, a crisis agency counselor and other jobs that taught me how to work with the public. Due to these careers I have a keen understanding of the mind-body connection. I also have spent quite a long while healing from chronic illness.

While I maintain my massage therapy license, my focus is today is no longer on bodywork but on inner transformation and life coaching.

My work is grounded in the belief that we are not broken-we are simply in the process of becoming our next version. Sometimes what looks like stillness or confusion is actually a sacred dormancy before new growth.

Through my coaching, I create a space where people in the second half of life can reconnect with their voice, reclaim their worth, and rediscover the vibrant, wise self within. This is not about fixing, it is about remembering who you are and honoring where you’re going. I would be honored to walk that path with you.

I’ve come to believe that stillness is never wasted—it’s the sacred space before growth. Having walked through caregiving, loss, and profound reinvention, I now help others in midlife reclaim their voice, rediscover their inner wisdom, and step into the next version of who they’re becoming. My work is grounded in compassion and lived experience, and guided by the belief that we are not broken—we’re simply in the beautiful process of becoming whole again.

While coaching and writing are central to my life, they are not the whole of it. I find renewal in simple joys-long walks in nature, time spent with my dog, meaningful conversations with friends and family and quiet moments with a good book or journal. These grounding experiences help keep me balanced and remind me of the importance to tending to both roots and branches. I live in Michigan with my husband, son and Labrador retriever. My book on grief and loss will be coming out in 2026.
