Evolving with Intention — Coaching through menopause and life transitions
Supporting clarity and self-trust when life is asking more of you.
Transitions — whether perimenopause, menopause, or other defining personal or professional shifts — can heighten stress, disrupt focus, and quietly challenge your confidence.
By understanding how your brain responds to stress, pressure, and uncertainty, you can begin to work with it rather than against it — and move forward with greater clarity and self-trust.
Understand your mind. Redefine what is possible.
Menopause often affects far more than the body. Many capable women begin to notice subtle but meaningful shifts — focus isn’t as sharp, stress feels closer to the surface, sleep becomes less reliable, or confidence wavers in ways that don’t quite make sense.
When you’ve long relied on your clarity and capability, these changes can feel particularly disorienting.
Other defining transitions — career changes, evolving family dynamics, or a growing sense that priorities are shifting — can create similar pressure. You may feel stretched more thinly than before, notice your patience shortening, or find yourself reacting in ways that don’t feel like your usual self.
AdventureYourself offers neuroscience-informed menopause coaching for women, alongside support through other significant life transitions. The focus is on helping you understand how your brain responds to stress, pressure, and uncertainty — so you can work with those responses more effectively and move forward with greater steadiness and self-trust.
Through this work, women often begin to:
recognise thinking patterns and habits that limit clarity or confidence
rebuild self-trust during moments of uncertainty or heightened stress
make decisions with greater focus in your career, life, and relationships
strengthen emotional steadiness during periods of change
create practical, sustainable steps that support meaningful progress
Over time, these shifts begin to change how you experience both pressure and possibility.
What Becomes Possible When Change Is Better Understood
Periods of sustained stress, hormonal shifts, or prolonged uncertainty can gradually erode confidence and mental clarity. Many women describe feeling unlike themselves during this phase — even while knowing their underlying capability hasn’t changed.
This work supports a different experience of change — one where understanding begins to replace self-criticism, and steadiness returns before solutions are forced.
Through this brain-based approach, women often experience:
clearer thinking and better focus under cognitive and emotional load
a steadier nervous system and reduced overwhelm and reactivity
renewed confidence in decision-making
a stronger sense of self during perimenopause, menopause, burnout, or periods of re-evaluating life and work
practical, sustainable strategies for navigating uncertainty
Rather than pushing for change, this work creates the conditions for resilience, clarity, and confidence to re-emerge in ways that are realistic, grounded, and sustainable.
Menopause Coaching - Support for a Life Transition
Many women arrive in perimenopause or menopause feeling less like themselves — unsettled, emotionally reactive, foggy, or doubting their confidence — even though nothing about their intelligence, capability, or resilience has diminished.
Perimenopause and menopause involve real shifts in how the brain responds to stress, emotion, sleep, and cognitive load — often at a time when life is already asking more.
This coaching supports women who want to understand what is happening, regain a sense of internal stability, and move through this phase with greater clarity and self-trust.
Rather than minimising symptoms or pushing through, we work with the neurological and emotional changes that accompany menopause. The focus is not on fixing, but on expanding capacity, strengthening choice, and cultivating self-compassion — translating neuroscience into practical strategies that support steadiness in everyday life.
This work may be supportive if you are experiencing:
increased emotional reactivity or overwhelm
changes in focus, memory, or mental clarity
disrupted sleep and reduced resilience
a loss of confidence or sense of self
difficulty making decisions or trusting your judgement
Menopause coaching is offered as individual 1:1 support, informed by neuroscience and mindfulness-based practices, and designed to complement — not replace — medical care.
Neuroscience-Informed Coaching - Support Through Personal and Professional Change
Alongside menopause-specific coaching, this approach supports women navigating other periods of change — including career transitions, burnout, evolving family dynamics, or broader life reorientation.
The focus is on restoring internal stability and perspective when familiar strategies are no longer effective.
Coaching is tailored to your pace, context, and capacity, strengthening awareness, emotional regulation, and intentional choice.
This pathway is for women seeking thoughtful, grounded support to reassess priorities, regain clarity, and respond more intentionally during times of stress or transition. The work is designed to meet you where you are — and support what becomes possible from there.

What People Are Saying
“You are such a caring person. You helped me push my boundaries. Thank you.”
— Natali N.“Sonja has a deep passion for and knowledge of the topic. The breakout activities were excellent. Whilst many people may think they have a great knowledge of EI, there is always more to learn.”
— Kerry S. (EI Workshop) “Since starting my own business, I’ve become particularly aware of how much my personal wellbeing affects my professional capacity and realised it was high time I invested in both.
It has been great working with Sonja. She was equally comfortable helping me work through personal challenges and guiding me to make decisions about my business. She is warm, generous and thoughtful. She did compassionately challenge me to identify what I needed and wanted, and she has given me some great tools to move forward.”
— Catherine H. (Business Owner)“ I’d like to thank Sonja for all of her hard work, mentoring and challenging of how we do things that has meant we have been able to improve as a team and in our delivery to our clients.”
— Karen L.Understanding Your Response to Change
So you can move forward with greater steadiness and confidence.
Change can feel destabilising - particularly when it touches identity, capacity, or confidence.
When we understand what is shifting, how our minds respond under pressure, and what supports steadiness, we can engage with change more consciously and see what becomes possible within it.
If you’re ready to approach transitions with greater awareness and self-trust, I invite you to begin with a conversation.
In that space, we can explore what feels unsettled, what patterns are shaping your experience, and what capacity you want to strengthen.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this coaching only for menopause?
This work specialises in menopause coaching for women navigating perimenopause and change. It also supports other periods of sustained stress or transition.
What happens in a coaching session?
Each session offers a calm, focused and safe space where we explore your goals, patterns, and mindset. Using neuroscience-based tools and mindfulness practices, we work to build clarity, shift unhelpful thinking, and identify meaningful next steps.
Do I need to know exactly what I want before we begin?
Many women start coaching without clear answers. Clarity is something we develop together — not something you need to bring with you.
How is this different from therapy?
Coaching is future-focused and action-oriented. We work with where you are now, where you want to go, and the mindset shifts that support progress. Therapy often explores the past; coaching centres on growth, direction, and building supportive habits.
I’m going through menopause or another transition. Will this help?
Coaching supports women navigating menopause, perimenopause, career shifts, burnout, or other meaningful transitions. It helps you move through change with clarity and steadiness.
What is menopause coaching?
Menopause coaching provides neuroscience-informed 1:1 support for women navigating menopause and perimenopause. It focuses on restoring clarity, internal stability, and self-trust during a significant life transition.
What if I’m new to coaching?
You don’t need prior experience with coaching. Everything is explained clearly and practically, and we move at a pace that feels right for you.
How do I know if this is right for me?
The best way is to talk. A complimentary conversation gives you a chance to ask questions, experience the approach, and see whether it feels like a good fit.
