Your next chapter starts here.

Life changes at different times in ways we don't always expect.

If you're a woman over 40 and are navigating a life shift - like divorce, an ADHD diagnosis, kids leaving home, menopause. recovery from an illness or some other life change, I will help you reconnect with who you are and guide you to creating a future that feels exciting, meaningful and yours.

No pressure, just a relaxed 30-minute chat to see what you need

Life doesn't stand still and neither do we.

At certain points in life, things begin to change.

Sometimes it's obvious, like a divorce, the children growing up or recovering from an illness.

Sometimes it's quieter - a late ADHD diagnosis, a shift in priorities, or a feeling that the life you've been living no longer quite fits.

You may find yourself asking questions you've never asked before.

Who am I now?

What do I want from this next phase of life?

What would it look like to do something for me?

These moments of transition can feel uncertain, but they can also be incredibly powerful.

They create space to rediscover yourself, rethink what matters, and begin shaping a life that feels aligned with who you are today.

And you don't have to navigate that shift alone.

You don't have to figure it all out on your own

Life transitions can bring uncertainty, but they also open the door to new possibilities.

I'm Kate and through Gentle Roots Coaching, I help women over 40 navigate these shifts with clarity, confidence and renewed purpose.

We will work together to create a space for you to pause, reflect and explore what you truly want from this next phase of life.

Coaching is a conversation that helps you to move forward with intention - not by telling you what to do, but by helping you to uncover the answers that already exist within you.

What we might explore
  • Rediscovering who you are beyond long-held beliefs

  • Rebuilding confidence after a life change

  • Exploring new passions, ideas or possibilities

  • Turning long-held dreams into real plans

  • Creating a future that feels exciting and meaningful again

Sometimes the most powerful step is simply giving yourself the space to ask:
"What do I want next?"

Hi, I'm Kate

I know what it's like to reach a point in life where things begin to shift.

The roles we've carried start to change, and suddenly we're left asking new questions about who we are and what we want next.

Alongside running businesses and studying psychology, I've spent years exploring personal growth, resilience, and what helps people move forward when life takes and expected or unexpected turn.

Gentle Roots Coaching grew from a genuine desite to help and support other women through those moments of transition - the times when life can feel uncertain, but also full of new possibility.

I believe every stage of life has something valuable to offer, and that sometimes all we need is the space to pause, reflect and decide what we want our next chapter to look like.

When I'm not coaching, you'll usually find me running my aircooled Volkswagen business, organising Field of Dreams Aircooled VW Show in Escrick, running the local classic Volkswagen owners club, studying psychology, out walking my dog Toby, or spending time with my gorgeous grandsons.

Maybe this is the right time to start exploring what comes next.

If Something you've read here resonates with you, a conversation could be a good place to begin.

A discovery call is simply a relaxed 30-minute chat where we can talk about where you are in life right now, what feels like it might be shifting, and what you'd like the next chapter of your life to look like.

There's no pressure and no expectation - just space to talk and see whether coaching feels like the right step for you.
