Our vision is to facilitate a community where people can feel relaxed and included whilst learning, getting the help and support they need, and making the world we live in a better place.
Recent research has confirmed what we already know from our own experiences and those of our friends and family. It has shown that mid life, i.e. from circa 40 to 65 years of age, can be quite tumultuous for women. During this time we’re not only dealing with biological changes, we’re often dealing with work, family, illness, death, securing finances and reaching personal goals too.
Mid Life Thriving is all about getting ourselves into the best possible position physically and mentally, and learning to deal effectively with whatever comes our way. The programme is online, so you can join us from wherever you are.
Initially we start by learning techniques to manage our thoughts and basic principles of nutrition to support that. These are foundation steps to proactively managing confidence, life, health and happiness.
People who proactively do this, typically have fewer health problems, more energy and find time to focus on things that are important to them, creating a sense of empowerment, capability, confidence and peace.
We support you to unlock possibilities and make the changes you dream of - the changes you need to thrive. We offer a vibrant, interactive, immersive and fun 3 month programme with its roots firmly planted in cutting edge science, wisdom and the benefits of community spirit and strength.
Interested? Want to find out more? Please just let us know the best way to contact you, here, and we will get in touch. Feel free to book a place on our next free insight session sharing some of the headline content of the programme
We run Insight Sessions 3 or 4 times each year in advance of a new cohort on our Fundamentals programme. These sessions are online and last for a couple of hours.
You are welcome to come along even if you are just intrigued, there is no pressure or obligation to join the Fundamentals Programme. We hope you will take away a little valuable learning too.
You can book your place here.

"I have obtained a group of similar minded friends that are always one text away and a whole range of skills that just work. Conventional and traditional techniques from other courses and therapies like CBT and mindfulness seemed to make sense but never worked or stuck. However, in this course, the core component of mental health fitness is uncovered and then the course is built up around it. In my opinion, the things taught here should be taught in schools so we can all benefit from a young age. I think all of us on the course can agree, we wish we’d found this years ago."

"This programme has been brilliant in so many ways. It was more PQ [Positive Intelligence] focused than I expected but that was a good thing. Even though I’ve done PQ before I definitely benefited from doing more of it. I am much more conscious about how I spend my time and energy. I realised that I am more able to play now and more easily detach myself from my phone. This is a revelation for me. "
---------
"The friendship, support, understanding, insightful discussions and comradeship have been amazing. I’m in a really good place, long may it continue and when those challenges rear their ugly heads I have the tools to work on them."
--------
"The love and support within this group has been amazing. I’ve laughed and cried and shared my vulnerabilities with you all and never felt judged in any way. I felt a connection almost immediately. All very different people but the bond was made right from the start."

"MLT[Mid Life Thriving] is the best thing I have done for my mental and emotional health in a very long time and I would recommend it to anyone, aging blokes included!"
Now you understand and feel the benefits of being part of a supportive community, we welcome you to stay with us and continue your learning, building your ability to thrive with the support of all those caring, strong connections.
