Attention: Women in Midlife

Are You Ready to Transform Your Midlife Journey?

Do you feel like your life is shifting in ways you never expected? What if instead of feeling overwhelmed, you could navigate this transformative time with confidence and flourish?​

 

If You're Here, You Might Be Experiencing:

- Looking in the mirror and barely recognizing the woman looking back

- Feeling disconnected from your sensual self as your body changes

- Missing the deep connection in your relationships

- Difficulty staying present during sex

- Carrying unspoken emotions about midlife changes

- Wanting to discuss sensitive topics but lacking the language

- Finding your usual ways of being intimate no longer work

- You have difficulty or pain with intercourse

- Feeling too exhausted to work on relationships, yet yearning for connection

- Thinking your struggles are too personal to share

- Knowing something needs to change but unsure where to start

 

You Are Not Alone

I know firsthand what you're experiencing. When perimenopause arrived in my life, it felt like standing in a house where all the familiar rooms had suddenly rearranged themselves. Hot flashes disrupted my days, depression colored my world grey, and brain fog challenged my sharp mind - all while raising four daughters and nurturing a marriage of almost three decades. But what I discovered - and what I want to share with you - is that this challenging time can become an opportunity to redesign and rebuild your life into something even more beautiful.

 

Imagine What's Possible For You

- Loving and celebrating the woman in your mirror

- Feeling deeply worthy of love and pleasure

- Embracing your changing body with appreciation

- Expressing your needs with clarity and confidence

- Finding joy in both life's grand moments and quiet minutes

- Creating authentic connections with yourself and others

- Trusting your intuition to guide you

- Feeling vibrantly alive and playful

- Navigating changes with grace and wisdom

Meet Liz Kessler

Hi, I'm Liz! My journey to become an Intimacy and Relationship Coach began at the University of Pennsylvania, where my thesis on "Sex and Advertising" sparked my passion for understanding how cultural messages shape our views about relationships, sex, and intimacy.

After working at Planned Parenthood and becoming certified as a sexual health educator through the University of Michigan Graduate School of Social Work, I expanded my expertise through certifications in Embodied Intimacy and Relationship Coaching, Somatic Trauma Therapy, Sex Coaching, and Positive Psychology. I bring a healing-centered approach by "taking the boo out of taboo," creating safe spaces where typically unspoken and uncomfortable subjects can be explored with warmth and understanding.

Through navigating my own transformation through perimenopause and menopause while raising four daughters and nurturing a 30-year marriage, I've developed a deep, authentic understanding of what it means to flourish in midlife.

Whether you're navigating physical changes, seeking deeper connection, or ready to embrace pleasure as a pathway to healing, I meet you exactly where you are. Through one-on-one coaching, couples sessions, coaching programs, workshops, support groups, and my popular "Tea with Liz" gatherings, I help women discover that midlife isn't about managing decline – it's an invitation to flourish.

Because you deserve to feel vibrant, connected, and fully alive at every stage of life.

What I Do

As an Intimacy and Relationship Coach, I support people through talk-only coaching that guides them through the transformative years of midlife, incorporating somatic (the body is the subconscious of the mind) awareness, sexual health education, and positive psychology. My approach helps you connect with your body's wisdom and explore transformation through conversation, without any physical touch or demonstrations. My work focuses on helping individuals and couples nourish emotional, physical, intellectual, sexual, energetic, and spiritual connections.

I'm Here to Help

If you're trying to navigate the choppy waters of perimenopause and menopause, striving to reconnect with your sensual self, or looking to deepen the relationship with your partner, you're not alone. My practice is a sanctuary for those dealing with shifting desires, relationship dynamics, and the quest for closer connection and communication. I support clients from diverse backgrounds, ensuring a trauma-informed, empathetic approach tailored to support each individual's journey from healing to flourishing.
