Helping women 40+ create simple yet powerful wellness habits for a thriving midlife.FlourishHer founder. How? Why this mattered to me?

I'm Michelle a 49 year old midlife woman and Wellness Habits Coach. I live in Canterbury with my husband Rob and our 2 teens, Sonny & Martha. I've always worked in roles where people have been at the centre of what I do...... but I'll admit I haven't always looked after my mind & body. An unbalanced diet, excess processed food and alcohol, no exercise and a smoker with no focus on my mental health. My weight was increasing and generally, I wasn't feeling great. Starting a family in my 30's prompted a couple of wellness changes, but the magic moment came for me when at 35, I started my career in Health & Wellness. I learned the key principles in what supports us to live in better health, such as; nutrition, healthy weight loss, sleep, movement and emotional wellbeing . Along with techniques on how to apply them in real life. I've been priviledged to have worked with hundreds of adults, over 1000's of hours and I've seen how small, steps and personalised support can help people thrive in their life. In short it changed my whole life. I walked my talk, explored and applied the health training/behaviour change techniques to myself and by taking one step at a time, I began to thrive in my mind & body, which is where I am today. As a midlife, perimenopausal woman, I'm fully aware of the transition our body goes through during this phase of our lives along with the challenges that may arise. It's my passion and purpose in helping women like you to thrive, feel good and live the midlife you want.

We’re getting festive ready 💪🏻 ✨

I’m so excited to be collaborating with the gorgeous, Clare from , who many of you will already know as one of our FlourishHer women, for our Christmas Wreath Making Evening 🌲.

And while there will be plenty of Christmas creativity and fizz, I wanted this evening to still feel very much like FlourishHer.

A chance to pause.
To reflect on the year we’ve shared, the highs, the lows and everything in between.
And, before December becomes filled with giving, organising and doing for everyone else, a gentle reminder to hold a little space and peace for you, too.
Then Clare will guide us in creating our own beautiful Christmas wreaths, personalised with seasonal foliage and decorations.

Soulful, gentle, uplifting… and lots of festive fun too.

Wednesday 2 December The Drapers Arms, Canterbury £55 per person £15 deposit secures your place, balance to be payed by 10 November

Spaces are 50% full already ✨
Get in touch with me directly to book your place.
With love, Michelle 🧡✨

There’s something about September.
After the fullness of summer holidays, family, changing routines, busy diaries and perhaps a little more spontaneity, things begin to settle..just a little.
And in that settling, there can be space to notice ourselves 🧡
Not what do I need to achieve next?
But maybe….
What have I been missing?
What gives me energy?
What have I been putting to one side?
What would I love a little more of in my life?
And what might it feel like to come back to me?
These are the kinds of conversations I love creating space for within FlourishHer.
And they feel particularly fitting as we head towards our next evening, Welcome Home.
A couple of hours to step out of the everyday, connect with other women and turn some of your attention back towards yourself.
I’ll also be sharing something new that I’ve been quietly creating, nervous… abit, excited … yep! Bringing together so much of what I’ve learnt through wellbeing, behaviour change, coaching and, importantly, conversations with women over the years… particularly in our FlourishHer space ✨
I can’t wait to share it with you. 🧡
Welcome Home | FlourishHer Monday 5 October | 6.30–8.30pm The Drapers Arms

WELCOME HOME’
Our next FlourishHer evening for women 40+, is coming up this Monday.

Maybe you’ve followed FlourishHer for a while.
Maybe you’ve thought, “I’d love to come to one of those evenings...”
Perhaps October is the one.

Welcome Home is an opportunity to take two hours out of everything you do for everyone else and spend some time on you.
You’ll connect with other like-minded midlife women.
We’ll explore together what it really means to flourish in this season of our lives.
I’ll be revealing something completely new that I’ve created from my work with women.
There’ll be meaningful conversations, reflection, practical tools, laughter and something for you to take away and continue using at home.
And if you’re coming alone, please do.
Lots of women do.
You won’t be alone for long, your seat is waiting 🧡

✨ WELCOME HOME✨
 Monday 5 October 6.30- 8.30pm  The Drapers Arms, Canterbury

I’d really love to welcome you.

One of my favourite things about FlourishHer isn’t actually each uplifting, inspiring, proage, midlife relevant monthly theme 🤭
It’s what happens between the gorgeous women in the room.
A conversation begins.
Someone shares something.
Another woman nods.
Someone laughs (sometimes cries) and says, “I thought it was just me!”
And we realise ( and feel) how much we have in common.
Midlife can bring so much change, in our bodies, relationships, work, confidence, priorities and what we want from life. Our inner compass re-aligns!
We don’t need to navigate all of it alone 🧡
There is something incredibly powerful and SO inspiring about being in a room with women who are curious, open and wanting to flourish too.
That’s the space I wanted FlourishHer to be when I created it.
Connection. Conversation. Reflection. Learning. Confidence, Laughter and Joy ✨🧡
And on 5 October, we’re coming together again for ‘Welcome Home’.
If you’ve been watching from the sidelines and wondering whether FlourishHer is for you...
Come and experience it 🧡 Reach out, I’d love to chat.

I’ve been quietly creating something new behind the scenes...
Something that brings together so much of what I’ve learnt through years of supporting women with wellbeing and behaviour change, my coaching work and, importantly, the conversations we’ve shared within the FlourishHer space.
It’s about how we flourish in midlife.
Not by trying harder.
Not by becoming a “new you”.
And definitely not by adding another impossible list of things we should be doing.
I could reveal it here...I’m tempted…
But really, I’d love the women who come along to our FlourishHer space to experience it first. 🧡
We’ll explore ( fave word of mine) it together through conversation, reflection and some of those wonderful FlourishHer “I hear ya” moments.
And you’ll have something to take home so the evening doesn’t simply end when you walk out of the door.
I’m really looking forward to this one
“WELCOME HOME” Monday 5 October | 6.30–8.30pm The Drapers Arms , Canterbury

You won’t be on your own for long.

Just under one week away, our CHALK and FlourishHer event.
Our connection feels so aligned.
Style might seem like it’s simply about clothes.
But underneath it can be confidence, identity, visibility and how we feel about the woman looking back at us in the mirror.

On 30 September we’re bringing all of that together.

💫 We will also be joined by our very special guests’, locally based, Arabella and Sam alongside the wonderful women at CHALK

Conversation. Style. Connection. Autumn/Winter inspiration and expert tips.
And hopefully a few moments that make us look at ourselves a little differently ✨
FlourishHer & CHALK

I’d love to ask you a gentle question today.

Which part of yourself would you like to come home to?

Your energy?
Confidence?
Creativity?
Sense of fun?
Wellbeing rituals?

The practices or things you used to make time for?
Or maybe simply feeling a little more like you again.
You don’t need to even know, it can be a feeling.
Sometimes giving ourselves the space to ask the question is where something can begin to shift✨.

This is exactly the kind of space we’ll create at our next FlourishHer ‘Welcome Home’ time away from the noise to pause, reflect, connect and perhaps rediscover something about yourself.

Let’s ignite our inner glow…together.💛

✨ Monday 5 October | 6.30–8.30pm  Arms, Canterbury

✨ Meet our second special guest... Sam

I’m totally thrilled that Sam Conscious Edit - Sam Lee-Kemp will ALSO be joining us at our upcoming FlourishHer & CHALK evening.

One of the things I really want this evening to explore is our relationship with clothes in midlife.
Not simply what should I wear? No shoulds invited!!!
But how can we make more thoughtful choices about what we buy, what we already own and what genuinely deserves a place in our wardrobes?

This is where the fabulous Sam comes in.

She’ll be bringing another perspective to our conversation around style, helping us think about our wardrobes in a more conscious and considered way.

So now our evening is really taking shape...

FlourishHer conversation + CHALK + Autumn/Winter style + Arabella + Sam + a room full of brilliant women- (drop that mike)
Ooh and did I say a little trying on too... ✨
Wednesday 30 September CHALK, Westgate-on-Sea Between 6-8.30

If you want to feel energised with great company and conversation, love clothing and style and want some amazing tips for your Autumn /Winter wardrobe, come and join us.
