Health Coaching for Midlife Women

Personalized, nurse-led support that honors your capacity and helps you feel like yourself again—rooted in evidence, delivered with heart

Midlife Moxie Reset

12 Weeks of Clarity & Support

Feeling exhausted, foggy, wired-but-tired, or just not like yourself?
You’re not broken — you’re in midlife, and your body is asking for a different kind of support.

High-support, nurse-led coaching helps women 40–58 move from confusion and overwhelm to clarity, energy, and confidence

This is for you if you’re:

  • You're exhausted, foggy, reactive, or overwhelmed—and can't tell if it's hormones, stress, or something else

  • Your body feels unfamiliar and your emotions feel unpredictable

  • You've been told "your labs are fine" or "this is just aging," yet you still feel off

  • You've tried many things and some helped for a while, but nothing felt sustainable

  • You're ready for support that meets you where you are—not another thing you feel like you're failing at

Welcome

Hi, I'm Gail Rothstein, MSN, RN and women's health coach.

With over 18 years of clinical nursing experience and a Master of Science in Nursing with a focus on Family Practice, I've met countless women who leave medical appointments still searching for clarity, support, and time to truly understand their bodies—especially in midlife.

I created The Well Woman Connection to offer something different:

  • Moving beyond symptom checklists to explore deeper patterns and contributing factors

  • Combining clinical knowledge with coaching support and personalized guidance

  • Helping you reclaim energy, confidence, and connection to your body

You deserve to feel heard, understood, and empowered.

Together, we'll navigate midlife changes so you can embrace this chapter with strength, clarity, and positivity.

My approach is different: This isn't about doing more or being perfect. It's about understanding what's happening, building trust with your changing body, and creating practices you can actually sustain. We honor your capacity, normalize hard weeks, and adjust as we go.

12 Weeks of Personalized Support

By the end of 12 weeks, most women:

  • Understand what's happening in their body and why symptoms make sense

  • Have tools and practices that support their unique patterns

  • Feel more confident navigating healthcare and making decisions

  • Know what works for THEIR body (not generic "shoulds")

  • Feel less alone and more supported through this transition

  • Have a personalized foundation they can continue building on

 

Timeline: Many women notice early shifts in Weeks 2-4 (better sleep routines, clearer understanding, more stability). Deeper emotional and identity work often emerges in Weeks 8-12. Progress is personal and non-linear—we work with YOUR timeline.

 

This program is coaching and education, not crisis or emergency care—best alongside your GP or specialist. 

 

This program works best if you:

Are willing to slow down and notice patterns (not looking for quick fixes)
Want to understand what's happening (not just eliminate symptoms overnight)
Are open to working with your healthcare team (not replacing medical care)
Can commit to regular sessions and small experiments between them

 

This might not be right if you:

Need crisis or mental health support (therapy is more appropriate)
Want guaranteed symptom elimination in 12 weeks
Are looking for someone to replace medical care or make treatment decisions

Throughout our 12 weeks, we draw from:
(Sessions are personalized and responsive—we focus on what you need, when you need it)

  • Sleep, stress, and mood management

  • Nutrition, gut health, and sustainable movement

  • Hormone & HRT clarity, options, and symptom support

  • Pelvic, sexual, and skin health

  • Cognitive and emotional wellbeing

  • Boundaries, identity work, and rebuilding self-trust

This structure provides a proven framework while remaining flexible to your unique situation, capacity, and readiness.

Scope of practice: As a nurse-coach, I provide education, support, and coaching—not medical diagnosis or treatment. I work alongside (not instead of) your healthcare providers. Medical decisions remain between you and your doctor. This program works best alongside ongoing GP care.

Group Coaching
Midlife Moxie Collective

Because midlife feels lighter when we walk it together.

The Midlife Moxie Collective is an 8-week small-group coaching program for women navigating perimenopause and post-menopause. It combines evidence-based education, practical strategies, and genuine connection with other women who get it.
Perfect for women who want expert guidance and genuine connection without the intensity of weekly 1:1 sessions.​
 

You'll gain:

  • Understanding your body, hormones, and nervous system

  • Practical tools for sleep, energy, and mood stability

  • Sustainable nutrition and movement practices for midlife bodies

  • Support for setting boundaries and reclaiming vitality

  • Connection with a supportive group of women who get it

  • Reassurance that what you're experiencing makes sense

 

We meet live on Zoom in small groups of 6–8 women, with time for learning, reflection, and discussion. Sessions support women at different stages of midlife — whether you’re still cycling, newly post-menopause, or somewhere in between.

 

You don't need to "know where you fit" to belong here.​

 

The Collective launches mid-2026.​

I'm currently preparing to move from New Zealand to Arizona in April, and I want to give this inaugural program the focused energy it deserves. Rather than launching during a major transition, I'm waiting until I'm settled so the first cohort receives my full attention.​

 

Join the Waitlist to be the first to know when enrollment opens.​​​ 

 

If you want more personalized, in-depth support now, the Midlife Moxie Reset (12-week 1:1 coaching) may be a better fit. Sessions are held via Zoom regardless of location — book a free Midlife Clarity Call to explore if it's right for you.

How I Can Support You in Midlife & Menopause

You're struggling with:

 

  • Waking up tired despite a full night's sleep — or 3 a.m. wake-ups that leave you wired

  • Mood swings, brain fog, or constant overwhelm

  • Weight gain, joint stiffness, hot flushes, and fatigue that won't shift

  • Pelvic health changes, vaginal dryness, or skin concerns you're not sure how to address

Here's how I help:

 

Together, we explore what may be contributing to your symptoms — things like hormones, nervous system load, daily routines, and stress — and create a clear, science-informed support plan tailored to your body and stage of life.

When helpful, we also talk about questions to bring to your GP or specialist so you can feel more confident and prepared in those conversations.

You'll get practical strategies for sleep, energy, mood stability, nutrition, movement, and pelvic health that actually work for midlife bodies — not generic advice that ignores what's really happening for you.

You're not imagining it — and you don't have to navigate midlife alone.

Many women feel more rested, clear-headed, and at home in their bodies within a few months.
