Mentoring and Teaching

Supporting professionals to deepen their work on later-life transitions

One-to-one support for professionals who want to deepen their work, strengthen reflective capacity, or integrate later-life understanding into their practice.

With decades of experience — from pioneering retirement coaching in the 1980s to developing my current ThriveSpan philosophy , I help practitioners bring greater depth, clarity, and confidence to their work.
