THE MIDLIFE METHOD
STRONG. DYNAMIC. ALIVE.
Midlife doesn't have to be a time to slow down!
It's an opportunity to reconnect with your body, rediscover your strength and feel more ALIVE than ever.
The Midlife Method is a unique approach to strength and movement for women in their PRIME. Blending easy to follow, fascial releasing manoeuvres and natural flowing movements with dynamic strength training and flexibility work, each 60-minute class takes you on a journey from gentle awakening to uplifting movement and strength, before returning to calm. Set to the SOUNDTRACK of our era, it's movement that feels different - energising, empowering and designed to help you feel strong, mobile and connected to yourself.
​
Because movement has no expiry date.
What is it?
This is more than a class.
The Midlife Method is a movement revolution! A fresh approach to movement combining fascia release, mobility, dynamic strength and deep stretch. We'll build from gentle movement to an uplifting crescendo, then return to calm. All set to the soundtrack of our era — think 80s anthems, 90s dance and Noughties favourites. But this is about more than exercise. It's a community of women coming together to rediscover their strength, their spirit and their ALIVE.
When and where is it?
The Midlife Method is coming to Totnes and South Devon. Expect the most fun sixty minutes of you week - feel-great movement, strength, and seriously good music, with morning and evening classes to fit around the lives of busy women, balancing their hectic lives. Whether you're starting your day with energy or shaking off the stresses of a busy one, this is your time to move, reconnect (with yourself, and other lovely women) and feel totally alive. Dates, times and locations coming soon.

Is it for me?
I like to say, if you can get down and up from the floor with relative ease, you can come!!. Whether you're a regular exerciser or haven't moved in years, this class is for women who want to feel ALIVE in their PRIME. Boost your energy, confidence and connection with your body. Feel stronger, fitter and more like yourself again. Expect challenge but without pressure, with achievable movement and a SOUNDTRACK you'll love. No designer lycra, no judgement. Wear what feels comfy. Come as you are. It's not about how you look - it's about how you feel.
"If it excites you and scares you at the same time, it might just be a good thing to try."
WHY I CREATED THE MIDLIFE METHOD
(BESIDES ADORING THE MUSIC OF OUR GENERATIONS)
For nearly 30 years, I've been helping women feel better, feel healthier and, most importantly, enjoy exercise rather than endure it. It's my passion, my world, and I've been lucky enough to work with thousands of women all over the world. I've listened, learned and gathered a wealth of experience and qualifications along the way. But my own midlife journey has changed the way I see movement, too. My body feels different, it looks different, and what it needs from me has changed. I've spent time exploring, learning and accepting this new chapter of being a woman.
​
I no longer want endless HIIT sessions or boring weights classes. I want to release tension, keep my spine mobile, build strength to support my bones and muscles, and look after my nervous system. I want to challenge myself, have fun, sing along to great music and leave feeling ALIVE — but also calm, grounded and connected. The Midlife Method brings together nearly 30 years of experience, my professional knowledge and my own journey as a woman. It's movement with purpose, but without the pressure.
​
We are women in our PRIME. We're not slowing down. We're learning to be strong, inside and out, and to embrace this next chapter with energy, confidence and wisdom. I want you to feel as EMPOWERED as I do in my life
And I can't wait to share it with you.
Hello!
I'm Natalie, and I am the founder of The Midlife Method a qualified Freedom from Self Sabotage Coach, yoga and pilates teacher, holistic nutritionist and group/personal fitness trainer. Oh..... and I have been transforming women's lives for nearly 30 years!
​​
But more importantly, I am a woman with curves, flaws, hormones (a little less these days), and a self-sabotage story of my own that so many of you out there will relate to.
I am qualified both in study, and through personal experience of practicing what I preach, as well as working with, and continuing to learn from the wonderful women I am honoured to help in my work as a coach.
​​
I have lived and taught all over the world, including the UK, Australia, UAE, Spain, the Channel Islands and now finally back to the UK/Devon where I teach, coach and educate through classes and in the near future, retreats.
​
I LOVE my job, and I LOVE working with women from all walks of life, who are ready to make change. So get in touch for a chat, and find out which sessions would suit you and how you can start working with me!
Retreats
/riˈtri:t/
Do you love being part of something greater than just yourself? Part of a group of others on a similar journey to you?
​
Read on to see how Clare and I run our retreats on the beautiful island of Alderney. I also plan to run The Midlife Method retreats here in South Devon. More news on that coming soon!!
Join me, my wonderful partner in holistic wellness Clare Evans, and a small group of women with the same ultimate goal, on one of our luxuriously healing retreats.
​​
You will feel a wonderful sense of both self and group release as you participate in a diverse range of Yoga and Pilates sessions and learn new wellness tricks in our relaxed talks on all manner of holistic subjects. ​
​
Our retreats take place on the beautiful island of Alderney in the Channel Islands. Staying at one of the beautiful island hotels or in your own home, you will find the food outstanding and the class/talks itinerary both energising and relaxing. We also take gentle walks along the cliffs full of wild flowers, do Tai Chi on the beach at sunrise, Meditate surrounded by beautiful birdsong (you might see a Puffin or a Gannet) and dip ourselves into the refreshing sea at one of the gorgeous sweeping bays (yes we have a few to choose from), then pop into the mobile sauna to warm up!!

Yoga and Pilates
Forget perfect poses and specialist clothing! Yoga and pilates are just not about that at all. Getting in great shape and forming a wonderfully supportive group of friends, are just accidental side-effects of an otherwise deeply restorative, mentally nourishing practice that will benefit you in SO many ways.
​
I love yoga and pilates for the diverse way that they awaken, challenge and heal people from all walks of life, age groups and ALL abilities.
​
My teaching style is warm, friendly and informative... my soul smiles deeply when I practice, but it SINGS when I teach as I see you relax and grow as a person.
