Midlife Mentoring & Somatic Coaching for Women

The Roots & Wings 1-on-1 Mentorship

You’ve spent decades being capable, reliable, and attuned to everyone else.

Now your body, your roles, and your inner landscape are changing, and the ways you once moved through life no longer fit.

This is not a personal failure. It is a threshold.

Roots & Wings is a mentorship for women in midlife and menopause who are ready to stop abandoning themselves and begin living from embodied sovereignty.

This work is grounded, relational, and body-first. It integrates somatic awareness, nervous system regulation, and lived wisdom to support you through the liminal space between who you’ve been and who you are becoming.

Midlife Is Not a Problem to Fix

It Is an Initiation to Meet

Midlife and menopause are not only physical transitions. They are profound passages that ask a woman to slow down, listen inward, and release identities that no longer serve.

This is often the season when:

  • The body speaks more clearly than the mind
  • Old coping strategies stop working
  • Roles like caretaker, fixer, or emotional glue begin to unravel
  • A quiet knowing arises that something deeper is calling

Roots & Wings offers a steady, compassionate container to meet this moment without rushing it or bypassing it. Together, we work at the level of body, nervous system, psyche, and soul, so change unfolds with safety, clarity, and integrity.

This mentorship is about remembering who you are beneath the roles and expectations you’ve outgrown, and learning how to live from that place going forward.

The Structure of the Roots & Wings Mentorship

  • Duration: 3 months, 6 months or 12 months
  • Format: One-on-one private mentorship
  • Session Length: 90 minutes
  • Session Cadence: Every other week
  • Location: Boulder, CO or online

This bi-weekly rhythm creates spaciousness. It allows insight to land, nervous system patterns to shift, and embodied awareness to integrate into daily life rather than overwhelm it.

Between sessions, you’ll receive:

  • Simple, personalized integration practices
  • Reflective prompts to support insight and embodiment
  • Supportive email and text check-ins, so you’re not holding everything alone between sessions
  • Two weekly yoga classes, included to anchor the work in your body and nervous system

This container supports both grounding and growth, allowing transformation to unfold gently and sustainably.

What We Work With in Midlife Mentoring

While each journey is unique, common areas of focus include:

  • Nervous system regulation and stress resilience
  • Navigating menopause and bodily change
  • Boundaries and relational clarity
  • Identity transitions and role shifts
  • Emotional overwhelm or numbness
  • Reclaiming intuition and inner authority
  • Grief for what has been lost and space for what is emerging
  • Embodied decision-making and direction

We move at a pace your system can integrate. Nothing is forced. Nothing is bypassed.

Who This Mentorship Is For

This work is for you if you:

  • Feel disconnected from your body after years of caretaking
  • Are emotionally overwhelmed, numb, or chronically stressed
  • Struggle with boundaries and over-giving
  • Sense you are outgrowing the life you built
  • Feel anxious about the future or unclear about your next chapter
  • Are grieving lost roles, relationships, or versions of yourself
  • Are tired of pretending you are fine
  • Want to come home to yourself in a deeper, truer way

Mentoring, Not Therapy

Roots & Wings is a mentorship and somatic coaching container, not psychotherapy.

This work focuses on:

  • Present-moment awareness
  • Nervous system capacity-building
  • Embodied sense-making
  • Forward movement rooted in safety and clarity

If you are navigating acute trauma or require clinical mental health treatment, therapy is the appropriate starting place. Many women choose to work with both a therapist and a mentor, each serving a different role.

Why Work with Alison Litchfield

Alison Litchfield brings over 30 years of experience in yoga, embodiment, and somatic education, shaped not only by professional training but by lived life.

Her path includes:

  • Navigating profound personal loss
  • The long arc of marriage and family life
  • Supporting a child through addiction
  • Unraveling patterns of codependency
  • Walking her own midlife initiation

Alison meets women not from a pedestal, but as a compassionate witness who understands both the biology of the nervous system and the tenderness of this passage.

Her presence is grounded, steady, and deeply human. This mentorship is a partnership, a place where you are met, seen, and supported as you grow into the woman you are becoming.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is midlife mentoring and somatic coaching?

Midlife mentoring and somatic coaching support women through the physical, emotional, and identity transitions of midlife by working with the body and nervous system rather than just the mind. Sessions integrate conversation with somatic awareness, breath, and embodied inquiry so insight becomes lived experience rather than intellectual understanding.

This work helps you regulate stress, clarify boundaries, and make decisions from inner authority rather than habit or obligation.

Roots & Wings is mentoring and coaching, not psychotherapy.

Therapy focuses on diagnosing and treating mental health conditions and processing past trauma. Midlife mentoring focuses on present-moment awareness, nervous system capacity, and navigating current life transitions with clarity and support.

Many women work with both a therapist and a mentor simultaneously, each serving a different role.

Menopause is often part of the conversation, but this mentorship is not limited to hormone education or symptom management.

The focus is on the whole midlife transition, including nervous system overwhelm, identity shifts, changing relationships, boundaries, and the deeper call to live differently in the second half of life.

Each 60-minute session is tailored to what is present for you.

Sessions often include:

  • Grounding and nervous system regulation at the start
  • Conversation and inquiry around current challenges or patterns 
  • Somatic practices such as breath awareness, body sensing, or gentle movement
  • Integration and reflection to support daily life


No prior experience with somatic work or yoga is required.

No. This work is grounded and practical.

While it honors intuition and inner wisdom, it is not religious or belief-based. The focus is on embodied awareness, nervous system regulation, and living with greater clarity and integrity.

Women from many backgrounds find this work supportive regardless of spiritual orientation.

Midlife Mentoring & Somatic Coaching is offered both:

  • In person in Boulder, Colorado
  • Online via private sessions


Both formats are equally effective. Many clients choose online sessions for convenience or flexibility.

Sustainable change requires time and repetition.

The 10-week structure allows:

  • Nervous system patterns to shift gradually
  • New awareness to integrate into daily life
  • Space for insight, rest, and embodiment between sessions

This pace supports depth without overwhelm.

The 10-week Roots & Wings mentorship includes:

  • Six private 60-minute one-on-one sessions
  • Two weekly yoga classes throughout the 10 weeks
  • Personalized integration practices and reflections
  • Inclusive email and text support between sessions for questions, insight, and integration support

This between-session contact is designed to support continuity and embodiment, not crisis care. Boundaries are held so the container remains steady and sustainable for both mentor and client.

If you feel a quiet pull to slow down, listen inward, and live differently, this work may be a fit.

The best next step is a consultation. This conversation allows you to share what you are navigating and, together, determine whether the Roots & Wings mentorship is the right support for you at this time.

You can begin by booking a consultation or enrolling directly if you already feel clear.

Spots are limited to ensure each client receives full presence and care.
