Something has you feeling stuck.

Your calendar is jam-packed.

You’re juggling a never-ending checklist, responsibilities, and expectations while balancing your career, household, the quiet and not-so-quiet changes of midlife (like perimenopause) that no one really warned you about.

It’s all becoming too heavy — now you’re starting to feel it, both emotionally and physically.

Does it feel like you’re the one that others rely on?


You wear multiple hats — as a professional, mother, daughter, partner, and caregiver.

You’re feeling anxious and emotionally overwhelmed. All of this is becoming too heavy.

Let’s reconnect you with the version of yourself that isn’t running on empty.

Hi, I’m gail.

I’m here to help women, like you, navigate the quiet (and not-so-quiet) struggles of midlife — including anxiety, life transitions, and perimenopause.

Too many women feel like they should be able to “handle it all” — careers, families, caregiving, and along with all the changes during midlife. The truth? You were never meant to carry so much without support.

I created Seaside to provide a space for women to feel seen, heard, and supported — and move forward with practical tools for everyday life.

Sessions at Seaside are collaborative, solution-focused, and tailored to your personal goals so that you can build coping skills, reduce your stress level, and feel more like yourself again.
