Retirement should be rich with purpose & well-being.


A retirement coach can help you get there.

Retirement Thinking helps you navigate the transition to life “after work.”

Retirement is a major milestone in your life. It’s a transition that comes with gains and losses. On the one hand, you’ll have more free time and flexibility. But you also may be saying goodbye to things that provide you with satisfaction and meaning.

What’s next for you? Helping you answer that question is why I’m here. As a certified professional retirement coach, I’ll work with you to map out your custom retirement plan – a handy guide that will help you get ready for big adjustments, renew your sense of mission in life, and keep you moving forward with joy in your step.


Practical coaching sessions that uncover your retirement “sweet spot”

Your foundation

Your retirement will be built on a bedrock of beliefs and values. What’s most important to you? Is retirement an opportunity to shift your priorities?

Your unique identity

What gets you excited? What are you most proud of? When do you feel most alive? Think through how you can continue to enjoy your passions, gifts, and abilities as you retire. 

Your health & relationships

How will your social network change? What impact will retiring have on your health? Set goals for cultivating strong, healthy relationships and habits. 

Your purpose

Do you have a sense of personal mission? What gives you meaning? Envision the impact you want to make in your retirement years.
