An Honest Guide For Women Questioning Their Sexuality in Midlife
LGBTQ+ Coaching & Support
Welcome! I’m Anne-Marie, your guide through coming out, sexual identity transitions, the “messy middle” in between and beyond.
For almost a decade, I have guided thousands of people through coming out and sexual identity transitions. As a trained coach and an ordained minister, I bring lived experience alongside my professional training to support you on your journey.
This is about guidance without pressure or judgment. Through coaching, courses, and community, people are fully supported through questioning their sexuality or navigating the messy middle of change. This work helps untangle identity, relationships, family, faith, and divorce—without rushing decisions or forcing labels. You get guided space to explore what’s true for you.
Ultimately, this is about you getting clarity, building self-trust, and language for what you’re experiencing. You leave with courage and a grounded way forward—without doing this

Tired of Trying to Figure This Out Alone?
If you’re quietly questioning your sexuality or wondering what comes next, you’re not confused — you’re navigating something tender and unfamiliar. And doing that alone can feel overwhelming.
I know, because I’ve been there.
When I first started coming out later in life, I did what so many women do: I Googled it.
How do I come out? What are my next steps? Is there a roadmap for this?
What I found was very little that actually helped. There were no clear models, no gentle guidance, and no support that reflected my experience. Just a lot of noise — and very little clarity.
Trying to figure this out without a map was painful and isolating.
So I became the guide I couldn’t find.
As a minister, grief counselor, and professional caretaker, I chose to live my authentic life while helping other women coming out later in life find their way forward.
Today, I’ve helped thousands of people gain clarity, navigate major life transitions, explore dating and first wlw relationships, come out at their own pace, and build lives that truly fit who they are.
You don’t need to have it all figured out.
You don’t need to rush.
And you don’t need to do this alone.
Find clarity, community, and a way forward that doesn’t ask you to abandon yourself.
