Health Coaching for Midlife Women
Navigating Midlife & Menopause Together: Science, Support, & Real Solutions—Rooted in Evidence, Delivered with Heart
"Sleep better, think clearer, feel more like yourself again."
Welcome
Welcome to The Well Woman Connection. I’m Gail Rothstein, founder and your dedicated women’s health and well-being coach. Revised version:
As a registered nurse with a background in labor and delivery, advanced training as a Family Nurse Practitioner, and years of clinical experience, I’ve met many women who leave their appointments still searching for more time, clarity, and support—especially during the often-challenging midlife transition.
I created this space to offer something different. Here, we move beyond symptom checklists to explore the deeper causes of what you’re experiencing. Combining clinical expertise with empathy and personalized care, I’m passionate about helping you reclaim your energy, confidence, and connection to your body.
You deserve to feel heard, understood, and empowered to take charge of your health. No matter where you are in your journey through menopause and beyond, this space is designed just for you—to provide expert guidance, honest conversations, and real tools to help you feel vibrant and confident.
I’m so glad you’re here and invite you to explore, ask questions, and connect. Together, we’ll navigate the changes of midlife so you can embrace this chapter with strength and positivity.
I’m here to walk alongside you every step of the way.

Together, we'll explore:
-
What you've been experiencing
-
What you'd like to change, understand, or improve
-
Whether we're a good fit to work together — and what that could look like
By the end, you'll have a clearer sense of what's possible and what kind of support could help you feel more like yourself again.
It's your time to pause, be heard, and take the first gentle step toward feeling well in midlife.

“Gail has been an amazing coach. We have worked together over the last six months. She is incredibly supportive, has a wealth of knowledge, and if she doesn't know the answer, she goes out of her way to find the information required. Gail has been a fundamental support for me during a challenging period of my life. Her kindness, compassion, and caring nature helped me expand my toolbox of coping skills.

How I Can Support You in Midlife & Menopause
Did you know all of these symptoms and more can occur during the midlife stage for women? If you're dealing with these changes, or just curious to learn more, why not book a free call? Let's chat about what's going on and see if my program could be the right fit for you!
Many midlife women tell me they’re doing ‘all the right things’ and still feel exhausted, foggy, or unlike themselves—if that’s you, you’re in the right place.
Energy & Sleep
-
You wake up tired, even after a “full” night in bed.
-
Night sweats or 3 a.m. wake-ups leave you wired, exhausted, or both.
-
Coffee gets you through the day, but your energy still crashes hard by late afternoon.
How I help with energy & sleep
-
We look at hormones, lifestyle, and nervous system load together—not just “sleep hygiene”—so you understand what’s really driving your fatigue.
-
You get a simple, science-informed plan to stabilise energy, improve sleep quality, and feel more steady through your day
Mood & Brain Fog
-
Your mood can swing from snappy or weepy to flat and “over it” in the same day.
-
You lose words mid-sentence or walk into a room and forget why you’re there.
-
Anxiety, irritability, or a constant feeling of overwhelm are becoming your new normal.
How I help with mood & brain fog
-
We map your stress, hormones, and habits so mood swings and fog make sense instead of feeling random or “all in your head.”
-
You learn practical tools to calm your nervous system, support your brain, and feel more clear, centred, and in control.
Body Changes
-
Weight is creeping up (especially around your middle) despite “nothing changing.”
-
Your joints feel stiff, your muscles ache, or exercise wipes you out instead of giving you energy.
-
Hot flushes, palpitations, or changes in periods are making you second-guess what’s “normal” now.
How I help with body changes
-
We shift away from punishing diets and workouts toward midlife‑appropriate nutrition, movement, and recovery.
-
You get realistic, sustainable strategies to support weight, strength, and metabolic health in this season—not in your 20s body.
Pelvic, Sexual & Skin Health
-
Vaginal dryness, discomfort with sex, or urinary leaks are quietly affecting your confidence.
-
Your skin feels drier, itchier, or more reactive than it used to.
-
You miss feeling comfortable—and at home—in your own body.
How I help with pelvic, sexual & skin health
-
We talk openly (and without embarrassment) about symptoms many women keep quiet, and review both medical and lifestyle options.
-
You leave with questions to take to your GP or specialist, plus everyday actions and products that can make intimacy and comfort easier again.
You’re not imagining it—and you don’t have to figure this out alone.
Women I work with often describe feeling more rested, clearer, and more at home in their bodies within a few months of focused support—without perfection or extreme plans.
