Compassionate coaching for midlife women navigating grief, change and rediscovery
Are You Feeling:
Guiding, Supporting and Illuminating the Way
Life in midlife often comes with changes we never expected-and losses we didn’t see coming. You may not be fresh in the throes of grief, but somewhere along the way, you stopped recognising the life you’re living.
I’m Christine Walker, Owner of The Happy Life Formula, a women’s wellness coach, holistic therapist, and grief guide. I specialise in helping midlife women like you find their way forward after loss- gently and purposefully.
Whether it’s the emotional weight of widowhood, the silence of an empty nest, the ripple of a divorce, or the identity shifts that follow menopause, loss of career or illness- you deserve to be supported, seen and gently guided home to yourself.
Here, you’re invited to pause, reflect and begin shaping a life that honours your growth, your story so that you can move forward in a way that feels right for you.
Having navigated my own experiences with loss, I understand how challenging it can be to move forward. I’m here to partner with you, supporting you physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually as you repurpose your life and find renewal. Together, we’ll illuminate the path to a happier, healthier you.
Which path supports you best after loss – coaching or counselling?
As a midlife woman (40–65), you’ve likely experienced significant loss—whether through bereavement, serious illness, divorce, menopause, career changes, infertility, or the slow grief of caring for a loved one with a life-limiting condition. These transitions often bring sadness, overwhelm, and a loss of purpose or identity.
Grief is personal, and you may be wondering whether coaching or counselling is the right support for you. Both offer valuable guidance, but focus differently—counselling often explores the past, while coaching helps you move forward.
With over 30 years of combined experience in holistic therapy, clinical hypnotherapy, and women’s wellness coaching—alongside my own lived experience—I offer an integrative, compassionate approach to help you navigate the emotional challenges and repurpose your life after loss.

‘Renewal After Loss’
Loss isn’t only about death – it can take many forms, such as divorce, menopause, health diagnoses, career shifts, empty nest syndrome and much more.
Each transition brings change and with change often comes grief. Understanding Your Loss Grief is not limited to bereavement – it can arise from any major life change. You may experience sadness, anger, anxiety, relief, or a sense of identity loss. All of these emotions are valid. Acknowledging and processing them is key to healing and moving forward in a way that honours both your past and your future.

‘Ways to Work With Me’
You don’t have to navigate this journey alone. If you're ready to move forward, reclaim your energy, and rediscover joy, I’m here to support you. All change starts with a thought, then a feeling, then an action…
The Blossom Model
My 1-2-1 support work follows a holistic (mind-body-spirit) approach and uses the analogy of a garden, hence the title, ‘The Blossoming Model’
This model symbolises the stages of growth and renewal after loss, the programs are inspired by the life cycle of a flower: Seed, Grow and Bloom.
All programs are client-centred, flexible and tailored to individual needs
FREE Community
Sharing your experiences in a like-minded community – a safe and supportive space – allows for emotional release, reduces feelings of loneliness & overwhelm and fosters healing, resilience and a sense of belonging.
This can help you navigate your grief with greater strength and hope, encouraging you to learn coping strategies as you move forward.
Events
Grief can feel isolating, but shared experiences in a supportive space can offer connection and renewal.
Holistic dedicated events can provide a safe environment for you to process your emotions, gain new perspectives and rebuild your confidence and through holistic guided practices and meaningful conversations, you can find comfort, resilience, hope and healing.
