Hi, I'm Mel Hansen—The Midlife Muse

For over 16 years, I've guided high-achieving women through the transitions that change everything—motherhood and menopause. And at 44, I'm walking this path right alongside you.

Women are often surprised when they learn my age—I look younger than my years. But my body knows exactly where I am. I'm navigating the hormonal shifts, the nervous system recalibration, the deep questions that come with this season. The difference? I've spent nearly two decades learning how to thrive through it, not just survive it.

For years, I watched women do everything "right"—eating clean, exercising consistently, taking all the supplements—and still feel terrible. Exhausted. Anxious. Bloated. Disconnected from their bodies.

They thought they were failing. I thought I was missing something.

Turns out, we both were.

The missing piece? The nervous system.

When your body feels unsafe—chronically stressed, hypervigilant, braced for the next crisis—no amount of green smoothies or weight training will create lasting change. Your nervous system overrides everything.

That realisation changed how I work with every single client.
