The Chrysalis: 5 C's of Becoming Her (virtual)
$300.00

You are not quite the crone, yet also not the maiden or mother, welcome to the in-between where you will be honored for who you are becoming.

Like a caterpillar transforming into a butterfly, we go inward to expand outward.

The 5 Cs are your guides.

Connection - we tap into your higher self and who you want to become as our starting point

Cleansing - we energetically clear what may be holding you back

Curating - we decide what gets created and how to help the body sustain this version of yourself

Calibrating - we check-in, what still needs to shift and change

Claiming - you get to be it

You are unique. This is not linear work, but this work will be your own.

How It Works

  • 1:1 private coaching

  • 2, 50-minute sessions (Zoom) per month

  • 3-month minimum (6 sessions)

  • $300 per month

If you feel on the verge of becoming, let’s talk!

You don’t need to be sure. You just need to recognize yourself here.

  • You’re ready for something to shift

  • You feel the pull of the in-between

  • You want support to help you move forward

The first step is simple. If we have not met or talked before, let’s chat. Email me and we will connect. erin@pauseandalign.com

This work is 100% virtual over Zoom.

Midlife is Magic - women's gathering (in person)
$22.00

Feel Like You Need a Reset… But Don’t Want Another “Event”?

This is a simple, in-person gathering for perimenopause plus women who are craving:

  • real connection

  • space to breathe

  • and a moment to just be themselves again

No pressure. No small talk. No pretending.

What This Is

Every other month, we gather in Winston-Salem for 2 hours to:

  • slow down

  • reconnect with ourselves

  • and have honest, real conversation with other women who get it

You don’t need to prepare anything.
You don’t need to have anything figured out.

You just show up.

What We’ll Do

  • Gentle breathwork + short meditation to help you land

  • Space to reflect on what’s actually going on in your life

  • Real conversation (not surface-level) with other women in the same season

This isn’t about fixing anything.

It’s about finally having space to hear yourself again.

Why Women Come

Because they’re tired of:

  • holding it all together

  • feeling disconnected from themselves

  • going through this season alone

And they want:

  • connection that feels real

  • space that feels safe

  • and a way to feel like themselves again

Come As You Are

You don’t need to be “spiritual”
You don’t need to be outgoing
You don’t need to know anyone

If you’ve been thinking:

“I need something like this…”

This is that.

Details

In person – Winston-Salem (address provided after registration, free parking)
2 hours; 1pm - 3pm
Every other month (6/20, 8/15, 10/17, 12/19)

Save Your Spot

Spots are intentionally limited to keep the space intimate. $22 per session.

Comments from recent participants:

“Though I walked in with some mild trepidation, I walked out feeling grounded, seen and heard. Not just in conversation but seen and heard in the challenging, ugly and scary stuff.”

“It is two hours to bring yourself back to yourself. You will feel calmer, more resilient and more seen. Let yourself be held by these two hours and see what comes of it.”
