A Practical Approach Grounded in Real Life
Meet Donna
Donna Reid created Midlife Navigation Coaching after personally experiencing how significantly midlife can affect everyday life while continuing to manage demanding personal and professional responsibilities.
Drawing on menopause-focused education, coaching training, workplace menopause certification, and decades of leadership experience, Donna provides practical coaching for women and menopause-informed education and training for managers, leaders, and organizations.
A Personal Understanding of Midlife
Like many women, Donna experienced brain fog, increased anxiety, changes in confidence, reduced stress tolerance, and shifts in energy during midlife and the menopause transition.
These changes are not always immediately recognized as part of menopause, particularly when they affect confidence, emotional well-being, concentration, and the ability to manage pressure. Women may continue quietly compensating while leading, working, caring for others, and meeting demanding personal and professional responsibilities.
Menopause Coaching, Education & Workplace Training
Donna has completed specialized education and training in menopause coaching, women’s wellness, and menopause awareness in the workplace.
This education has deepened her understanding of the physical, cognitive, emotional, and professional experiences that can accompany midlife and menopause. It supports both her coaching work with women and her practical education and training for managers, leaders, and organizations.
Leadership Experience & Coaching Approach
Donna brings decades of leadership, communication, mentoring, organizational, and problem-solving experience developed throughout her professional career.
Her approach is calm, structured, practical, and collaborative. In her coaching work, she helps women identify what is creating difficulty, clarify what matters now, and develop realistic strategies that fit their lives. Her leadership experience also informs her work with managers and organizations navigating menopause-related workplace topics.
How Donna Supports Women
Coaching may explore confidence, habits, stress, boundaries, routines, movement, nourishment, organization, decision fatigue, and practical systems for everyday life.
Donna helps clients better understand what may be affecting them, identify realistic priorities, and develop practical ways to move forward with greater confidence and self-trust.
Supporting Managers and Organizations
Donna also provides menopause-informed education and training for managers, leaders, teams, and organizations.
Her workplace sessions are designed to build practical understanding of menopause, its possible effects at work, and the role managers and organizations can play in creating more informed and supportive workplace cultures. The focus is on awareness, education, and practical guidance.
