Work with Maxine

Maxine Clancy created The Clearing because she knows this terrain from the inside.

The particular disorientation of midlife.

She has lived it herself having rebuilt her life at fifty, moved to Hampshire at fifty-six, watched her children leave and found herself standing in the clearing, wondering what came next. She knows what it is to feel the ground shift beneath a life you thought you understood.

The women she has sat with over years of coaching have taught her that this moment, which can feel like loss, is more often the beginning of the most important chapter.

She works with a small number of women directly each year, not a programme with modules and homework, but a relationship. Held, honest, entirely focused on you.

If you feel the pull, trust it.
