Coaching for women 40+ navigating change
Change Your Thoughts, Transform Your Life
Standing at a crossroads in your personal, professional, or emotional life?
The years after 40 often bring change we didn't plan for in our work, our health, our families, and in how we see ourselves. Even the strongest among us can sometimes feel uncertain, overwhelmed, or unsure of the way forward. You don't have to work it out alone.
Does any of this feel familiar?
Most of the women I work with are capable, experienced and used to holding everything together. What brings them to coaching is usually a moment like one of these.
A career crossroads
A new leadership role, a plateau, or the question of what you want the next chapter of your work to be.
Shifts at home
Children leaving, caring for parents, a relationship that is changing, and your role changing with it.
Simply feeling stuck
A quiet sense that something needs to change, without yet knowing what or where to begin.
I believe that you have within you the strength and resources not just to navigate life's challenges, but to grow through them and move forward with greater clarity and confidence.
As a professional coach, I provide a supportive and thought-provoking space to help you gain greater self-awareness, explore what may be holding you back, recognize your strengths, and discover the way forward that feels right for you.

Meet Catherine
I know what it is to face the unexpected.
My journey into coaching was not something I had planned. With a background in pharmacy and an MBA, much of my professional journey has been dedicated to training and helping people develop and grow. My path took a more personal turn when I was diagnosed with a Giant Cell Tumor, bringing with it a frightening cancer scare and a period of uncertainty.
While undergoing surgery and dealing with the uncertainty surrounding the diagnosis, I realized how much I needed emotional support. This experience led me to explore NLP and coaching, initially as a way to help myself navigate what I was going through.
What began as a personal journey soon became a passion. Friends and colleagues started turning to me for support, and I discovered how meaningful it was to help people understand themselves, see situations differently, and find their own way forward.
I went on to pursue professional training in life, executive, and cancer coaching, eventually transitioning from the pharmaceutical industry to coaching, training, and facilitation. Today, I work with women and professionals who want to create meaningful change in their lives, whether they are navigating personal challenges, professional transitions, leadership challenges, or simply feeling stuck and unsure of what comes next.

In their words
“Katie was like a divine messenger to me during my cancer journey. Supportive, caring, comforting, she helped me see the light at the end of the tunnel, clarify my thoughts to move forward and manage the side effects of the treatment.”
“She taught me the tools to overcome the barriers that were blocking my healing mentally and emotionally. Always professional & she went above & beyond her session times to see me through. I transformed myself through the strategies she taught me & along with her kindness, love, non-judgemental attitude & her passion to help others.”
“My experience by doing coaching was a wonderful experience where I have gotten into the root of my problem. I am leaving the session relieved and ready to continue my life. Thank you, Katie.”
“She is flexible in the way that she can deal with students who have different learning needs and require different training techniques. She is a dedicated trainer and although the training ended successfully, she has been a constant source of help and knowledge whenever I needed it.”
“Catherine's coaching was invigorating and full of insight. She went the extra mile to make a difference. She has an uplifting way of instilling belief in oneself.”
“Catherine Chikhani is one of those unique instructors who use real-life situations in her trainings. If I was stuck on an assignment, Catherine would work with me, as a team, trying to understand where the difficulty is coming from and work on it. That itself, taught me a new skill in how to resolve obstacles and difficult situations.”
