About Maureen
Hi, I'm Maureen Schlachter.
I help women over 40 rebuild their lives after emotional upheaval, loss, trauma, or financial fear. Not by pushing harder or fixing what's broken. By finding the root of what's holding you in place — and addressing it there.
My work is rooted in the belief that change does not require force. Healing can happen gently, steadily, in a way that feels safe for your nervous system. I know this because I've lived it, not just studied it.
As a Clinical Hypnotherapist, Rapid Transformational Therapist (RTT), NLP Life Coach, and trauma-informed guide, I blend practical tools with real emotional support. I help women reconnect with themselves, reclaim their voice, and move forward with clarity — at their own pace.
I also write. My books carry the same thread — honest, grounded, written for the woman who has read all the books and still feels stuck. Because sometimes the missing piece isn't more information. It's being truly seen.

Inside you'll find ongoing coaching, shared resources, and a group of women who understand without needing the full backstory. A free tier is available. Come in and see whether it feels like home.
In Their Words
What these women found on the other side.
"Maureen helped me to reframe and rewire feelings I had associated with certain events. When I was finished I felt like a huge weight had been lifted off me. Knowing the root and addressing it has made everything so much clearer."
"Maureen was incredibly patient with me and took her time to peel back layer upon layer, eventually revealing one true cause of my specific problem. A bit like the onion effect — very thorough, she left no stone unturned."
"Maureen helped me with something that had been bothering me in the background. I felt lighter, like a big weight had been removed from my shoulders. Working with Maureen is a great investment — in your best investment, yourself."
"Working with Maureen helped me to remember the woman I was before all the negative beliefs and trauma transformed the opinion I had of myself. Your life will change — because you change the way you look at the world and yourself."
