About Authentic Women
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. I've carried shame I didn't earn, stayed quiet when I should have spoken, and spent years holding everything together for everyone else while quietly losing myself. That's not a case study. That's my life. And it's why I understand what these women are actually living.
As a Clinical Hypnotherapist, Rapid Transformational Therapist (RTT), NLP Life Coach, and trauma-informed guide, I blend practical tools with deep emotional support. I help women reconnect with themselves, reclaim their voice, and move forward with clarity — at their own pace. I'm also an Author, Artist, and Musician. My books carry the same thread as this work: honest, grounded, written for the woman who has read everything and still feels stuck.
My role is to offer a calm, supportive space where you can begin again. No pressure. No performance. Come as you are.
What this work is built on
Three things that never change.
Change without force
Healing doesn't have to be hard. Gentle, steady progress is real progress — and it tends to last longer than anything pushed into place.
Come as you are
There is no version of yourself you need to perform here. We start from where you actually are — not where you think you should be.
Rooted in lived experience
This work comes from forty years of personal truth, not just professional training. That difference matters — and you'll feel it.
