Making Sense of Midlife

Dr. Lisa Petty started her career in as a holistic nutritionist and health researcher, and quickly became recognized internationally as a speaker, journalist, award-winning author and media health expert. After several years working with women who struggled to follow through on their health goals, Lisa returned to university to study the social and cultural influences on health behaviour. She earned a PhD for her research on how midlife women experience self-care in the face of the social pressures on them to be perfect in every facet of their lives. Lisa now helps midlife women navigate the “rude awakenings” that happen at midlife so they can create the life they really want. She is the founder of the Midlife Alchemy transformation program for women.
