It’s In Your Nature
You’ve already lived through some of the natural human milestones: toddler, teenager, mother and protector, worker and change maker — each with predictable attributes and drives. But, now that women are living longer than ever before, there’s a new developmental milestone to wrestle with. It usually arrives between 50 and 60, and it feels different than any other time. You may be asking yourself, “How do I get the most out of this unfamiliar stage of life?”
“We no longer leap from motherhood straight into elderhood. There’s an entire expanse of feminine identity in between that is not fully understood … .” Dr. Judy Tsafrir, M.D.
Meriah Kruse helps women over 50 navigate the Renaissance Stage of Life — one of the most significant transitions you’ll ever make.
- Shed the old roles that no longer apply to you
- Tap into a reservoir of inner strength you’ve accumulated over a lifetime
- Invent the answers to your newest challenges
- Envision and create the life you actually want

Meriah has an incredible ability to listen and help sort through the complex layers of a newly emerging vision; layers that involve history, new directions, strategy... I feel in good hands with Meriah Kruse.” — Katie Bull, Kingston NY
Coaching and standing beside women in the Renaissance stage of life is Meriah Kruse’s most natural domain.

Meriah has spent decades uplifting women at every stage of Life through diverse but interconnected work at the intersection of body, mind, and spirit. Private practices in massage therapy, therapeutic bodywork and the Feldenkrais Method. As a marketing coach for solo practitioners., retreat leader, dancer and textile artist, student of neuroscience and habit change, and more recently as a Health & Wellness coach. She has worked with over 3,000 clients individually and in small groups. The Sovereign Renaissance Woman framework is her own, developed over years of study, practice, and paying close attention to how people change, thrive, and grow. This is not just a program she designed; it’s an outgrowth of her own experiences.
You’ve already lived a rich and full life.
You’ve accomplished and contributed in myriad ways. You’ve raised your children or helped raise others’, met the expectations of employers or your own enterprises, completed a thousand ToDo lists, advanced your cause, overcome obstacles, rolled with the punches, painted the town, and created your own reality.
You have decisions to make, and more maturity, wisdom and self-knowledge than you’ve ever had before.
You understand your Time on Earth is not limitless; you feel a strong urge to make the most of it.
Now you’re looking at a new period of time that’s different than anything you’ve experienced before. You’re past putting up with conditions that haven’t served you, repeating personal narratives that no longer fit. It’s time to reevaluate, open to deeper insights about who you’d like to become next.
Welcome to the Sovereign Renaissance stage of Life, and to Meriah Kruse Coaching & Retreats.

Meriah is an amazing leader in our community. She is able to get the ‘heart of the matter’ rather quickly. With her great insight and deep intuitive sense, she can help one get clarity and a better sense of direction. She helped me to get in touch with my values and my core beliefs. As a result, I was able to recognize the next ‘right step’ for me. Hiring Meriah was one of the best things I could have done. She energized me, gave me strength and a deeper vision of my purpose and mission and celebrated with me in my success. Meriah… will make a big difference in your life! The magic will start to happen with her at your side.” Rev. Diane Vego, Lexington KY

Private Coaching
Coaching with Meriah is a sustained thinking partnership — warm and rigorous, supporting your advancement and growth toward whatever matters most to you NOW. Not a program you fit yourself into, but a process that fits itself to your desires and aspirations, your priorities, your history and habits, and whatever is getting in your way.

Story Affirmations
Story Affirmations are brief but in-depth stories we craft about ourselves and then engage with frequently to remind ourselves of our own magnificence (especially when we’ve forgotten!) Using them repeatedly is a powerful counter-weight to unhelpful narratives that are dragging us down and may have become habitual.

Retreats & mini-retreats
A Retreat is not an escape. It’s a return — to yourself, to your own priorities, to the questions that matter most and rarely get the unhurried attention they deserve. Rejuvenation, inspiration, reinvention — in curated retreats and mini-retreats created for individual women and small groups. Individual half-day retreats and day-long group retreats.

COACHING
Coaching goes deep over time — working across the full terrain of body, mind, and spirit. Whether you’re navigating a health transition, reshaping habits that no longer serve you, planning your next steps after retirement, or stepping more fully into your own authority, coaching provides the structure, the thinking partnership, and the warm accountability to keep moving.

RETREATS & mini-Retreats
Retreats, both individual and for groups, offer an immersive experience: whether in dedicated day, half-day, or longer periods. Designed to help you step outside your routine, go inward, and return with something you didn’t have before: Clarity, or a next step. A felt sense of your own possibility.
Each retreat has its own theme, and provides its own growth and delight. Personal Renaissance Mini-Retreats are custom-designed specifically with you in mind, based on a pre-retreat Questionnaire and Interview.
Well, I thought the program itself was excellent; the design of the program, exceptional, very engaging. Your voice was very lovely to listen to; very soothing for me. So if…someone that I knew was looking for a program of this nature, I would highly recommend it. Denise Brown, Lexington KY

Fresh Start, led by Meriah, was a refreshing way to greet the new year. Thoughtful content to unite mind, body & spirit and to unite the group in sisterhood.” — Donna Pizzuto, Lexington
