It’s In Your Nature
Women are living longer than ever before — and that means there’s a stage of life that didn’t used to exist.
“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, this is your invitation to:
- Shed roles that no longer fit, and recognize yourself again
- Tap into the reservoir of strength you’ve accumulated over a lifetime
- Find your own answers to questions nobody prepared you for
- Envision and create the life you actually want, regardless of how you’ve lived in the past.

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
You deserve a guide who knows this territory from the inside.

MERIAH KRUSE has spent decades working with women at the intersection of body, mind, and spirit — as a dance educator, massage therapist, bodyworker, and Feldenkrais practitioner; through retreat leadership and business coaching; and most recently as a Health & Wellness coach completing her formal certification. She has worked with over 3,000 clients and students 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..
Meriah is an amazing leader in our community. She is able to get to the heart of the matter quickly. With her great insight and deep intuitive sense, she helped me get clarity and a better sense of direction…and celebrated with me in my success. Hiring Meriah was one of the best things I could have done...” Rev. Diane Vego, Lexington KY

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 To-Do lists, advanced your cause, overcome obstacles, rolled with the punches, and painted the town.
You’re curious about how good your life could actually be. 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 — and 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 open to deeper insights about who you’re becoming.

There are several ways in — and all of them begin with a conversation..
COACHING
Some questions clarify in a single conversation. Others unfold over weeks — with someone beside you who knows the territory, asks the right questions, and helps you stay in motion when the momentum naturally dips.
Coaching with Meriah is a sustained thinking partnership — warm, rigorous, and built entirely around you. Not a program you fit yourself into, but a process that fits itself to your desires, your history, your habits, and wherever you are right now.
There are multiple types of coaching available.




STORY AFFIRMATIONS
“What we repeatedly choose to think and attend to physically changes the brain.” Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor
The stories you tell yourself about yourself may be the most powerful stories of all.
Most of us are running on narratives we didn’t consciously choose — inherited, accumulated, outdated. Story Affirmations are brief, personal narratives written specifically about you, with you, and for you, capturing who you are becoming and what you know to be true about yourself.
Return to them often. This done-for-you affirmative story is a powerful counter to those habitual stories that sell you short — and a daily reminder of what you’re actually made of.
RETREATS & mini-RETREATS
A retreat is not an escape. It is a return — to yourself, to your own priorities, to the questions that matter most and rarely get the unhurried attention they deserve.
Meriah offers retreats for individual women and small groups — immersive, unhurried, and grounded in the same conviction that runs through all her work: body, mind, and spirit arrive together and need to be met together. Each retreat has its own theme. Personal Renaissance Mini-Retreats are custom-designed specifically with you in mind.
You’ll leave with something real — not just inspiration, but a next step that belongs to you.


Well, I thought the program itself was excellent; the design of the program, exceptional, very engaging…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
