For capable women in midlife and perimenopause who are still holding it all together and no longer feel like themselves.
You’re not broken.
You’re carrying too much.


Stability first. Story later.

What I do

See the whole load

Most women know their load is heavy. Very few have seen it written down in one place. We start there.

Steady before you decide

When you're running on empty, urgency can feel like clarity. The big decisions wait until you're on steadier ground.

Take something off

Not one more routine to keep up. One thing off the pile, even partly.

Where to start


I'm Jennifer Gifford

For over fourteen years I designed bridal gowns, dressing women for the most looked-at day of their lives. In 2020 the weddings stopped, and I stood in the doorway of my own workroom unable to walk in, carrying far more than I could see.
The Threshold Studio is what I needed then and couldn't find.


If you've come from Still You

We count what you're carrying and look for one thing you could put down. If there's a decision you keep circling, we'll look at that too.


Speaking

For organisations that want to keep their most experienced women. My keynote, The Quiet Exit, is about what midlife does to a woman's judgement, and how she keeps hold of it. It isn't a menopause briefing. It's about the decision.

Start with a conversation

Free, 45 minutes, with me. Nothing to prepare.
