In 1999, Jennifer Wright took her first steps toward becoming a midlife
heroine, when, at age 47, she moved half way around the world. Having grown up in
the mid-west, single parent of two children, working as an occupational therapist
(O.T.) working in various clinical, educational and management roles, she felt the
call to adventure when her two children left home. Systematically she disordered her
predictable life with all the right 'stuff' in order to re-create a new life in New
Zealand.
Jennifer completed coaching training in 2003. Her O.T. experience in
wellness, aging and adventure therapy gave her a theoretical model on which to hang
her coaching training. She also recognized the power of backpacking after a trip
to Nevada, with her 21- year- old son, when she made her life-changing decision to
move to New Zealand.
An idea to create an adventure coaching program for women in midlife
transition led her to seek a partner, an adventure sister. She connected with Chris
Rummer in Seattle and the magic of Midlife Heroines was born.
