Life Coaching, Emotional Wellness, and Purposeful Aging for Women Over 50
Welcome to Silfira Women’s Wellness & Life Advancement, a space devoted to supporting women over 50 as they navigate midlife transitions, caregiving, emotional wellbeing, and aging with dignity.
My name is Dr. Susan Santiago-Turner. I am a Gen X woman, educator, psychotherapist, and entrepreneur with nearly 60 years of combined lived experience and professional expertise dedicated to helping women cultivate resilience, clarity, and purpose in the second half of life.
Expertise
Rooted in Experience. Guided by Compassion.
As an educator, I have spent years preparing the next generation of counselors, witnessing firsthand the power of meaning-making, critical thinking, and transformative dialogue. As a psychotherapist, I had the honor of working with middle-aged and older women who were caregiving for aging parents with chronic or terminal illness. Many of these women made the courageous choice to care for parents who had not protected or nurtured them in childhood. Others made the equally courageous decision to step aside and allow someone else to provide care. Neither path is easy. Both require grace. Through these deeply human experiences, I witnessed extraordinary resilience, emotional strength, and self-discovery. These women shaped my understanding of what it truly means to age consciously, compassionately, and with self-respect.
New Chapter: Life Coaching for Women in Midlife and Beyond
As an entrepreneur, I founded Silfira Women’s Wellness & Life Advancement with a clear vision:
to support women in aging gracefully, reclaiming their voice, and navigating life transitions with dignity and intention.
Over the years, I realized I was already living the role of a life coach — guiding students, walking alongside clients through life’s most difficult moments, and practicing what I taught by starting a purpose-driven business.
As I transition away from my psychotherapy private practice, I now focus exclusively on life coaching for women over 50. I bring together my professional expertise, lived experience, and deep understanding of women’s emotional landscapes to help you:
-
Manage caregiving stress and emotional fatigue
-
Navigate identity shifts, loss, and life transitions
-
Reconnect with purpose, boundaries, and self-trust
-
Support your emotional wellness during aging and change
I meet you exactly where you are and help you channel your inner strength so you can live this chapter of your life with clarity, confidence, and meaning.
