Introducing Tap and Write

A unique, guided blend of EFT Tapping + Therapeutic/Reflective writing.

Where Your body softens. Your mind opens. Your truth rises.

Where you’re a W.I.S.E.R. Woman

Wisdom ♦︎ Intuition ♦︎ Self-Compassion ♦︎ Energy ♦︎ Responsibility

Joan Ridsdel Coaching

Tap and Write is a gentle, powerful experience that helps you move through transition with clarity and self-trust.

It’s the process women describe as “deep,” “profound,” “transformational,” and “a place where I feel safe enough to explore what’s really going on with ease and calm.”

You can join through:

Small group Tap and Write sessions

Monthly Tap and Write sessions or specialized Tap and Write series offering calm, connection, and meaningful reflection.

1–1 Tap and Write sessions

Personalized to you, your story, your challenges, and your growth.

And then,

W.I.S.E.R. Woman Coaching

The W.I.S.E.R. Woman Path - Inner Resources for a more meaningful midlife.

Pink Flower

At the heart of everything I offer — Tap and Write, 1–1 coaching, group programs — is the W.I.S.E.R. Woman framework I created more than a decade ago.

It’s built around five inner resources that grow stronger, not weaker, with age:

W — Wisdom
You’ve lived, learned, and earned your depth.

I — Intuition
The truth that surfaces when your nervous system settles.

S — Self-Compassion
The courage to treat yourself with the kindness you offer others.

E — Energy
The vitality that returns when emotional weight lifts.

R — Resilience / Responsibility
The clarity and agency to shape your own next chapter.

1–1 Life Coaching for Midlife and Beyond

A separate but complementary offering.

In addition to Tap and Write, I offer traditional 1–1 life coaching for women wanting focused support around transition, identity shifts, or designing a meaningful next chapter.

Coaching and Tap and Write work beautifully together — or can be taken separately depending on what you need.

At the core of my work with you is integrity and respect - for you, where you are now in your journey, and where you want to go.

Let’s Work Together…

Midlife Isn’t the End of Your Story.

It’s the beginning of your truest one.

If you’re ready to explore what’s waiting to emerge — with safety, depth, intuition, and compassionate guidance — I’d love to walk with you.

You are a W.I.S.E.R. Woman.

Kind Words From My Clients

  • I now value who I am!

    Joan, in her own gentle way, empowered me to reflect on my past, analyze my present, and plan a future with kindness and intention. Her own experience with negative body image positions her well to share her learnings, her struggles, and the tools that helped her along the way in accepting of her own body. I always felt heard and valued whenever I shared my own experiences, insights and learnings with Joan.

    ~ Tasneem

  • Life Changing!

    The only word that can come close to describing my experience of Joan’s Self Love for the WISER Woman Intensive program is LIFE-CHANGING! Joan’s gentleness, availability, knowledge and the fact that she worked through this herself made her the ideal guide. Joan taught me how “to do the work”….Just imagine loving yourself at this stage in life!

    ~ Carin

  • I found peace!

    Joan helped me through a very difficult time when I felt I was in a hole I couldn’t climb out of and what I wanted to do was run away from it. Working with Joan helped me find the perspective I needed to deal with the challenging situations I was dealing with. Her gentle questions and the tools she offered, helped me look at these situations with new eyes, and gave me the sanity I needed in my life. Thank you Joan! You helped me …find peace and perspective.
