Life in Transition One-Day Workshop
"The Life in Transition workshop was a day well spent! Natalie teaches and inspires through her own life experiences, compassion for others and wisdom. I left the workshop feeling cared for, empowered, equipped with tools to use as I move through transition, and knowing some wonderful women! It truly was a mind, body, soul, kinda day!"

"I have met with Natalie privately and I have attended one of her workshops. There is very little information about this anywhere and so Natalie is a godsend.
Natalie is very helpful and patient when you meet with her privately.
Natalie is very knowledgeable and experienced, and her workshops provide an opportunity to brainstorm with other women who have similar concerns. Natalie's workshop seemed to attract a great group of women who worked together beautifully under her direction."
- Nancy Skewes-Cox, October 6, 2012

... I have encountered many women like myself who are in this stage of life and looking for tools to help guide us. I sought out Natalie and she is positive, uplifting and full of inspirational ideas and help.
I really love the concrete tools that I have returned home with; Natalie is that kind of speaker/helper.
Hope you have a beautiful day!

Dear Natalie,
Meeting you and attending your sessions at Rancho La Puerta last month was a pleasure. You're such a warm and compassionate person. Your sensitivity helped me and the other participants in your workshops feel comfortable enough to open up to each other. I feel that I have more peace and clarity thanks to you and the support of the group.
I wanted to personally thank you after your workshop ended, but I never caught you at a time when we were both free to talk. Please accept my thanks now. Thank you also for generously giving us special gifts. The cloth, prayer stick, photo, and toe ring (which I wore on a finger today) continue to remind me of you and the other kind people who attended your sessions. I wish you the continued success and happiness that you clearly deserve.
Best wishes,
Joanne

Her topics universally affect us all, and she delivers a sincere and practical message.

This is Ruth, TeaRuth on your message boards. I came to your site about 5 - 6 years ago. I joined a couple of your phone consultations and even you called me once and patiently listened to my story. Long story short - is that I have four kids (three boys & one girl) and I struggled as each of the kids left, especially since one had a girlfriend and essentially disappeared from our lives.
Anyway, I want to thank you for your help. From your site, your phone consultations, your message boards - I think I lived on your boards, tears coming from my eyes for a couple of years. The good news is that six years later, we have two married sons, and two kids in college. Yes, I have had challenges along the way, but because of your work, I worked on moving on.
Today, yes, I still grieve my old role as mom - but, I have embraced my new season. Fortunately, we are a happily married couple and we are like on a new honeymoon era. :-) In the past 6 years I changed my business, which was video oriented to an online business that works alongside my husband's manufacturing plant. So it is fun to work together and envision the future of our businesses.
It is tough being the mom of boys in the sense that when they are married they tend towards the wives side - but I am thankful that our boys are very happy - and enjoy each moment I see them and try not to be offended when I don't see them much, remembering my newlywed first couple of years.
Anyway, thanks again for your website, your phone consultations (years ago) and your ministry with helping us all through this time in our lives.
God Bless,
TeaRuth

Natalie,
"Just a note to let you know that our family truly enjoyed the Life In Transition sessions at Rancho La Puerta during the week of July 31 - August 7, 2010. Your leadership style was so calm, soothing, and nurturing. We felt completely "safe" when sharing inner thoughts, future concerns and current circumstances. We left the Ranch with a fresh outlook on how to deal with the unexpected twists that are sure to come our way. In fact, you helped us find beauty in knowing that we have come through many changes in our lives and thus have the ability and strength to face whatever challenges lie ahead. For me personally, I was relieved to hear that each facet of life did not have to occupy equal segments of time and attention, as long as we were alright with the imbalance.
Thanks again for the enlightenment."
Joyce, Jonn and Michelle

"I wanted to tell you how valuable I found the "Life in Transition" course at Rancho la Puerta this past month.
I chose this time at the ranch specifically to take the workshop and I was so glad that I did.
The sessions more than met my expectations and gave me just what I needed as I move ahead in retirement and adding new responsibilities to my life.
The exercises and interactions opened new doors of thought and offered tools to guide me as I enter this phase of life.
Thank you again for being such a wonderful teacher and addressing some very crucial needs for me and the other participants in the class".

"I just visited your empty nest web site, and really want to thank your for putting it together, I have only just started reading, and feel so much better inside, I just don't hear too many people having a hard time with this as I am right now. When I read your line about letting them go right after dropping them off at kindergarten, that struck my heart deep, because I will never forget that pain I felt in my heart that day, cried furiously all the way home. I am a single mom, and nice to read that I am not alone in my feelings, can't wait to read every word on your site~ Can't say thank you enough"

"I wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you to Natalie Caine and her Empty Nest Support Services.
When I decided to take advantage of Natalie's articles in our boomer women section on Boomersforever.com web site I had know idea of the great response and interest I would receive from our numerous boomer readers. There is a need for valuable information in this area Natalie writes about.
I think Natalie's article she wrote - Do You Know What You Want To Do? really reaches boomers who now face situations such as burn out, depression ,stress attacks and a general feeling of worthlessness. Not knowing what direction to go next, is a major problem for this growing generation. This article really helps create a positive attitude and give people ideas of what to do in there every day life. Great article Natalie!"
