Back to Me — Retreats, Workshops & Magazine for Women in Midlife
For women in the middle of it all

Find your way
back to me.

Retreats, workshops, and a free quarterly magazine for women navigating menopause, identity shifts, burnout — and the quiet pull toward something more.

This isn't another voice telling you to fix yourself. It's your permission slip — to question, to let go, and to crave more.

Created by Jami Altwies & Melissia Melendez · Meridian, Idaho

Who's behind this

Two women who refused to disappear in midlife.

Somewhere along the way, the years of showing up for everyone else can quietly edit you out of your own life. Back to Me is the antidote — built by two coaches who walked it themselves and decided midlife was a beginning, not a fade-out.

We bring two halves of the same work: the strength to feel at home in your body, and the soul work to feel at home in yourself.

Strength & Body

Jami

Strength coach and founder of She Reclaims. She helps women get out of their own way and back into their bodies — strong, capable, and done apologizing for taking up space.

Soul & Reflection

Melissia

Soul's Journey coach. She holds the inner work — identity, meaning, and the quiet questions of midlife — so the woman underneath the to-do list finally gets heard.

Three ways in

However you need to come home to yourself.

Gather in person, grow alongside other women, or read it in your own time. Start wherever you are.

Retreats

Weekends to step out of the noise and back into yourself — movement, rest, real conversation, and room to breathe. You leave lighter, clearer, and a little more yourself.

Workshops

Smaller, hands-on gatherings where women come to learn, network, and find their people. Part skill-building, part belonging — always grounded in real life.
