When the life that defines you disappears
who do you become?
Who are you beyond the roles that have defined you?
Private 1:1 Reinvention Mentoring for people exploring identity, meaning, purpose and how they want to live from here.
Kersten Stengel's approach to reinvention brings together a combination rarely found in one practitioner: thirty years of scientific foundations, clinical nutrition, yoga therapy, ICF coaching, more than two decades of senior leadership experience, and the lived experience of rebuilding her own identity and life after profound change.
It is this integration of science, body, identity and lived experience that forms the foundation of her private work.
Limited spaces available for September / October 2026.
Somewhere along the way the roles became identity.
Career. Leadership. Family. Responsibility. Being capable. Being needed.
They may still matter deeply, but when they begin to change, or no longer tell the whole story, a different question emerges:
Who am I now - and what do I want my life to mean?
THE APPROACH
The Aligned Reset Method™ is a twelve-week structured methodology I developed from years of clinical practice, scientific study, and my own experience of rebuilding identity and capacity from the ground up.
It integrates three dimensions that are often addressed separately.
RECALIBRATE
Stabilising the nervous system, reducing physiological load and restoring the foundations that support genuine energy and clarity. The science and practice creates the conditions for everything that follows.
REBUILD
Restoring sustainable capacity across the areas that matter for you. Sleep, energy, cognitive clarity, physical resilience and the way you support your body. Evidence-informed and precisely tailored to your current presentation.
REALIGN
The work most people skip in their rush to find solid ground. An honest examination of what the self has been organised around.
What was borrowed from the role and what was actually yours? What matters now? What you want the next stage of your life to be built around, and who you are building it as.
The sequence is deliberate. Each phase creates the conditions the next one requires.
THE MENTORSHIP
Twelve weeks of highly individualised private mentoring, bringing together four core elements:
ASSESSMENT OF YOUR
Foundation
A comprehensive understanding of where you are now. Beginning with detailed onboarding and assessment to establish your physiological, professional and personal baseline and the priorities for our work together.
CLINICAL
Precision
Individualised clinical and body-based support. Clinical nutrition architecture and personalised yoga therapy and regulation practices developed around your presentation and adapted as the work progresses.
COACHING FOR
Reinvention
Private coaching and reinvention work. Six ICF coaching sessions exploring identity, purpose, leadership, meaning and the decisions shaping the next stage of your life.
INTEGRATION AND
Continuity
Integration and ongoing support. Direct access to me throughout the programme, a personalised 90-Day Stability Plan at completion and a post-mentoring review session to support what comes next.

THE CLARITY CONVERSATION
30 minutes. Private. No obligation.
A conversation about where you are now, the questions you are sitting with, and what you want the next stage of your life to hold.
We will explore whether private mentoring is the right way forward for you and, if it is, what working together could look like.
Whatever you decide, the conversation is designed to leave you with greater clarity about where you go from here.
A limited number of places are available for September and early October 2026.
