20 workshops • One-time payment of US$97 • No subscription

Have you ever found yourself wondering, 'How did I get here?'

Maybe you're sitting in your car after the school drop-off, Googling questions you never imagined you'd ask. Maybe you love your husband, adore your children, and still can't quite make sense of what you're feeling. Or perhaps you've already come out, but the unlearning, grief, excitement and relationship changes are still unfolding.

When the questions feel this big, the last thing you need is someone telling you what your future should look like. You deserve a place to listen, reflect and discover at your own pace.

Inside Gentle Unravelling, you can…

  • Explore sexuality and identity without needing a label.
  • Understand compulsory heterosexuality and social expectations.
  • Navigate fear, relationships, marriage and family questions without rushing.
  • Reconnect with your body, pleasure, desire and self-trust.
  • Learn from lesbian coaches, therapists, authors and practitioners.
  • Return to the workshops as your questions evolve.

Welcome to Gentle Unravelling 🤎

Once a series of live workshops, Gentle Unravelling is now a home for 20 expert-led conversations about sexuality, identity, relationships, healing and self-discovery later in life.

This isn't a course you need to complete in order, and it isn't a roadmap telling you who you are. It's a workshop library you can return to as your life evolves.

Explore the workshop themes

  • Understanding yourself: questioning, attraction, labels and compulsory heterosexuality.
  • Navigating relationships and change: marriage, motherhood, coming out and grief.
  • Body, pleasure and desire: somatic awareness, embodiment and intimacy.
  • Healing and growth: emotional awareness, boundaries and self-trust.
  • Connection and becoming: belonging, possibilities and writing your next chapter.

A little hello from me

Hi, I'm Petria. 🤎 I'm the founder of The Late Blooming Lounge and a late bloomer myself.

I spent years married to men, became a mum to four beautiful humans, and built a life I thought I was supposed to have. Discovering my sexuality later in life opened up joy and possibility, but also uncertainty, grief and a whole lot of unlearning.

Through our community, I've connected with thousands of women whose journeys look different. I created Gentle Unravelling to bring together the conversations and perspectives I wish more women could access, without another expectation to have everything figured out.

I'm so glad you've found your way here.
Petria xx
