Meet Marlene
Hello from the Hearth
I’m Marlene Sadler, founder of Heroine’s Mystery School and the Ottawa Women 50+ community.
After years in public service and more than a decade of personal growth work, I know what it feels like to stand at a threshold: after a loss, through burnout, or when a chapter of life quietly comes to an end. I also know how much gentler those crossings become in good company.
Today I bring women together through ritual, Tarot, creative practices and thoughtfully curated gatherings, so you can pause, reconnect and step into your next chapter with clarity and joy.
This is your invitation to pause, reconnect and rise.
Be Well, You Matter to Me! Marlene xo

Work With Me · 1:1 Coaching
You Don’t Have to Navigate This Alone
Some thresholds ask for more than a gathering.
In private 1:1 coaching, we make space for what you’re carrying, whether that’s grief, burnout or a quiet sense that something new is calling. Together, we’ll find clarity, reconnect you with what matters most and shape a next chapter that truly feels like yours.
Let’s begin with a conversation.
