I am a Sober Living Coach, offering support to people who feel concerned about their relationship with alcohol.

This is compassionate, non-judgmental, coaching to help you find freedom from alcohol, if you are looking to gain control, or quit, I am here

What feelings do you enjoy, that the first couple of drinks allow you to feel?

What do you like about yourself more when you are a couple of drinks in?

What do you feel emotionally after 1-2 drinks?

Let me know 💜

05/12/2025

Social events don’t have to turn into binge city.

You get to stay connected, grounded, and fully you — even in the noisy, boozy chaos of December.

DM me DECEMBER for support that actually honours who you’re becoming.

The fear around what people will say can be real.

Maybe it's more about what they will ask that becomes the real fear.

Because it opens the flood gates for all of the "why's";

why won't you, why can't you, why don't you just....

Truth is, some people can find it difficult when you are saying no to booze because it can make them question their own relationship with alcohol.

Being prepared is the key!

Getting clear on what you want to say, it feeling genuinely aligned with who you are, and being able to say it with confidence.

It all takes a little practice.

If the struggle is real and you want to start moving forward, DM me with DECEMBER to see how I can support.

The December Socials come with the unspoken rule:

You showed up, so you must be drinking.

And honestly?
It’s outdated.
It’s boring.
And it’s not your job to make other people comfortable.

If you want to stay true to yourself when you're out this month, the magic is in the prep:

• get clear on how you want to feel
• choose a drink you genuinely enjoy
• have a line ready for pushy people
• give yourself permission to leave
• keep checking in with your needs

This isn’t about perfection.

It’s about living in alignment with what you want for yourself.

And you are allowed to choose a version of you that wakes up proud, clear and not questioning last night’s choices.

If you want support navigating December without handing your power over to a glass — DM me DECEMBER and I’ll hold you steady through it.

December doesn’t have to mean writing yourself off.

If you’re already hearing that familiar inner dialogue:

⭐️“it’s on me to make everything perfect”
🌟“How will I get through all these events without drinking too much?”
⭐️“It’s just easier to drink…”
🌟“I’ll start again in January…”

You’re not alone.

The run-up to Christmas and New Year can feel like one long, boozy obligation.

The parties.
The catch-ups.
The “Oh come on, it’s Christmas.”

And before you know it, your best intentions and joyful hopes are pushed to the back burner.

I’ve been there. It’s exhausting. By Christmas Day I felt over it, over-indulged, disconnected from myself and just waiting for the moment I could “get back to normal" 😖

This December, I’m opening a small number of 1:1 coaching spaces for women who want to navigate this season differently.

This isn’t about deprivation.
It’s about liberation
(and still enjoying the bloody mince pies)!!

This is conscious, empowering support that aligns with the woman you’re becoming — not the one you’re trying to escape.

Together, we’ll explore:

✨ The expectations placed on women to make everything perfect
✨ Your emotional responses to festive pressure
✨ How to handle social situations without white-knuckling
✨ Ways to enjoy December without losing yourself
✨ The pull towards alcohol as relief or reward
✨ What you genuinely want your relationship with alcohol to look like — regardless of what everyone else is doing

You don’t have to wait for January to choose yourself.

If this speaks to you, send me a message and let’s start the conversation.

18/11/2025

If you are waiting to start over, promising yourself next year will be different, just trying to get through the rest of the year patiently awaiting that magical day, January 1st where you get to hit the restart button.

Ask yourself how many times have you been here before?

How many times have you felt the hopefulness of new year, new start, only for that same hopefulness to have faded by the second Friday of January ?

How many times have you tried to go it alone?

If you are truly committed to this new year, being 'your year' and really want to nail it this time around, work with me.

RESOLUTE — The 90-Day Pathway to Freedom begins this January. If you’re tired of promising yourself “next week… next month… next year,” this is for you. Kick-start the New Year with the support you deserve and make 2026 the year you finally succeed.

If you want to get ahead, get prepared for the festivities and enter January with crystal clear clarity (instead of dread or déjà-vu), I’ve opened 3 one-to-one coaching spaces, starting as soon as you wish.

DM me FREEDOM for more information.

You deserve to be supported ♡

For years, I thought my relationship with alcohol was the problem.

But what I’ve learned ~ and what I help other women see — is that alcohol was never really the problem…
it was the solution I kept reaching for.

A way to:

🍷 Feel confident when I didn’t believe I was enough.
🍷 Take the edge off life, when it just felt a bit much.
🍷Relieve the boredom on a night out (yeh I said it).

It was all relief seeking in one form or another.

But when you remove alcohol, something amazing happens ~

not always straight away, not always how you want it too ~ but gradually, beautifully, and powerfully…

You start to meet yourself!

The woman who can handle hard days without numbing them.

The one who feels her emotions and still keeps moving.

The one who feels confident in her own skin, and trusts herself again.

Sobriety isn’t just about quitting drinking.

It’s about unbecoming who the world told you to be,
~ and becoming who you actually are.

Because it’s never really been about the booze, has it?

It’s about who you get become without it.

07/11/2025

You started over on Monday, and you’ve done so well all week — work, family, responsibilities, the endless mental load. But as Friday rolls around, something shifts. You feel tired, depleted, and that familiar, powerful desire to drink creeps in.

I remember this so well, it is soooo sneaky,......I felt proud for getting this far without a drink, and with that, I told myself I deserved a treat...

It's that Friday feeling, right?!

But beneath it lies something deeper.

That urge to drink isn’t just about the alcohol — it’s about the need to transition.

💫From doing to being.
💫From pressure to peace.
💫From tension to release.

Alcohol offers an instant but false gateway into relaxation. It mimics what your body and mind are genuinely craving: rest, reward, and relief.

Before you dive into another boozey Friday and a Saturday full of regret, try this!

~ P a u s e ~

Ask yourself:

》 What do I really need right now?

》 Where can I give myself permission to rest?

》 What helps me decompress without regret?

How can I meet my needs in a nourishing way, a way that I truly deserve.

Because you absolutely deserve better, and the more you understand the need beneath the craving, the less power the craving has.

The goal here isn’t to give something up — it’s to give yourself back what alcohol has been pretending to offer, and to do this, you need self-awareness.

If you know this story too well, if you are tired of the cycle and you feel ready to be supported. DM me FREEDOM. I support women, stuck in a cycle of grey area drinking to find freedom from booze, successfully ♡

03/11/2025

Why?

Because that moment, the one you’re calling a failure,
is actually feedback.

It’s showing you where your nervous system, your habits, or your emotions felt unsafe without the drink.

That’s powerful information.

You didn’t ruin anything — you revealed something.

As midlife women, we have so much to juggle;

the roles,
responsibilities,
the endless tasks and to do's

This isn’t about white-knuckling your way through a month to try and prove to yourself and everyone else you don't have 'a problem' with alcohol ;

it’s about understanding why alcohol still feels like the only way to get through it all.

Once you learn what that drink is really trying to do for you — that’s when freedom begins.

If you are a grey area drinker and feel stuck, please don’t give up.

Join me — I’ll help you turn that “slip” into your biggest step forward yet.

I have space to support 3 women on a one to one basis immediately, and my new group programme, the Freedom Pathway, starts in January.

DM me “FREEDOM” or use the link in my bio to book a free discovery call.

You feel anything but refreshed when you wake.

The taste and the smell of last night's booze on your breath.

Today is the day you were thinking about yesterday (and the day before that, and the day before that, too).

Today IS the day. No more, never again.

And as the day wears on your thoughts, turn to drink.

You know you shouldn't, you know you mustn't.

It's constantly on your mind.

So you decide if you push back the time and only have one, it will be okay.

And so the cycle continues.

The shame, the guilt, the cover-ups.

If you're ready to break the cycle, DM me, let's start a conversation.

29/10/2025

It is all about the baby steps...

Keep on taking them,...

ONE DAY YOU WILL LOOK BACK AND SEE HOW FAR YOU HAVE COME.

Sending love to those that need it right now ♡
