I absolutely loved supporting Firewalk UK on Saturday night with their fundraiser for Alzheimer’s UK at The White Lion in Saddleworth.

Lots of money was raised for this amazing cause, and lots of courageous people stepped right outside of their comfort zone. It was an amazing night, and I got to see one of my favourite firewalking trainers too so happy days 💖🔥

I am soon to release the details for my own transformational day event, “Release and Reignite - A day of courage, letting go and reclaiming your power”.

The venue is in South Manchester on the 14th March 2026, just before the Spring Equinox and I can not wait 🔥💖

Would you like to take part in an alcohol-free programme with a difference?

Based around positive psychology, this programme is about focussing on everything we gain from taking a break from alcohol. It is exciting, empowering and joyful. Places are limited as my programmes are kept small, I would love you to join us.

This 31- day programme is all about deep-learning, around you and your habits with alcohol. It is about working on your mindset and your limiting beliefs, so that you view taking a break from alcohol as a gift, that you absolutely can achieve.

It is about more than just the 31 days. It is about making shifts that go way beyond, should you wish.

It is based in a small-group setting with masses of support and accountability. I get to know and support you as an individual, and we make real progress. You also receive a 30-minute 1-1 coaching call with myself, making the programme incredible value for money.

Often women tell me that alcohol just doesn’t feel good for them anymore, it can be tied in with menopause or peri menopause but for some it just isn’t serving them, and they recognise their life would be more peaceful without it.

My alcohol-free January programme is for anyone who would like to take a month off the booze in a supportive but not judgemental space, but more than this, it is about exploring the possibilities beyond the month, for anyone who is sober curious and questioning their relationship with alcohol.

We don’t have to stay on the wrong train, just because we have been on it for a while.

Every single client from my last programme has continued working with me.

It is just £95 for the entire month.

What do you have to lose?

If not now, when?

In May, I went away for a week to train and qualify as a firewalk instructor (alongside a number of other practices).

The course was called “The Firewalk Instructor Training and Empowerment Intensive”. I expected to be building fires and walking over hot coals every day, but I had completely missed the memo about the empowerment part.

It was far beyond anything I could have ever imagined. I was further out of my comfort zone than I have ever been before, and it became one of the most emotionally challenging yet spiritually enlightening weeks of my life.

Our little tribe, who started as complete strangers, laughed until we cried, cried until we couldn’t cry anymore, danced, walked over glass, broke arrows with our throats, completed trust falls and shared and shared and shared — our lives, our struggles, our hopes and our fears. We built fires, learned about fire, sat an exam on fire and arrows and glass, and then on the final night, we each walked over the coals 108 times, because the number 108 symbolises totality - the full experience of being human.

So while I did qualify as a firewalk instructor (and an arrow-breaking instructor and glass-walking instructor), I also gained a fire-walking family.

To the FIT 2025 crew, thank you for holding space for me, allowing me to be heard and reminding me of my own strength and worth. I will be forever grateful for you all.

I am tending fires at the events held by my 2025 cohort, and also working for Firewalk UK, to tend the fires for their events and I’ll soon be ready to post details of my very own firewalk and empowerment day. I can not wait to bring this to life.

Here are a few of my training pictures 🔥💖

Booking is now open for my January Alcohol-Free Programme.

This is so much more than a ‘Dry January’. It’s a space for anyone who wants to explore their relationship with alcohol in a deeper, more meaningful way — to take a month off drinking and look at the changes you may want to make moving forwards.

It’s about learning, connection, curiosity, and creating lasting change (if that’s what you’re looking for).

It’s about non-judgemental support, encouragement, and being truly cheered on.

This will be the last time the programme runs at £95. For years, the feedback has been that it’s far too inexpensive for what’s delivered — so if you’ve been curious, now is the perfect time to jump in.

It always sells out, and every year I end up turning people away at the last minute (which I absolutely hate doing), so please book early to avoid disappointment.

What a gorgeous gift to yourself at the start off a new year.

I know it can feel daunting, but it’s consistently fed back as being a hugely positive experience.

Here is the link for more info or and below is a testimonial from a client that participated last time.

I’d love you to join me 💖

It’s been a while since I properly updated on here. Things have been going so well with my 1:1 coaching clients and group programmes, yet sometimes I feel the need to stop sharing, and to step back from social media. Rest and reflection are powerful parts of growth, in sobriety, in business, and in life. I’m rested, and I can’t wait to share what’s been happening behind the scenes.

My Alcohol-Free September programme was another amazing experience for me, and the feedback from participants was so positive (I’ll be sharing more over the coming weeks). It was an incredible group of women, and every single client from the programme has continued working with me, either on a 1-1 basis or through my ongoing group coaching. I’ll be running the programme again in January, and this will be the last time it is available at the £95 price point. If you’ve been on the fence, this is the moment to join me.

I’ve also been creating a course on emotional sobriety - something that is so needed for anyone who removes alcohol and then finds themselves struggling with the emotions they used to drink to numb. My lived experience has placed me well to explore, research, practice, and now share this work. It’s powerful, and I’m so excited to bring my first group together in the new year.

Back in May, I also completed some very exciting training. It was one of the most emotionally challenging weeks of my life. I was pushed so far outside of my comfort zone and I’ve been quietly learning, reflecting and practising since then, and I’m ready to bring it here. This one isn’t alcohol-related, but it has the potential to help so many people in the most transformative of ways.

And finally - I turned 4 years sober a few weeks ago. I haven’t consumed a single sip of alcohol in 4 whole years. It has been one step at a time, and I’m still learning so much about myself, and I’m so grateful to those people that I am sharing this journey with.

I have lots to share so keep an eye out if you are interested in alcohol-free living or general growth and transformation. There is so much good stuff coming 💖

I received this message this morning from one of my former clients 💖 We worked together on a 1-1 basis for 18 sessions, and then she went off to live her alcohol-free life and today she is 901 days without a drop of booze.

Making the choice to never numb, is transformational in so many ways, and it comes with the biggest of rewards.

If you are struggling with alcohol, then alcohol-free living could be the greatest gift you have even given yourself.

I offer 1-1 coaching, month long intensive group programmes and an ongoing coaching group.

If you would like to explore getting some support around your relationship with alcohol, let’s talk.

Click the below link to book a free discovery call. There is no pressure to sign up, just an opportunity for me to get to know you a little and vice versa, and then you are free to go away and have a think about whether you would like to work together moving forwards.

There is always a way forwards and I would love to support you.
