If you have ever felt overwhelmed, unheard and quietly disconnected from yourself, I want you to know I have been exactly where you are. I recognised that feeling because in many ways I lived it too. I found myself moving through life on autopilot, and what I did not realise was the quiet effect alcohol was having on me. For me there was no rock bottom, it had become the way I relaxed, the thing that took the edge off, until I began to wonder how much it was really costing me. I was a binge drinker, mainly at weekends, unless of course there was a birthday or some excuse to celebrate. Going alcohol free was the moment everything shifted. It gave me a clarity I did not know I was missing. With that clarity came the courage to study a Diploma in Positive Psychology, which allowed me to question old beliefs and change my life with intention. It also showed me how deeply alcohol can affect women in midlife, their sleep, their mood, their anxiety, their habits and sense of control. That is why I now work as a Certified Alcohol Free Coach, supporting women to change their relationship with alcohol for good.
Women deserve more than being told to simply cut down or willpower their way through, after all, willpower runs out! They deserve support, understanding and a holistic approach that honours their whole self. My purpose is to guide you using science backed tools in Positive Psychology, Alcohol Free Coaching and with my own lived experience. Midlife is not the end of anything. It is the beginning of a deeper, more aligned chapter, and life without alcohol in the driving seat is where that begins.
I am no longer running on autopilot. I have connected with who I truly am, it was like gently turning the volume down on everything that was keeping me small. The fog began to lift. The anxiety softened. And slowly, I began to create a life of meaning, purpose and fulfilment, I trained as a Coach and left my career in the NHS.
This is the journey I now walk alongside women. Gently, and without judgement. Not just away from alcohol, but toward something far more meaningful. Toward stillness. Toward self-trust. Toward a version of yourself that feels lighter, clearer and finally, yours.
If you are feeling that alcohol is taking far more than it is giving, I would love to hear from you. A free discovery call is the perfect first step. No pressure, no jargon, just an honest conversation about where you are and how I can help.
