About Me
Working in the record industry in my 20’s, alcohol became very much part of the social culture. This continued in my 30’s when I became a Mum. My treat at the end of a busy day was that glass of wine that became 2 or 3 glasses.
Every year I used to do ‘Dry January’ and then every February I would start drinking again. I knew it was having an impact on my well-being, my mental health and my relationships. I used to wake up with that awful paranoia about what I had said or done the night before, and I knew that the next day I was snappy and had no patience with my children. I knew I wasn’t an alcoholic but I also knew that it wasn’t my friend and I needed to do something about it.
Following a very indulgent all inclusive holiday in August 2019, I knew I had to do something. The first few weeks were hard, but I was determined to stick with it and gradually everything became so much easier. My mental health improved beyond measure, my skin improved, my sleep improved, my relationships improved, I was a much nicer Mum and I had so much more free time that I could start to do the things I loved, not to mention the amount of money I saved.
I am so passionate about helping people realise that they can be themselves and have the life they want without the booze. We just need to break the cycle to be free.
I am a qualified sober coach, certified by the Sober Club and the IPHM (International Practitioners of Holistic Medicine).
