SOBRIETY IS JUST THE BEGINNING
Some emotional responses don’t get the sober memo.
You stop drinking, but you don’t suddenly know how to draw a line without guilt.
Or say what you mean without softening it.
Or stay with what you feel without trying to escape it.
Wine made it easy to skip that work.
And life can be sharp with nothing to blur the edges of the things that sting.
But you’ve had enough of the snapping. The overthinking. The shutdowns.
I’m here to hand you the spark – to ignite that part of you who had the courage to choose sobriety.
The one who knew this life was worth it and is done settling for just surviving it.
Why working with me feels different
I’m a sober woman too.
I know what it’s like to white-knuckle your way through the day, wondering if this is as good as it gets.
I spent years reading, trialling and stitching together ways of responding that actually make sense when things get hard, not just when you’re reading the book.
What I needed then is what I bring to you now: emotional sobriety built on practices that hold when life presses in, because they’ve been tested in the real world.
What I learned during my own emotional sobriety journey (which I’ll never stop travelling) became the foundation of my coaching.
It led to the creation of the RISE Compass, which I created so you don’t have to piece things together the way I did.
This isn’t just work for your head, and it’s not just nervous system support either.
What makes it different is how the two come together.
Because emotional sobriety isn’t just something you understand. This is a conversation between your head and your body.
And when you learn how to be part of that conversation, sobriety stops being something you maintain – and becomes something you’re damn glad you chose.
Ready for the part that actually changes how you feel?
The RISE Compass
At the centre of my work is the RISE Compass.
It’s a framework I developed to guide sober women through two layers of emotional sobriety.
The 4 Core Tensions: These are the patterns that pull your energy, reactions, and relationships off-centre in sobriety.
Resentment | Identity | Self Abandonment | Exiled Emotion
The 4 Sobriety Anchors: These are the steady, internal capacities we strengthen in response, to help you come back to yourself and move forward with clarity.
Reconnection | Inner Balance | Self Trust | Embodiment
You’re not here to memorise the details; through working with me you’ll feel the RISE Compass doing its job – backing you in the moments that used to take you out sideways.
Credentials matter. So does congruence.
I have a deep appreciation of the unique path that each woman takes in returning to herself.
I hold a triple-accredited coaching qualification in Positive Psychology Coaching (AC, EMCC, ICF), with specialist training in alcohol freedom.
As a fully accredited coach with the Association for Coaching, my work is grounded in ethical, practical, and emotional integrity – no winging it here.
Beyond coaching, I have long experience of leading grounded, honest spaces for women across Europe, from intimate sobriety circles to long-standing women’s groups rooted in truth and growth.
I’m here to walk beside you as you rise into the kind of sober life that lives in your body, not just your habits.
