The RISE Compass

I have created a gentle, grounded framework for alcohol free coaching, to guide you through your unique sobriety journey.

No rules.  No rigidity.

Just clarity, connection, and becoming who you truly are.

Your Alcohol Free Coaching Journey Begins With Rooted Strength

We start by putting down strong roots.

This is all about reaching deep into all the parts of you that give an unwavering YES to your sobriety.

We’ll reconnect you with the part of you that knows – truly – that you’re done with alcohol.

The part that’s ready to rise.

Here’s how we bring the RISE Compass™ into your alcohol free coaching journey, to help you to thrive in sober life:

Reconnection

Sobriety starts with connection.  With yourself, with your body, and with the world around you.

Self-Connection
In our work together, you’ll reconnect with your thoughts, dreams, and desires.
No more numbing.  Just you.  Present and clear.

Physical Connection
I’ll help you to begin rebuilding a caring relationship with your body, in a way that is right for you.
Feel at home in her again.  Honour her needs and her strength.

Nature Connection
Together, we’ll create simple practices that bring you back to nature.
Let the natural world ground and calm you.

Connection With Others
You’ll start to build sober, supportive relationships.
No more isolation.  You’re meant for connection.

Inner Balance

Through gentle but effective coaching, we’ll find your rhythm and restore what’s been depleted.
Sobriety needs balance, and we’ll build it together.

Rest
You’ll learn to give yourself full permission to rest.
We’ll release the guilt and embrace deep restoration.

Mindfulness
I’ll support you in slowing down and tuning in.
Together, we’ll make space for presence and peace.

Aligned Living
We’ll uncover what truly matters to you, so you can build your alcohol free life around it.
This is about living in alignment, not obligation.

Creativity
Creativity takes so many forms!  I’ll work with you to remember or discover what lights you up, so that your unique creative expression becomes a tool for joy and healing.

Self Trust

Sobriety is rooted in trusting yourself – deeply.

You already hold the wisdom you need.
My role is to help you reconnect with it, and build confidence in your choices.

Together, we’ll create accountability that feels supportive, not forced.  So you can honour your commitments and feel proud of how you show up for yourself.

Empowered Resilience

Through honest reflection and compassionate coaching, we’ll grow your ability to meet life with strength and softness.

Self-Compassion
I’ll help you speak to yourself with kindness, even on hard days.

Radical Self-Honesty
You’ll have a safe space to be fully real.  No shame, just truth.

Flourishing
You’re not just surviving – you’re growing.
I’ll support you in creating a life that feels full and rich.

Celebration
We’ll honour every win, big and small.
Your progress matters, and we’ll celebrate it together.
