A 16-week 1:1 coaching program

A 16-week 1:1 alcohol-free coaching program for women who sense alcohol is holding them back.

You drink like most people around you. 

A glass of wine with dinner. Drinks on the weekend. A party night here and there.

Nothing dramatic. Nothing that looks like a "problem" on the outside. 


You're busy. You juggle a lot. 

Work, kids, relationships, responsibilities, expectations. 

You're the one who keeps things running. You need to be on top of your game, mentally sharp, emotionally present, able to handle a full life. 


And you do. You show up, 

You function well. You get things done.


And yet... Every time you drink you wake up feeling slightly off. 

Not so much hungover, just disconnected. 

Less happy. Less present. Less sharp.


It's subtle, but it lingers.  It gets under your skin. 

Like a part of you knows alcohol no longer fits the life you're building or the level you're trying to operate on. 


You can feel that something is out of alignment, and at the same time, stepping away from this habit you've had for so long feels strangely hard, almost unthinkable. 




Who this coaching is for

The Sober Shift is for high-functioning women who feel stuck in the grey-area drinking cycle. 


You don't identify as having a "problem", yet alcohol takes more from you than you're willing to admit. 


This is for you if:


  • You've tried to quit or cut back and keep finding yourself negotiating rules you don't fully stick to.


  • One glass rarely feels as enough, yet drinking never gives you what you hoped it would.


  • You function well on the outside, but feel off, disconnected and less happy on the inside.


  • You sense, intuitively that alcohol is holding you back from reaching your full potential


  • You feel a deep desire to remove alcohol from your life and are willing to put in the work. This program is only for you if you are ready to show up, honestly and consistently. 


What this coaching is really about

This is not a program about restriction, counting days and willpower. You have probably tried that before and it didn't work. 


The Sober Shift works at the root:


  • We change your beliefs around alcohol, so the desire to drink naturally fades.


  • We uncover what you were actually craving beneath the drink.


  • We rebuild your identity without alcohol in it


  • We reconnect you to your intuition and deeper desires. 

What the 16 weeks look like

This is a highly personal and supportive container where you're guided step by step.


You'll receive:

  • 8 deep 1:1 coaching sessions (every other week). Focused on belief work, emotional patterns, identity shifts and future purpose. 
  • Daily Voxer support (Mon-Fri) For the moments that cravings arise, emotions come up or you just need some extra motivation and support. 
  • Weekly homework & reflections. Powerful exercises that fit into your busy life. 
  • Weekly info sheets & insights. So you understand what is happening in your brain, your body, your patterns and how to shift them. 


Everything is designed to be doable, even as a mother/business owner/ women with a full life. 

The transformation

By the end of our work together, women often describe feeling:

  • Free from the constant mental negotiation around alcohol
  • More present, patient and emotionally steady in their daily lives
  • Clearer in their decisions and more confident in trusting themselves
  • Deeply reconnected to who they are beneath old coping patterns
  • Happier and lighter
  • Aligned with what truly matters to them, not just what's expected
  • More grounded in their sense of purpose and direction

Why 16 weeks?

Because real change takes time.


It takes roughly 90-100 days for the brain to weaken old drinking patterns and build new ones that make alcohol feel less appealing. 


A month isn't enough for that shift. 


I chose a 16-week container so I can guide you through those first challenging months. Through real life triggers, social moments, emotional waves. Until your new normal feels solid and self-led. 


By the end, you won't have just stopped drinking. You'll have stopped wanting to.

What makes this program different?

Most programs focus only on quitting alcohol.


The Sober Shift focuses on listening to the message behind it. 


I don't believe the desire to quit drinking comes out of nowhere, especially not for intuitive, high-functioning women. If you've been feeling a persistent inner nudge to remove alcohol from your life, it's usually not just about the alcohol itself. 


It's about what your intuition already knows. 


For many women alcohol becomes the thing that dulls discomfort, but also the thing that quietly keeps them from evolving. From changing direction. From feeling fully themselves. From stepping into a fuller expression of who they are becoming. 


This program isn't just about not drinking. 


It's about exploring why that inner voice has been getting louder.

What in your life has been asking for attention?

What wants to shift, grow or be born?

What no longer fits, and what's waiting underneath?


Throughout the 16 weeks we don't just work on changing your relationship with alcohol. We create space to uncover what alcohol has been muting, postponing or keeping at bay, and gently support the deeper changes your system has been asking for. 


Quitting alcohol is not the end goal here. 

It's the doorway.
