Managing alcohol takes up a lot of mental space. I’ve been there.

Deep down, you are sick and tired of how alcohol is making you feel mentally and physically, constantly living down in the rabbit hole.

Instead, you want to be living a life with more joy and happiness, looking upwards, head held high.

If you’re ready to live a different life, one with more joy and fulfillment but don’t know where to start, look upwards. I’m here to help you.

I’ve been where you are.

I’ve also been standing in the gym wondering how I was going to get through yet another workout with a hangover. In the past I’ve cancelled many appointments with my trainer at the last minute because I just didn’t have the strength or energy. I eventually realized that the way forward was without alcohol and with my trainer, my physio, my coach by my side. I put myself first.

How do you replenish at the end of your day, how do you reclaim your energy? Being here, you understand that instead of coaching or training someone else, it’s time for a coach just for you. Let me stand with you to help you put yourself first.

Testimonials from happy clients

Helen L.

Client

"Before I quit drinking and while I was searching and searching for answers and help, I reached out to Lisa… after I had read that she had been sober for six years… How can I describe how absolutely wonderful it was to have her not only listen to me, non‑judgmentally, but also to help me and guide me along my path. She recommended books, sent me many links for podcasts and was there for me daily, despite our drastically different time zones. She shared with me her story, letting me know that she completely understood where I was coming from. If it wasn't for Lisa, who was there for me from Day 1, I'm not sure I would have made it. And now, almost 8 months sober, I don't talk to her daily but I know without any doubt that if I message her, she will get right back to me."

Heather P.

Client

"I am so grateful that I connected with Lisa at the beginning on my sober journey. Lisa provided me with a safe space and offered emotional support, encouragement and the resources to build a better tool box so I could succeed in my alcohol free life. She was understanding and compassionate, yet challenged me to be the best version of myself. Lisa was very attentive and responsive with our communication despite a very big time zone difference. I felt she genuinely cared about my recovery. She taught me just how important self-care is in my new sobriety and different ideas for incorporating a better self-care regimen. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a sober lifestyle coach."

Lisa C.

Client

"I started one on one coaching with Lisa after going a few weeks without having a drink to having a binge weekend. I reached out to her at the end of one of those weekends. I was so mad at myself and I just couldn't understand why I had decided to have that "one drink" yet again. I think the thing I remember most about that day was how she took control. She said "ok, I know you can do this but you keep slipping. Let's figure this out." She came up with a 30 day plan. Her hard and fast rule is that you are honest with her. She can help you achieve your goal, but not if you are hiding things from her. Lisa coaches with the perfect amount of grace and tough love. She seems to know when you need a pat on the back or when you need a little push to move forward. Something wonderful happened to me in those 30 days with Lisa. Alcohol became small and irrelevant in my life. I have done a lot of work to get to this point, but the one on one coaching helped seal the deal. My life is so wonderful without alcohol looming around and getting in the way. Lisa was a big part of helping me achieve this.

My biggest takeaway from one on one coaching was the accountability and access to a coach everyday…We had weekly Zoom calls to discuss what had taken place the last week and make plans for me for the upcoming week. We not only discussed alcohol, we discussed nutrition, exercise, supplements, books that she thought would be helpful, basically everything that would help me to get to a place where alcohol no longer took priority in my life. Lisa took a holistic approach and looked at the whole picture. She was concerned with every facet of my life, not just getting me to a place where I didn't feel the need to drink anymore. This is something that only one on one coaching could achieve. It truly changed my life's trajectory and I couldn't be more grateful."

My Story

Born and bred in Brisbane, Australia. Happily married. Always had interesting jobs and good friends but here I was in this seemingly never-ending habit of self‑destruction. How had I let it get this bad?

In September 2014 I found myself at a crossroads, well and truly ready for change after multiple “rock bottoms”. What happened then? Did I change overnight? Did I learn moderation?

I began a journey of discovery, learning new skills and new behaviours. It was a bit like learning to walk again, I had to learn a whole new skill set to manage life, define my self-worth without labels, blame or guilt.

Busy living life like it was always meant to be lived, I didn’t include alcohol in my decision-making. I looked for the things that had fallen off my radar that brought me joy; I began living a life of gratitude. For the first time, I put my mental and physical health first. I turned my life around using the This Naked Mind methodology combined with practicing mindfulness, exercise and a restored healthy lifestyle.

Happily a non-drinker since September 2014, I realised my life’s purpose was to give back and the best way to do that was to become a life coach. Excited about habit change, I obtained certifications through Bee Sober, the This Naked Mind Institute and with Jolene Park’s Gray Area Drinking coach program.

If you think we’ll make a good team, let’s get started now and book a free Discovery Call.
