I'm so glad
you're here!
Maybe you’re here because your story looks a little like mine…
Back in 2017, I was living life on a hamster wheel. Juggling the relentless tasks of working, parenting, trying to keep on top of the housework, exercising when I could, 400 open tabs in my brain that never seemed to close and drinking wine at the end of the day to switch off.
From the outside, everything looked ‘fine’. Inside, I was exhausted and heading straight for burnout.
While wine started as a great solution, over time it was taking it’s toll - my anxiety was increasing, my sleep was terrible, my hormones were all over the place, I was constantly tired and impatient, putting on weight and feeling lethargic and low.
And I felt like I was slowly losing the energy and motivation to be the mum, wife and friend I wanted to be.
I remember thinking, again and again:
"Is this it?

I didn't know it, but I was a classic
GREY AREA DRINKER
I knew I wasn't an "alcoholic," but I knew my drinking wasn't healthy either - and I wasn't able to sustain any long-term change.
I didn't drink every day. I could take breaks when I wanted to. But I couldn’t stay stopped and my drinking always crept right back to where it was.
I was still highly functioning in my life. But behind the scenes, alcohol was quietly taking far more from me than it was giving.
Eventually, I realised something important: alcohol wasn't the only issue. In fact, alcohol had become the SOLUTION for stress, overwhelm, loneliness, sadness and any uncomfortable emotion I ever felt. And under all that, my nervous system was depleted, my neurotransmitters were out of balance, and I'd lost the habits and resources that help us actually feel well as women over 40.
That realisation changed the way I approached my own wellbeing - and it's the foundation of the work I now do with women around the world.
Because changing your relationship with alcohol isn't just about removing something from your life.
It's about rebalancing your brain chemistry, rebuilding your inner resources, and creating a life that genuinely feels good to live, so you don’t need to rely on alcohol anymore.
I love this work more than anything in the world and have supported thousands of women change their drinking and change their lives.

Changing my drinking
CHANGED MY LIFE!
2019
Changing my drinking for good in April 2019 turned out to be one of the greatest gifts I've ever
given myself.
What I discovered surprised me. When alcohol was no longer in the picture, everything began
to change - my sleep, my anxiety, my energy, my clarity, and the way I showed up in my life.
Ultimately I was just SO MUCH HAPPIER. Which was ironic as I thought alcohol was the
only thing to bring happiness into my life.
I felt more connected to myself than I had in years!
2020
For many women, especially as we move into our 40s and beyond, there comes a moment when we start asking deeper questions about how we want to live - about our health, our values, and how we spend our time and energy.
That realisation led me to train with Jolene Park and become one of the world's first accredited coaches in Grey Area Drinking.
2021
I started working with women across the globe who didn’t identify as ‘alcoholic’ but knew their drinking wasn’t serving them either.
My first 30-Day Alcohol Reset Challenge launched in 2021, and since then, I’ve supported over 12,000 women from all over the world through my challenges!
2024
My book Beyond Booze launched in 2024 in major bookstores worldwide and became an instant best seller, which has helped thousands more women too.
2026
I launched the Stronger, Bolder, Wiser podcast, and it hit the Top 5 Podcast within 3 days!
