Want to drink like normal people?Â
Discover the secret to living (and socialising) hangover-free, with me âŹď¸
Let me know if this sounds familiar to you. This is how I felt. I had every area of my life under control apart from this one area. I knew that I had this inner knowing that was telling me if I could get alcohol back in line, then I'd start feeling much more aligned with my values. I knew something needed to change, but I didn't know how to take a break or reduce my drinking without it feeling really miserable and feeling really deprived.Â
I wanted alcohol to be a non issue so that I could get on with living my life and live up to my potential. I was sick of waking up at 3 o'clock in the morning feeling crappy about myself. I was sick of waking up saying I wasn't going to drink and then finding myself pouring a drink in the evening. I wanted to feel proud of myself again.Â
Maybe you feel like that. Maybe you're in need of a little reset!
Struggling to drink less, even when you promise yourself you will?

Why now?
Â
Because you matter.
Weâre in mid-life, you and me, and our wrinkles are the least of our worries! As our oestrogen supply dwindles, we just donât have the same capacity to pour ourselves endlessly into jobs, partners, kids, and parents.Â
Our anxiety is through the roof, our libido is down the toilet, we canât sleep, and we canât remember why we went to the fridge.
Alcohol used to be our friend and now it seems to make everything so much worse! Hangovers are unspeakably awful, and we get completely plastered so much more easily. Not only that, but the booze is busy exacerbating the symptoms of our midlife hormone changes and eroding our physical and mental health.Â
Weâre at a real crossroads.
So, what if â on a nurturing journey over five evenings â you could join a qualified counsellor, psychotherapist, and alcohol coach to discover how to change your relationship with alcohol.
What if there was a middle ground between never drinking again, and drinking every now and then, that felt really good? What if there was a paradigm-shifting journey you could take, that would change your relationship with booze to one where you can take it or leave, so that alcohol became small and irrelevant in your life?
What if there was another way to be in this world, that reduced your anxiety, decreased your mental load, improved your mental health and felt like walking into a great big hug where someone made you a cup of tea and offered to do your washing for you? To take care of you??!
Join me for five glorious, fun-filled evenings of research-based knowledge sharing, journalling and practical tips for changing your relationship with booze for the better.
What if you just did it? For YOU.Â

Hi, I'm Emma
A deeply feminist counsellor and coach, helping mid-life bad ass women find their groove without booze.
The having it all myth ...
The pressure on women in mid-life is insane.
We grew up with Madonna on our Walkmans, ‘Working Girl’ at the cinema and ‘we can have it all’ expectations.
Fast forward twenty years and we have been all the things the mum, the wife, the career woman.
Running full throttle on caffeine, booze and adrenaline for so long, we are literally ‘Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown’.
It all came to a head for me in 2018 when I suffered burnout from years of chronic stress and I had to leave my corporate career.
After, countless drunken cab rides and trips to the emergency, my eldest child told me to stop bringing wine into the bedroom at storytime as it was making them feel anxious, it really hit home...
I retrained as a counsellor and psychotherapist, stopped drinking and became an alcohol coach to help other women on the same trajectory.
You have done your share of looking after everybody else...
Â
You are ready to step into your personal power and start loving and nurturing yourself.Â
Now - it's time for you to GET RESULTS!Â
I'm inviting you to work with me over 5 days and really understand why itâs not about pushing and punishing ourselves into change - has that approach worked so far? I didnât think so.Â
I took my first successful break from booze using this method, and I have never looked back. It WORKS! You just have to be curious and open to a different way. If you're wanting to take a break and not feel like you are missing out, read on, I've got you covered!

Imagine how it would feel to...
- Be supported on how to take a break from alcohol that feels really good - BEFORE, DURING AND AFTER!
- Learn things about alcohol and yourself that will change the way you think about booze forever and have a knock on effect to all aspects of your life.
- Have a methodical approach to reset your relationship with booze anytime it starts creeping up again. Goodbye feeling sad and restricted!
You deserve a break from booze that feels wonderful, not sad and I am here to show you how to get that!
