Find Your Confidence & Reclaim
Your Life
Helping female professionals reduce stress, create balance, and regain control - without relying on alcohol.
Hi There, I’m Annie, Great to Meet You….
Struggling with wine o’clock? Finding that alcohol is creeping in more than you'd like? You’re not alone.
I am a sobriety, confidence, and life coach who helps people rethink their relationship with alcohol and achieve their life goals - without pressure or judgment.
With over 30 years in healthcare, I understand the relentless juggle of work, family, and stress—and how easy it is to reach for a glass (or two or three) to unwind. After experiencing post-pandemic burnout, I chose to step away from alcohol in 2021 and discovered just how freeing life can be without it.
Inspired by the resilience of the pandemic rainbow and the spirit of cheering each other on, I bring the same encouragement to my clients - helping them find their own pot of gold.
If you're ready to explore life beyond alcohol, I will guide you toward healthier ways to relieve stress, reclaim balance, and rediscover joy on your own terms.
My Approach & Offerings
I provide transformative, compassionate, tailored coaching designed to help you reclaim balance, clarity, and control in both your professional and personal life.
By examining your relationship with alcohol, we will uncover how it impacts your stress levels, emotional well-being, and overall fulfilment. My mission is to empower professional women to break free from the cycle of overwhelm, reduce work and life stress, and cultivate emotional resilience.
Through holistic self-care practices, boundary-setting, and mindset shifts, I will guide you toward a healthier, more sustainable way of living - where you will feel energised, present, and in control.
My coaching services include but aren’t limited to:
Alcohol-Free Coaching
Confidence Coaching
Life & Empowerment Coaching
What Are the Benefits of an Alcohol-Free Life?
Better Sleep – Wake up feeling truly rested, with deeper, more restorative sleep.
More Energy – No more sluggish mornings or afternoon crashes—just steady, natural energy.
Clearer Skin – Alcohol dehydrates and inflames the skin. Going alcohol-free can lead to a brighter, healthier complexion.
Balanced Mood & Mental Clarity – Reduce anxiety, improve focus, and feel more emotionally steady.
Healthier Hormones – Alcohol disrupts hormone balance, which is especially important during peri-menopause and menopause.
Weight Loss & Improved Digestion – Fewer empty calories and better gut health mean a happier, healthier body.
Stronger Immune System – Your body can fight off illness more effectively when it's not processing alcohol.
Better Relationships – Connect more deeply with loved ones, free from the emotional ups and downs of drinking.
More Time & Money – Reclaim the hours lost to hangovers and the money spent on drinks.
True Relaxation & Joy – Discover healthier ways to unwind and have fun—without relying on alcohol.

“I was extremely fortunate to have had coaching with Annie.
Not only does she radiate enthusiasm for an alcohol-free life, but she has struggled with alcohol herself in the past and has had numerous day 1’s which so many of us can relate to. She is friendly, empathic, and inspiring and her relaxing manner makes her very easy to talk to.
Not only did she help me with my relationship with alcohol, but also to look at the bigger picture in terms of self-development and my future plans. ”
