From Bartender to Alcohol Freedom Coach

For 12 years I was a bartender, watching how addictive alcohol can be while at the same time I was one of its victims. I know all too well the good, the bad and the ugly about alcohol. You see, I was on the dark road to destruction until one day it all changed. I had lost my sense of self and was fearful of my life's direction. At 54, depression had set in, and I was using alcohol to cope daily. I was desperate for change. I knew that alcohol had taken control, and I was its prisoner. Then, one day, I discovered the key to free myself from the chains that bound me. Guided by a science-based methodology, I broke free from the cocoon I had been living in for so many years. I left the alcohol train behind and stepped into a life of true freedom and vitality. The transformative changes I experienced inspired me to become a coach, to guide others towards a better life—one not dictated by alcohol, but filled with hope, peace, joy and love. Years ago, the thought of a day without alcohol was unimaginable; now, the thought of a day with it is inconceivable. Through what I have learned from a grace-led, science-based approach and Affective Liminal Psychology, I will help you cut back, moderate or eliminate alcohol completely. You are empowered to choose what you want and control your desire around alcohol based upon what we will work on together.

About Me...

  • I am a mother of four adult children, with my youngest in college. I am divorced and living as an empty nester—though I can't say I'm entirely alone, as I have six cats who keep me company.
  • As a proud graduate of the University of Alabama, I absolutely love my alma mater, especially during college football season, which is my favorite time of year. One thing is for sure: now that alcohol isn't controlling my life, I am actually able to remember the games I watch!
  • My career has been diverse, with experience in advertising sales, business ownership, and bartending in the restaurant industry. I now truly believe I’ve found my calling with coaching.
  • In my spare time, I love to golf, and I must admit, my game is improving without the beer in my cooler. I also enjoy pickleball, yoga, hiking, dancing, music, and have recently taken up knitting, which I love!
  • Prior to finding my freedom from alcohol, I was a big-time partier, always with a beer in my hand. I love that my life has dramatically changed now that alcohol no longer controls me, allowing me to live life on my own terms!
  • To listen to my podcast interviews or read about me in the newspaper: 
I have the experience to guide people through personal transformations.
