Are you tired of feeling trapped by your drinking, drowning in shame, and tired of navigating this tricky path all alone?
I know I was!
Well, my friend, take a deep breath because I'm here to tell you that you're not alone.
I’m Whitney, a board certified health and wellness coach with years of experience helping women just like you. Together, we will craft a rock-solid recovery plan to get you on track toward a fun and meaningful life without alcohol. I’ll be here to guide you every step of the way with loving encouragement and non-judgmental accountability.
You’re pretty sure if anyone knew, really knew how you drink they would call you a failure for not being able to keep it under control.
News flash!! You aren’t a failure, but you are…
Tired of waking up and wondering how that glass of chardonnay turned into a bottle
Sick of reaching for the Advil and TUMS as soon as the sun comes up
Over the 2am mental fire drill of wondering “what the hell did I say or do last night?”
Ready for a change!!
You know you want to stop drinking but wonder if you’re the only one out there who is reading all the quit lit, listening to all the podcasts, following all the inspiring social media accounts and still drinking!
I’m Whitney and I work with women just like you to make a solid plan to stop drinking. Together we design your unique recovery road map and I walk with you, cheer you on, and keep you on track. No judgment. No shame.
Just connection, encouragement and accountability.
You’ve tried it all…
You’ve tried putting rules around your drinking
(So. Many. Rules.)
I’ll only drink on the weekends
I’ll only have 2 drinks when I do drink
I’ll have a glass of water between each drink
I’ll freeze the wine fridge keys in a jar of water so I can’t easily get to the wine (maybe this was just me : )
You’ve thought about AA (but, OMG, what if someone recognizes me?!?). You’ve tried online meeting spaces but felt lost in the crowd of zoom squares and too scared to speak up so what the hell am I even here for anyway?!?
You’ve tried Dry January, Sober October and Dry July only to slip half-way through and throw in the towel. Or maybe you can stop but you always go back to drinking like you were before so why stop in the first place?
You’ve tried everything you know to try but you feel “all over the map” in your recovery efforts and you just want someone to help you figure out what the hell to do already.
I too used to wake up in the morning wondering how I finished an entire bottle of wine when I only meant to have a glass.
I too used to wake up in the middle of the night, heart pounding, covered in sweat, panicking over what the hell happened last night (hello cartwheels in the neighbor’s backyard, dressed up like a University of Alabama cheerleader for Halloween - sorry ‘bout that ‘Bama).
I too used to live on coffee and Advil to shake out the cobwebs from the night before.
I knew I wanted to stop but I couldn’t bear the thought of exhanging the comfort and security of my home for a formal rehab program. I knew I wanted to stop but I just couldn’t figure out how to make myself do it already!
I couldn’t, that is, until I put some structure around my plan to stop.
I quit drinking in January of 2017 by treating my recovery like a project that my life depended on (because, let’s face it, my life did depend on it). I set up a structured plan and figured out how to hold myself accountable to my fledgling habits.
Life was so much better on the other side of my drinking that I decided to leave my work as a Physician Assistant and move into the world of coaching so that I could help other women find the connection, encouragement and accountability they need to stop drinking. Along the way, I’ve built a couple of coaching programs for health tech start-ups, gotten a national board certification in health and wellness coaching and coached 100s of women like you.
I have found that life without alcohol is brighter, calmer, happier, and more satisfying than I could have imagined.
I have more confidence (because I’m not always worrying I’m going to make an ass of myself)
I have more brain space (because I’m not always thinking about how to not drink so much)
I have more peace (because living the way I was living was chaotic and just plain HARD)
