"I didn't identify myself as an alcoholic."

I felt I was able to function in my life fairly well with alcohol. However after a tough couple of years I was definitely feeling like it was too big a part of my life. I started dreading social situations because I was so worried about the hangover the next day. I felt like I was a less present mother and I didn't want that anymore. On one particularly bad hangover I messaged Christy, I said that I think I needed to give up alcohol, but also that I didn't want to.

She was awesome, straight away she had my back 'let's do this!' We planned a day to start, and off we went. Once we got going, I found the science behind drinking absolutely fascinating, what is happening chemically to your body from that first glass. It made me feel powerful that these feelings I was experiencing weren't my own weakness', but an actual chemical reaction to an addictive substance. I loved having the mental head space to put towards the rest of my life instead of worrying about how much I was drinking.

Oh and I need to mention the sleep - AMAZING! I learned from Christy that I had been only getting about two hours of quality sleep per night when drinking. After a week of being alcohol-free, I had so much more energy, less anxiety, and felt so much more like myself.

Christy was a huge support. She helped me plan my first girls' night and how to approach my no-drinking with friends. The whole process was actually extremely enjoyable! I felt I could really talk to Christy about my worries and anxieties without judgment. She was right there with me, full of positivity and also with very relatable experiences.

I really feel that the phrase 'it's not about never drinking again it's about not having to' really sums it up for me, what freedom!

Thank you Christy!"

"Having been through AA years ago and the program not resonating or working for me, I was desperate to find another path to sobriety."

Thankfully, I found my way to Christy. Not only has this process brought me the ultimate freedom that I longed for, but I also gained a friend along the way.

Christy is a wonderful listener, teacher, and guide. Her warm approach put me at ease, and I was able to open up and share all of my doubts, struggles, and insecurities without ever feeling shame or judged. "Me too, babe"…was her mantra.

Surprisingly, this process was fun! Christy and I enjoyed many laughs and much joy as we celebrated my breakthroughs and newly sober experiences.

Having a one-on-one coach during the early weeks of my journey was vital to my "success." I am forever grateful!

-Ashley

"The decision I made to contact Christy was one of the best I have ever made!"

She is one of the most passionate and intuitive people I have ever met. She ‘got’ me from the start and tailored the experience so that (incredibly) my impulses towards alcohol have diminished. At the start, I wanted to lose weight, sleep, and have glowing skin. I got those and more: for the first time, I saw my future filled with clarity, adventure, laughter, and being present with my family. If you are looking for a breakthrough, I cannot recommend Christy enough.

-Chloe

"I would recommend anybody that is interested in going alcohol free to coach with Christy."

Her knowledge, support, and amazing friendship have literally turned my life around. I never thought I could be alcohol-free and happy, but Christy has shown me how. I’m eternally grateful.

-Sophie

"WOW!!!!! I’m still sober!"

When I think about this I’m actually crying. Crying so much, so happy!  I’ve NEVER had 7 days or weekend off booze in over 12 years. Thank you! "

-Poppy

"This completely changed the way I view alcohol."

It gave me the tools to change my behavior. Instead of being deprived, I felt alive and empowered. I have found a new sense of freedom - alcohol doesn’t control my environment or choices- I do. In learning psychology around why we drink and how much, Christy encouraged all of us to stay focused on the positives and showed us all the things we gain when alcohol takes a back seat. I highly recommend this to any woman living in our modern world.

-Amy

"Christy was there when I needed someone who understood the most."

Having her as a coach was a game-changer for me. She talked me through each day with no judgment, full understanding, and contagious positivity. I looked forward to the daily videos, journaling, and assignments. Even after completing the first 30 days, I knew I wanted more of the knowledge Christy had to share. I appreciate the open communication and knowing I had a friend in my corner at all times. I know I wouldn’t be where I am today (happy and excited about living alcohol-free!) without Christy. She is truly a forever friend.

-Morgan

"This was life changing!"

"Christy is supportive, non-judgmental, knowledgeable, and talking to her is like chatting with a friend. She’s been exactly where you are now. There is absolutely no pressure to make binding lifelong decisions, she just sees you through the 30 days and you come out of it 100x better! Highly recommend. "

-Katie

"I would recommend anybody that is interested in going alcohol-free to coach with Christy."

Her knowledge, support, and amazing friendship have literally turned my life around. I never thought I could be alcohol-free and happy, but Christy has shown me how. I’m eternally grateful.

-Sophie

"I’m currently 7.5 months sober and can’t quite believe it!"

Thank you for helping me put an end to the miserable trying-to-moderate, falling-off-the-wagon cycle. I have so much more headspace for what matters now, not to mention better sleep, more clarity, and a sense of freedom. What a gift!

There were some days I didn’t feel great before a call, but regardless of how I felt before, I would never fail to leave a call with Christy without feeling lighter, more empowered, and usually laughing! You’re a total star, and I am so grateful to have found you when I did. Thank you, Christy!” 

- Chloe

Life-changing doesn’t even begin to describe the change you started in my life, and I thank you, and I thank God from the bottom of my heart."

Well, it’s nearly Christmas, and I still haven’t had a drink. I’ve not actually wanted a drink. So many friends ask me, “Are you missing it? Will you have a drink on Christmas day?" NO, NO, AND NO!!!"

Thank you for being there for me at the right time and in the right place.

"Working with Christy feels like chatting with a supportive friend, with no judgment."

She uses thought-provoking dialogue to help you dissect what is going on and why we make the decisions we make around alcohol.

"Some HUGE things I've learned."

Alcohol does not relax me. Alcohol does not make parenting easier. I do not like how alcohol tastes. I do not need alcohol at social events or celebrations to have a good time.

Group coaching with Christy was exactly what I needed, exactly when I needed it. It was so helpful meeting other women who were wading into sobriety along with me. It's amazing how, in many ways, our experiences were universal, and it was comforting to know that I wasn't facing these challenges alone. The group chat and the weekly calls have been an important part of my journey. Before signing up, I was hesitant to spend money on joining the group. My line of reasoning was that I could be sober for free, right? Turns out it was worth every penny. Not once during the past three months did I regret investing in myself or in my sobriety. 1000% it was money very well spent.

I feel like I'm in touch with my true self for the first time in years. I am so much calmer and content. I've been able to stop taking prescription medication for my anxiety because the change in my mood is so profound. I'm so much more present with my kids. The fact that I haven't had "hangxiety" or a hangover in months is worth the cost of the program alone. More than that, I feel like sobriety has launched me into this midlife wellness transformation. It's given me time and energy to ask myself deep questions about what I want out of the rest of my life.

I feel so, so grateful for this journey. 

-Lauren 

"I didn’t identify with the labels I had to assign to my drinking in other programs."

However, in Christy’s program, I felt the freedom to be authentic and choose how I wanted drinking to look in my life. 

Through the weekly coaching, I unpacked the thoughts I was assigning to my need to take a drink, and with Christy’s guidance, I successfully reframed those thoughts into new truths.

When I did stumble during our coaching time together, I didn’t succumb to shame but rather used these data points as instruction and growth rather than failure. 

I can’t recommend Christy's coaching enough if you're seeking a new curiosity about your relationship with alcohol.

– Jill

"I found you while scrolling on Instagram after drinking a bottle of wine."

I was impressed by the insightfulness and relatability of your posts. I think I saw something in you that I wanted.

Hiring a stranger in the UK, whom I found on Instagram, was a complete leap of faith, but I’m so happy I did!! Your insight, time and focus have meant the world to me in this process. 

You’re an amazing listener and always kept the sessions on track. This has always been very impressive to me because I don’t think I’ve ever had a therapist who could do that as well as you. 

You kept it focused but still light-hearted and fun at times. I really enjoyed working with someone who is so insightful and knowledgeable about personal growth.

- Kelly

"I honestly don't know what held me back from doing this years ago!"

I have greater confidence in myself and what I can achieve. My anxiety has gone, I sleep better, I feel I'm a better mum to be around, I have more patience and better skin, and I like myself more!

Christy will hold your hand and support you, and very quickly, you will start to feel the benefits. My only regret is that I hadn't met Christy earlier!

-Emma 

"I woke up this morning and thought, 'Can Life Get Any Better?'"

Something inside me has shifted, and it’s hard to explain. I actually like myself, OMG this is huge for me. I played tennis yesterday for the first time in months, and it’s just fabulous to be back on the court. I’m showing up for Yoga and myself each day. I feel compassion for myself and the inner child I once was. I feel there are endless possibilities ahead for me (where or most of my life I felt trapped). I used alcohol as a way of escaping from that trapped feeling for so long. It’s exciting and slightly scary at the same time.

You have given me the BIGGEST gift helping me to believe in myself, my world is opening up beyond my wildest dreams.

Throughout our coaching together, you continue to hold me in a very safe space, never judgemental, critical, or doubting my abilities.

You really are the best.

-Caroline

"I just really related to you from our very first conversation."

This made it easier for me to envision a life alcohol-free because I saw myself in you. 

You completely changed my outlook on life without alcohol. I was able to really dig deep and learn the reasons why I was drinking and make the choice to not drink rather than just white knuckling each day.

Your program feels good because it's educational but also forgivable.

The biggest transformation is my day-to-day life. I wake up feeling rested and not irritable. I am able to tackle my daily tasks and interact with my children, not needing to nap for 2-3 hours each day because I'm hungover.

My overall quality of life is a million times better, and so is my relationship with my kids." 

- Ainsley

"When I came across Christy's website, I wasn't even sure what I was looking for."

I just knew that my relationship with alcohol needed to change. When we had our initial call, I felt so comfortable opening up to her As an understanding and supportive coach, Christy encouraged me weekly and helped me "unpack" so many feelings I had.

I am honored to now call her a friend, and I can't thank her enough for her guidance on my alcohol-free journey!

-Jess

"I wasn't expecting to become reacquainted with a younger version of myself."

When I was a teenager (before I started drinking), I was more joyful, energetic, hopeful, creative, and closer to God. I started my freedom from alcohol journey more than a year ago and feel like I'm drawing nearer to the person I was when I was 16/17/18 years old. It's sort of like finding an old friend.

It makes me excited for the future in a way that I never was when I was drinking. It feels like I could be on the cusp of an exciting new chapter.

- Lauren

“When I say I am alcohol-free,I am saying I am 100% free from alcohol." 

I don't think about it, I don't crave it, and I don't think it will add value to my life in any conceivable way. I am FREE. Trusting Christy with this was a whole other part of freedom and healing that I never expected to find.

-Brittany

"I cannot believe the turnaround."

My whole attitude to alcohol has changed beyond recognition, and I couldn't be happier about it. 

I'm now looking forward to my staff Christmas party at the end of the school term and the Christmas holidays & New Year, where I can be free from any kind of mental battle involving alcohol. I can choose to drink as little or as much as I like, and I know that my choice will be not to drink at all. And I'm so happy about it!

– Charlotte

"I am transformed, and I know it will continue."

I couldn't have done this without your course. I feel so empowered and in control right now.

It's hard not to shout about this to everyone! You are a lovely lady and an amazing coach, and I am so grateful that I started this journey with you. To get to this point when I have been trying for 2-3 years to just take a break is nothing short of a miracle. I feel like you have saved me.

- Claire

"Having ditched alcohol, I feel unburdened. Phew! At last!"

“The health benefits are evident: my resting heart rate is now below 50 beats per minute, heartburn during morning yoga has disappeared, and my liver stats are stable. My facial skin tone appears more even, my anxiety levels and sleep have improved. My energy and concentration levels are so much better. Consequently, I’ve rediscovered the joy of reading books again. My mood is lighter too as the self-loathing for my lack of discipline has gone.”
