Who I help

Who this is for

You do not have to drink every night, or call yourself an alcoholic, to want a different relationship with alcohol. This is for women, many of them in midlife, who:

  • want to drink less or stop drinking
  • think about drinking even on the days they do not
  • make sincere promises to themselves and watch the same habit return
  • feel the evening pull as relief, a reward, or a way to switch off the day
  • want their faith at the center of their growth

The approach

A faith-centered way to understand the evening

Scripture and prayer

The foundation of everything I teach.

Mind renewal

Romans 12:2 invites us to be transformed by renewing our minds, and I build the work around that call.

Neuroscience of habits

Your brain learns through repetition, so an evening drink can become an automatic response. Seeing the loop of cue, routine and reward gives you something to work with.

Practical coaching tools

Noticing your pattern, practicing alternatives, and choosing differently, one evening at a time, with at-home exercises you can use right away.

My story

I thought I was fighting a habit.

For about 34 years, alcohol was part of how I celebrated, coped, and rested. I stopped drinking on September 23, 2023. The fear was real. The promise was false. I thought I was fighting a habit. God was revealing a pattern.

That discovery is the foundation of Rewired by Grace™. Scripture is the foundation of my work, and I am a Certified Life Coach.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

What is a sober coach?

A coach who supports women in changing their relationship with alcohol through Scripture, neuroscience-based habit education and practical coaching tools. I am a Certified Life Coach, not a counselor, therapist, or physician.

Do I have to drink every day to benefit?

No. Many women I work with drink some nights and not others. What matters is the pull you feel, not the number of drinks.

Is faith part of this?

Yes. Scripture and prayer are the foundation of my work, and you are welcome wherever you are in your faith. You do not need to know the Bible well to begin.

What is the difference between sober coaching and addiction counseling?

Counseling and treatment are provided by licensed professionals and can address medical and clinical needs. Coaching focuses on education, reflection, and practical steps. If you have concerns about your health or safety, please talk with a qualified medical provider. Stopping alcohol suddenly is not safe for everyone, so please speak with a doctor first if you drink heavily or regularly.
