What is a Sober Coach?

If you are taking your first steps or looking for support to stay motivated, a sober coach provides accountability and practical support to help you get there - regardless of whether your aim is to cut back, take a break or stop drinking altogether.

Hi, I’m Melise

When I stopped drinking 20 years ago, I thought life without alcohol would be dull and boring, as I just couldn’t picture it any other way. So it was important I had support from other women doing the same; this made all the difference.

I created Sober Coaching for Women to help other women change their relationship with alcohol, because I know it’s possible, and it doesn’t have to be done alone. My approach is pragmatic, flexible and built around your actual life.

Whether you want to stop drinking completely or just cut down, I’m here to walk with you. There is no pressure and no judgement, just support and real-life tools that work.

What is Sober Coaching

I often describe a sober coach as being like a personal trainer. Just as you employ a personal trainer to help reach your fitness goals, a sober coach helps you develop a practical plan to achieve your alcohol use goals. We use coaching to improve so many areas of our lives - from fitness to career. Changing your relationship with alcohol is no different.
