Sober Coaching

Hi, I’m Mel, and I’m so glad you’re here!

As an accredited sober coach, I help people who are stuck in the alcohol trap. Maybe you’ve realized that what was once a social lubricant has turned into an emotional crutch – one that’s doing more harm than good.

 

It’s not your fault. Alcohol is an incredibly addictive substance that impacts all aspects of our lives, from our health and well-being to our relationships and career – sometimes all at once. If you’re here, you’ve probably become uncomfortably aware of that.

 

The good news is, you don’t have to stay stuck!

 

And here’s a secret: sobriety doesn’t have to be the white-knuckling slog it’s made out to be either. I’ve been where you are. I was convinced that ditching the booze meant living in shades of grey. But to my surprise, I discovered the exact opposite.

 

Together, we can craft a life you won’t want to escape from.

Reiki

Like a spa day for the soul, Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that is the perfect complement on your journey to optimal well-being. While we look at your mindset and motivation during our coaching sessions, I also offer Reiki treatments that help soothe frazzled nerves, promote calm and relaxation, and improve sleep.

I discovered this holistic during chemotherapy treatments for ovarian cancer. It infused me with such a sense of peace and stillness in that painful time, it was a revelation. I went on to study the technique, and today I’m a Reiki Master. Find out how Reiki can help you on your path of transformation:

Meeting with Mel 1:1 was exactly what I needed. I have been questioning my relationship with alcohol for some time now, but wavered between not drinking and occasional moderation. Mel is very easy to talk to and I felt immediate comfort in expressing myself. In just a short time, we were able to figure out my true 'why' and create a plan of action in certain situations I have been struggling with. For me, it was highly beneficial and I would sincerely recommend Mel to anyone in the sober curious phase who is ready to do the work and looking for friendly, non-judgmental support.

I was nervous going in, but Melanie’s compassionate approach put me at ease! I’ve been ashamed of the level of my drinking for years, but she helped me realize that it isn’t my fault, and that I don’t have to keep doing what I’ve always been doing. There is another way! If you need help, don’t hesitate to book a session.

Following my Reiki session with Mel, I felt a sense of peace and relaxation that filled my whole body. She was also able to help relax muscles in my body that had been tight for weeks and I felt much better overall after. I highly recommend her services to anyone needing some help to relax, realign their energy or release tension in the body!

My coaching session with Melanie was extremely helpful and gave me the motivation I needed to finally commit to sobriety! And now I know what to do if I find myself struggling. I needed to talk to someone outside of my circle, who could be objective about my situation. Thank you!
– Catherine B.
I had my first experience with Reiki, and it won’t be the last one. What a discovery, I did not know what to expect. I felt so relaxed that I even fell asleep. I strongly recommend it if you have any kind of stress. Thank you, Mel!
