Wine isn't the problem—it's what you've been using wine FOR.

I help midlife women quit drinking and reclaim their aliveness by getting back into their bodies, reconnecting with their erotic life force, and remembering who they are beneath the desire to drink.

Most people hear "erotic" and think sexual. But that's not what I mean.

Erotic energy is your LIFE FORCE—your passion, curiosity, full engagement with being alive.

Think about a time when you felt completely turned ON by life. Not sexually, but ALIVE. Engaged. Present. Curious. That's erotic energy.

Most women at midlife have lost it, and wine becomes a substitute.

You don’t have a drinking problem. You have an aliveness problem.

Download this free 9-page guide and discover what wine has been doing for you and what you're really thirsty for.

You know you should stop drinking. So why do you keep pouring the glass?

Your smart brain says "don't drink."

But by 5pm, your body says "I NEED this."

This isn't weakness. This is your nervous system trying to survive.

Because wine isn't about wine. It's about:

Finally relaxing after holding it together all day
Feeling like the fun, alive version of yourself
Having permission to be messy when you're supposed to be perfect
Accessing parts of yourself you've lost

Until you understand what wine does FOR you and reclaim those parts? Sobriety will feel like deprivation.

WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT

This isn't surface-level sobriety.

Most sobriety programs focus on NOT drinking—willpower, day counters, accountability apps.

I focus on what you've been using wine FOR.

I combine:

Brain science — Understand WHY you keep drinking even when you don't want to
Body-based practices — Breathwork, somatic work, nervous system regulation so you can actually feel your feelings
Parts work — Meet the versions of yourself wine gives you access to and learn to be her sober

This isn't about white-knuckling. This is about getting back in your body and reclaiming the parts of yourself you've been hiding.

Who I Am

I'm a sobriety coach, but not the kind you're thinking of.

I don't believe in white-knuckling your way through cravings. I believe sobriety is about getting back in your body, reclaiming your aliveness, and remembering who you are beneath the wine.
