Welcome to your new freedom
Sober & Alive is an online personal sobriety coaching platform for people who want to live sober, and to live well. There is so much more to living sober than just not drinking, and we have over 38 years of experience of how to do it. Whether you have been sober for one day, for many years, or even if you are just sobercurious, we meet you where you are, as you are, and help you to find exactly what you need in your sobriety journey. Alcohol Use Disorder is still widely misunderstood, highly stigmatized, and poorly treated in the long term. People who have AUD are not weak willed or making poor choices. We have a legitimate disorder that can be treated immediately and in the long term. Once a person is safely detoxed, we can start your coaching program which will give you unbelievable relief in less than an hour. Within five days you will have a clear knowledge of your condition and how to treat it effectively on a daily basis. After taking the initial five-day coaching program, you can join as a member and attend our regular support meetings, have access to all the special content for those doing the practice, enjoy discounts on continued coaching, webinars, and other courses related to sobriety and continued health and wellness. Ideally, I like to groove people into the habit over the next eight weeks with weekly sessions, but you can choose your continued support sessions as they fit your lifestyle. During this initial eight weeks, you will also learn the meditation technique that is scientifically proven to reduce current stress, remove stored up stress, and support physical, mental and emotional balance. Sobriety doesn’t have to suck. With expert guidance and community support, you can get unstuck, have a laugh, experience things that once seemed terrifying and impossible with courage and fortitude, and enjoy life like you never thought possible without a drink.
SOBER & ALIVE OFFERS:
COURSES
Our foundational coaching course program is called Grooving a New Habit, the Daily Alignment for Fearless Living. It is a 60 day course designed to install and habituate a simple daily practice that will give you the comfort, power, insight, and resiliency to remain Sober & Alive. You can take the course in sections, or get the best value by signing up for the full course and gain a self-sustaining lifetime practice. We also offer other courses, webinars and retreats pertaining to sobriety, health, wellness and personal growth.
COACHING
Continued personal coaching helps to uphold and reinforce new and healthy habits. Staying connected to someone who is 100% there for you who understands the unique challenges of living sober is invaluable. A coach shares their own sober experience and wisdom to help you cultivate the life that you want to live. It's not about advice, but empowering you to discover and expand your own authentic alcohol-free self.
COMMUNITY
Sober & Alive members enjoy regularly scheduled meetings with sober peers doing the daily alignment practice. We have Circle style support meetings and practice together sessions with knowledge talks over zoom. All members have access to special content knowledge talk recordings. Members get free and discounted rates on courses, continued one-on-one coaching, and access to community where we build friendships and have support in a world where most grown-ups drink.

PART 1
fast fearless freedom
$1200
The initial writing practice, The Fearlessness Writing Technique is very easy to learn. Within the first one hour session, you should start to feel relief immediately. The next best step is to get grounded in the practice with a coach who has done and is doing the practice themselves. The primary 1-to-2-hour installation sessions take place over a 5-day period. You will learn how embedding a daily application of this practice over time will heal the underlying causes that perpetuate an abusive relationship with alcohol. During this time, you will learn why Alcohol Use Disorder is so often misunderstood, and thus not well treated in the long term. You will learn how to address and repair past wounds and harms, how to successfully navigate current stresses, and how to enjoy more mental, emotional, and physical health in daily life. Freedom from fear= freedom from alcohol.
PART 2
VEDIC MEDITATION
Instruction
$1200
This part of the course will show you how to achieve deep rest, improve mental focus and flexibility, and build resilience to handle whatever sober life brings about. Ideally, this will take place during the initial 8-week course. Introduction to VM is a 4-day course with 1.5-hour sessions that must take place in person with a qualified teacher. We are partnered with VM teachers all over the world to be able to schedule something near you. The cost of travel is not included in the course fee. People who have had AUD report a similar experience of relief and bliss that we once felt from drinking alcohol through practice of VM.
PART 3

COACHING SESSIONS
$1500 members
$2500 non member
After the five day installation period, the coaching program extends with ten 1-hour coaching sessions that spread out incrementally until they are weekly. Research suggests that it takes about 66 days to groove a habit, so after the main course grounding sessions, your practice should be automatic and relatively effortless. We encourage continued regular sessions to improve quality of life, but the practice itself is truly self-sustaining.

ABOUT ME
Hello, I am so happy to meet you. I am a sober living coach and social entrepreneur. I have been recovered from active alcoholism (or AUD) since 1987, and further recovered from a miserable sobriety in 1989. I began coaching others once I was shown the concrete tools that I share with people to become truly alcohol free. I never thought that I would be able to feel good without alcohol. I didn’t think I could even smile without a drink, much less talk to anyone, go to a party, on a date, or enjoy anything at all. However, I have done all of those things and so much more. I have had a million times more fun sober than I ever did drinking (and I had a lot of fun drinking). This is all thanks to what I am excited and grateful to get to show you too. I am a mother of two fabulous children and hu-mama of one marvelous dog.

I was introduced to the daily Sober & Alive method 22 years ago, and I have been able to stay sober for that whole time. I don’t miss drinking because the fear, the depression and the self-hatred that made drinking necessary go away with this practice.
