Are you in a position where you've developed an unhealthy habit of having a few drinks almost every night?
And even though you know you can do without it, you find it very hard to follow through on cutting back or quitting because you don't actually know how to unwind and release the pressure of the day without it?
Perhaps you find yourself in places and self-sabotaging situations… over and over again. Feeling guilt and anxiety over the dumb things you say and do when drinking and you have a hard time stopping once you start?

Or perhaps, like others, you've already stopped drinking but discovered the deeply disappointing truth that quitting isn’t enough on its own…You wind up adopting other coping mechanisms or lashing out at loved ones because you don’t know how to be happy anymore? Or what actually makes you happy?
Something has to change. Deep down you know it.
Wherever you are, you're starting to understand that drinking doesn't make things better - it just puts them off until they get too bad to ignore anymore. You are worried that things will get worse, and a recalibration feels urgent. There's a lot at stake when you think about it – your career... your relationships... your health... your happiness.
I know that on paper, you’re successful. You're happily married, have beautiful kids, the house, a car, good job. And I know nothing feels quite the way you thought it would feel. You feel one-dimensional in some ways and are limiting your ambition, and a transition in life feels imminent, but you are not sure how to move forward.
It doesn't feel as serious as alcoholism, but it's an unhealthy habit you find challenging to let go of – and it’s become a huge distraction and stops you from being the person you wish to be.
What most people don't know is that there is more than one kind of alcohol problem.
We're all familiar with alcoholism, a chemical addiction. But for so many drinkers, alcohol is a non-addicted coping mechanism, a habit that is challenging to let go of because it provides a powerful and much-needed escape from unprocessed emotions. However, it's also that exact same thing that makes it a huge distraction and stops you from being the person you wish to be.
You can't escape your life and, at the same time, experience the success, connection, and happiness you desire.
Those unprocessed emotions you’ve been numbing for years — the one’s you started drinking to avoid — are still there, waiting for you.
Trapped in your body, they impact your physical, mental, and emotional health and cost us relationships, health, happiness, time, energy, and money.
Letting go of alcohol is hard because it means learning to let your feelings in (and back out again) fully. And for most of us, that’s hard.
Part of you knows it’s those same unprocessed emotions stopping you from moving forward. Part is knowing whenever you've tried before, you've always wound up back where you started. And part of it is that however uncomfortable it is where you are now, part of you is frightened those feelings will be even more uncomfortable.
I want you to know that it is NOT because you lack willpower, you're weak, can't cope, or any of the things the critical voice in your head has ever told you.
It's because we live in a toxic culture that teaches us to suppress our pain and numb our emotions with alcohol and unhealthy habits instead of teaching us how to be with them, release them, and grow through them. A culture that fuels the voice inside our heads with self-damaging stories and beliefs.
Breaking up with alcohol can feel scary because it's a counter-culture shift.
It's a shift towards YOU.
A shift into your power. Your freedom. Your joy.
Your ability to love and be loved and find more purpose and fulfillment in life.
What creates this shift?
Deep work.
It's intensive. It's vulnerable. It's deep, transformational work.
It's about deconstructing your relationship with alcohol and learning to process and release your trapped emotions so you can...
~ Stop drinking and find happiness without alcohol
~ Release guilt, blame, and shame that is keeping you stuck
~ Experience more joy and connection in your relationships
~ Step into your full potential financially and take work and finances to another level
~ Feel deeply confident in your skin and in control of your wellbeing
The work I do with my clients and in my programs is similar to a fitness program but emotional and spiritual. We spend so much time bettering our bodies on the outside, together, we'll recalibrate your experience of being in the world from the inside.

I am 100% proof of what's possible when you break up with alcohol.
Sobriety was never part of the plan. I stopped drinking when a business coach suggested that alcohol kept me from my desired relationships and success. When I embraced sobriety and started sharing my story, it inspired others, and clients started showing up like magic. This paved the way for helping others going through a similar journey, transforming my business forever.
I was already a Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) Practitioner, Breathwork Practitioner, and Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) Practitioner — I had spent years mastering tools like these to help people with emotions and relationships, but I hadn’t figured out how I was truly supposed to bring them into my business.
Within six months of quitting drinking, healing, and starting over in a completely new business (in a new niche, with a new ideal client and a totally new offer), my calendar was fully booked with the most aligned clients, and I was working with more joy and ease than ever before.
Using my healing journey, growth experiences, and honed skills, I’ve created a process to support outwardly successful men and women to free themselves from their unhealthy relationship with alcohol and take practical steps to create a life of more joy, happiness, success, and fulfillment.

Nicole helped me develop several amazing tools which allow me to recognize when I'm falling in a rut or heading in a direction that doesn't really fit where I want to be. I'm able to get myself back on track quickly, and some of my best moments now come when I've worked through a difficult moment or emotion instead of avoiding it or numbing it out.
Monica
We started working on past trauma through tapping, EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique), meditations, journaling, and just talking. As we worked on different ways to release stuck trauma, I felt a light come back into my life. My chest physically felt lighter and lighter. As of now, I’m 15 months sober. My focus has completely shifted from living a daily sober life, to living the beautiful life of my dreams.

I was sold on Nicole from the beginning, and I didn't expect to have such a connection and deep support right when I needed it, which was so important in early sobriety. I'm over 6 months sober from alcohol (and counting) and confidently identify as an alcohol-free person. I am a different person when it comes to my relationship with alcohol, and I am so much nicer to myself; my body feels good, and I physically and mentally feel so much better. When it comes to facing challenges, I now have a different view on navigating them, and I now have the tools to keep moving forward.
Dennis
I feel that the obsession with drinking has been lifted. It's difficult to explain, and initially, I wasn't sure if Nicole's process would work for me as it was something I had never experienced before, but I have to say it worked. We identified the root cause of why I was drinking, and I've learned many tools that I will continue using to help calm my mind and body and take away the stress and pressure from life.
Don
Hands down, Nicole’s kind, authentic and non-judgmental approach to addressing very difficult to discuss topics was my favorite part of working with her. She has been through a similar journey of her own and can empathize with others in an authentic way. Knowing that she was available if I needed her and knowing she understood my situation helped me feel safe, understood, and supported. I did not have that before, and it was a huge missing piece to being successful. I needed to know someone had my back in this process, and her approach provided that, and I will be forever grateful for it.
