"I came to Sarah when I was  I was stuck in a rut and had become too dependent upon alcohol. Sarah has the experience, the knowledge and the tools to help, I couldn't have done it without her. Today I am 1.5 years alcohol-free."

Jane Sheridan - client Relations Expert - Aus

"I highly recommend Sarah and her coaching program. Sarah's program gave the guidance to not only live a more authentic life alcohol-free but also gave me the tools for a better performing world and relationships to other and myself."

Karen P - NSW

"Who would have thought I could be Alcohol-free?- I certainly didn't.  I have gained so much from working with Sarah.  The alcohol was hurting me and I didn't realize how much damage this was actually doing. Thank you for not ever judging and for always being honest. I have now learned to inspire and believe in myself."Â
