Information about Emma

Hi I'm Emma. A deeply feminist counsellor and coach, helping mid-life bad ass women find their groove without booze. 

I am a counsellor and certified This Naked Mind, Gray Area Drinking & Tuning in to Teens™ parenting coach.  My coaching practice is for parents who want to model a healthy relationship with alcohol for their kids.  I work with people wherever they are on their journey with alcohol and whatever they want their coaching outcome to be: to take a break, to moderate or to go alcohol free. 

My mission is to get rid of the stigma surrounding seeking to change our relationship with alcohol. You will find no shame, blame or judgement in my coaching program. My goal is to help you take back control and find the freedom of making alcohol a small and insignificant part of your life.
