Carlie Jaye Johnson is an addiction recovery coach for mums, embodying a beacon of hope for the new wave of sober-curious mamas, empowering them to trust their instincts and cultivate healthier habits for themselves and their families.

As a mother of two who became a mum of four overnight in 2023, spending the next 18 months as the full-time kinship carer to her young niece and nephew, Carlie’s journey to an alcohol-free lifestyle since January 2021 deeply resonates with her clients.

Having struggled with moderation herself, Carlie found a breakthrough after seeking guidance from a sober coach, a pivotal decision that fueled her own transformation. Now equipped with certifications in Addiction Recovery and Matrescence, Carlie integrates her skills and life experience to support mums navigating similar challenges through her 1:1 coaching packages, weekly recovery-focused art workshops, monthly sober sister circles, and vibrant Facebook community.

These days, far from the confines of the kitchen with a drink in hand, Carlie can be found along the esplanade rollerblading with her daughter or immersed in her home art studio, where she brings her vibrant spirit to life on canvas.
