TESTIMONIALS

"I've been alcohol free for just over a month now"

"If you are struggling with changing your alcohol habits and need an encouraging and supportive coach in your corner, helping you stay on track, remain positive and helping you believe you can succeed, give Carlie a call I highly recommend her program.

Her in person support, the weekly meetings and daily check-ins really helped me as I find the accountability very helpful.

I have tried a few online programs, and though they are helpful, I personally find local in person consultation, so much more individually caring, helpful and supportive.

I have been enjoying being fully alcohol free for just over a month now, which for me is amazing!! I plan to continue this way, but I know if I am feeling wobbly I will likely reach out to Carlie again.

Just give it a shot!" - Alison

"My husband and mum have also stopped drinking"

"Working with Carlie made the transition from drinking heavily almost every day to absolutely not even wanting to drink easy!

I never thought I could do it, but knowing that Carlie was always there to keep me accountable, assist me to reflect on my drinking habits and support me when I felt triggered to drink was so valuable. It was really good to have another sober person to message after work!

Now I am actually maintaining an exercise routine, & I don't feel guilty about going to work hungover. My husband and mum have also stopped drinking and my sister has cut back. My kids are super happy and proud of us for not drinking, and have made comments about never wanting us to drink again. I believe I have also personally grown by just removing the alcohol.

I could have never done this without Carlie." - Jolene

"I felt like someone was cheering for me"

"From the moment I made the phone call I honestly didn’t think this would work for me. I knew I needed to change as my drinking was out of control. The next 6 weeks just having Carlie checking in really helped, I felt like someone was cheering for me.

At first, I was like - yeah ok, I will listen and read the follow up email, but I was still drinking. In week 4 I decided I would try 3 AF days that week. I wanted to say 4, but I didn’t want to fail. I didn’t drink on the Monday & I still haven’t had a drink as I am writing this 19 days later!

This is my longest time without a drink since I was 19 years old, I’m 47 now.

I was so comfortable with Carlie, and towards the last few weeks I couldn’t wait to tell her how I smashed my goals.

The small price I paid saved me and brought a whole new outlook on life for me and my boys. Make the call you’ve got nothing to lose.." - Kylie

"My life is so much better"

"I have always walked a fine line with alcohol and whilst I thought I was on the line that I was still a responsible drinker, it wasn’t until alcohol started affecting my work performance that I truly realised I needed help. I tried many times to cut back and stop on my own, constantly letting myself and those around me down, before I finally gave credit to the fact that I needed help to stop.

Since starting coaching with Carlie, my mind set towards alcohol has definitely changed. My life is so much better, I am more productive without it and I am a much nicer, kind and involved person without it.

My life, health, relationships and work are all drastically improved. I am working on goals I had shelved for a long time.

I found Carlie so easy to work with.

I would absolutely recommend Carlie over and over again!! The coaching with her has forever changed my life positively." - Shaelene

"my sober curious journey is now more exciting

than actually drinking"

"I had done dry Januarys, 100 days sober etc and never found it difficult but also, had gone back to similar drinking patterns - wine o clock with mum friends, having that fuzzy feeling a couple of times a week and of course the 'oh shit what did I say last night' moments.

I found Carlie incredibly easy to talk to. I think her ability to hold a safe space for you to examine the why and how you drink without making any judgements is a key reason to work with her.

The supportive sessions with Carlie and her follow up emails have motivated me to continue this journey.

I have no doubt I will enjoy a glass of fizz at some point again, but thanks to Carlie I find continuing my sober curious journey is more exciting than actually drinking.

Whether you want to quit, moderate or explore your alcohol use, spending 6 sessions with Carlie is an investment in yourself, your liver, your bank balance and your life." - Annie

"all the people around me get a better version of me"

"Alcohol was such a large part of my everday life, everything I did had alcohol intertwined in some way.

I would say that aside from being pregnant, since I was 15, I haven't had a week without it.

I truly believed that because I didn't drink every day and or get up and drink in the mornings, I was fine and didn't have a problem.

Since the day I committed to "having a break" from alcohol I have not struggled. I truly believe that is due to the support, accountabilty, and personalised approach Carlie takes.

I sleep better, therefore I am awake better, I laugh, I feel, I think, I work better, I switch off when I'm not working better, play better, listen and act calmly. So all the people around me get a better version of me. I get a better version of me, and therefore have no need, want or desire to drink.

If alcohol is a part of your life and you are trying to work out where to start to make improvements within yourself, finances, relationships, health. This is where you start. Call Carlie!!" - Rita
