You've Probably Tried to Cut Back...
...made promises, set rules, and found yourself back in the same cycle.

Hi, I'm Joy.
A certified coach and founder of AFreeLife Coaching.
For over 35 years, I told myself I just needed more willpower. I didn't realize my body and brain were working against me, that I was fighting biology with determination, and biology was winning.
When I discovered how neuroscience and self-compassion could work together, everything changed. I stopped fighting myself and started understanding myself.
Now I've been alcohol-free since 2019, and living with more energy, clarity, and genuine joy than I ever thought possible. I built AFreeLife Coaching to help others experience that same relief of finally working with your brain instead of against it.
Since going alcohol-free...
Since going alcohol-free, I've guided clients through the transformation from feeling stuck and exhausted to clear and confident. My coaching combines neuroscience, mindset work, and somatic awareness to help people create lasting change - reclaiming their energy, confidence, and peace through evidence-based coaching and personalized support.
My background includes:
Certified Senior Coach, This Naked Mind Institute
Degree in Physiological Psychology
Certified in mindfulness practices and somatic trauma-informed therapies
Alcohol Free since 2019

Seven days to begin understanding your patterns, get a taste of better sleep and energy, and see if this gentle approach feels right for you.

Those changes start with one month of guided support. You'll be met with compassion, not judgment.
