Meditation For Addiction & Dependency
Meditation is, in many ways, the opposite of addiction. Addiction asks us to escape, numb, distract or change how we feel; meditation asks us to stay - to meet the craving, discomfort, restlessness or emotion without immediately reaching for something to take it away.
This is why Awareness Insight Meditation can be such a powerful support for addiction and dependency - not just regarding alcohol and drugs but also tech, food and other dependencies. AIM helps us notice what sits beneath the behaviour, create space between an urge and an action, and slowly build the capacity to be with ourselves as we are - to get up close and personal with the present moment, with awareness rather than avoidance.
Let me show you how a regular meditation practice can support you in taking your power back.
A Month Reset
Complete sobriety isn’t necessary or for everyone. But even a month off can be tricky. Around 4 in 10 people who officially sign up for month-long alcohol-free challenges don't make it to the end, and without support, even fewer make the whole month. The good news? Having guidance, accountability, and practical tools dramatically improves your chances.
That's exactly why I created Sans.
The Alcohol Reset Pathway
Let’s do this together.
The ARP is a supportive and practical pathway for anyone wanting to change their relationship with alcohol - without shame or extremes. Drawing on extensive training, lived experience, and thousands of hours supporting people in this work, I’ll help you understand the deeper patterns behind drinking and create lasting change from the inside out.
This is about more than removing alcohol; it’s about re-finding confidence, emotional well-being, better health, and reconnecting to a version of yourself that feels more alive and free.
Live conversations, workshops and gatherings exploring wellbeing, growth and the deeper transitions of midlife.
Bringing together inspiring voices across psychology, meditation, women’s health, spirituality, creativity and modern wisdom traditions, designed to offer insight, perspective and meaningful connection.
Sometimes transformation doesn’t arrive through massive change; sometimes it begins simply by hearing something at the right moment. A new idea. A different perspective. A deeper understanding of yourself. A reminder that we are not alone in what you’re navigating.
In a culture that often frames midlife as decline, we see it differently. Midlife can be one of the most beautiful, liberating and awakening times of life, a season of reassessment, deeper self-awareness, renewed purpose and coming home to who you truly are.
These talks are an invitation to pause, reflect, learn and be inspired — and perhaps to see yourself and your life through a new lens.
