Is drinking dimming your light?

If you’re here, then possibly in some way how you’re drinking is affecting your health, happiness, relationships, your job and maybe everything in between.

It might be a subtle thing, or it might be serious. Maybe you’re just questioning your relationship with alcohol?

Now that you’re here, know that you’re no longer alone in this.

What is the Alcohol Reset Pathway?

Leave Alcohol Behind—Through Awareness, Insight & Compassion

The ARP is a six-month program for people who wish to release alcohol permanently from their lives. With a foundation in self-awareness practices and informed by Compassionate Inquiry and Internal Family Systems, ARP is a structured yet deeply personal process. It's not about willpower, or perfection – it’s about empowering real change through presence, self-inquiry, and compassionate accountability. Most of all the process is about relationship/connection and safety/trust and within this container that you create with Claire, we begin to understand and integrate the unhealthy coping mechanisms, perceptions and beliefs that create alcohol-dependency in all it’s forms.

Any journey start with a single step, and the fact that you’re even here is your first step. I’ll be alongside you every step of the way on The Path.

“It takes time, months in fact, to truly shift the habits and emotional, social and physical dependency that alcohol can create. It takes time for not just our bodies to detox and heal but there is also a mental and emotional detox that must take place.” -  Claire 

This is also a suitable support program for those who are transitioning from a recovery or rehabilitation centre and need additional accountability and tools.

This program can be completed in-person or via Zoom.

Claire has worked with hundreds of people over the years as they release alcohol from their lives. With her own long-term sobriety as the foundation of her work, Claire supports Alcohol Resetters in working towards a “Paradigm Shift” when it comes to alcohol and drinking. She has seen firsthand time and time again, and knows from her own firsthand experience that it is possible to leave alcohol behind completely.

“It’s difficult for someone who has been a heavy drinker to become a moderate drinker. This is in part due to the nature of what alcohol does to our prefrontal cortex — after a couple of drinks this part of the brain (the moderator) quietens or even shuts down. The longer someone goes between drinks, the more the brain has time to rewire, and then we have time for the “paradigm shift” to occur. I work with those who have come to terms with the fact that moderate drinking isn’t for them, and are committed to this path — with the full understanding that the path can be slippery, fraught, and most definitely not perfect. ”

Why six months?

“I have a six month minimum commitment required if you would like to work with me. I have seen firsthand how it takes time, months in fact to truly shift the habits and emotional, social and physical dependency that alcohol can create. It takes time for not just our bodies to detox and heal but there is also a mental and emotional detox that must take place.

Over six months you have time to set yourself up for success, taking deep stock of the "wins" learning from the data we are collecting from this new-found awareness. You start to incorporate new coping mechanisms and understand your triggers on a deeper level while fostering mental clarity, breaking old patterns, building healthy habits, and creating a safe space for emotional exploration, self-compassion.”
