The Story Behind Connect Now Living
For many years, alcohol played a bigger role in my life than I ever imagined it would. Like so many others, I experienced the highs and lows, the promises to change, and the feeling of wondering if life could ever be different.
Choosing recovery was one of the most important decisions I've ever made. It wasn't always easy, but it gave me something I never thought possible—a new way of living. Recovery has helped me rebuild my confidence, strengthen my relationships, and discover a sense of purpose that I didn't have before.
My journey has taught me that sobriety isn't about losing something—it's about gaining everything that truly matters. It's about finding peace, creating healthy habits, and reconnecting with yourself and the people you love.
That journey inspired me to create Connect Now Living.
I started Connect Now Living because I want others to know they don't have to face recovery alone. I understand how overwhelming the first steps can feel, and I also know how powerful it is to have someone who listens, encourages, and believes in you.
As a sober coach, my role is to walk alongside you, helping you build confidence, stay accountable, and create a life that feels meaningful and fulfilling. I believe every person has the ability to change, grow, and build a future they can be proud of.
Recovery isn't about being perfect. It's about showing up, one day at a time, and choosing a better life.
If you're ready to begin your journey, or if you're looking for support to strengthen your recovery, I'd be honoured to walk alongside you.
Together, we can reconnect with what matters most and build a future filled with hope, purpose, and possibility.
I've learned strategies that help me stay grounded, manage challenges, and continue growing every day.
These include developing a positive mindset, building resilience, creating healthy routines, setting meaningful goals, managing stress, strengthening relationships, and practising self-awareness. I now use these same tools to support and encourage others on their own recovery journey.
I believe there is no one-size-fits-all approach to recovery. Together, we'll discover the tools and techniques that work best for you, helping you build confidence, overcome obstacles, and create a fulfilling life in sobriety.

My greatest qualification is my own journey of recovery. Having experienced the challenges and transformation that recovery brings, I understand how overwhelming the first steps can feel. I also know the hope, freedom, and purpose that are possible when you commit to lasting change.
Alongside my lived experience, I have invested in professional training to ensure I can support my clients with the highest standards of coaching. I hold accredited diplomas in coaching and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and have completed training recognised by the International Coaching Federation (ICF). These qualifications provide me with evidence-based coaching skills that complement my personal understanding of recovery.
My coaching combines empathy with practical strategies, helping clients:
Build confidence and self-belief.
Create healthy habits and routines.
Develop resilience during challenging times.
Stay accountable to their recovery goals.
Improve mindset and emotional wellbeing.
Reconnect with purpose, family, and life.
