Life got lighter without the wine.
You’re clearer and more present.

But the patterns you drank on are still here.
And when things get hard, you still feel it.  Fast.

You’ve tried ‘giving things a bit more time’.

Sitting in the car, trying to breathe it out, another sober podcast playing while you hold it all in.

You’re not here for hand-holding, or journaling prompts you’ll never use.

You want to know how to move through life when it gets up close and loud – without the buffer you used to rely on, and without feeling like you’re just about managing.

And you’re here for a plan that meets you in the grit, transforming sobriety from the hardest thing you’ve ever done into the most powerful reclaiming you’ve ever chosen.

Gloriously, unapologetically You.

YOU DIDN'T QUIT DRINKING JUST TO KEEP BITING YOUR TONGUE

Emotional sobriety gives you the space to finally breathe.

Forget gritting your teeth – this is where we go into the part that actually stings, and you learn how to stop getting knocked over by it.

◦ You notice what you need early, before it becomes tension, spirals, or another night of staring at the ceiling.

◦ You tell the truth to yourself the first time, instead of shoving it down and pretending it’s not there.

◦ You hold a boundary without flinching, and stop feeling like the villain for having a limit.

◦ You walk away from a hard conversation without dissecting it to death or wondering what you did wrong.

◦ You feel resentment rise, know what it’s pointing to, and handle it before it burns the whole house down.

◦ You recognise the urge to scroll, snack, shop or check out – and know exactly what your body’s really asking for.

If you’re a sober woman who’s ready to break old patterns and take ownership of the life you’re building, I will help you build the kind of emotional sobriety that doesn’t vanish on a shitty day.

No numbing.  No blowing up.  No talking yourself out of what you feel.

Working with Lara has been life-changing. With the help of her straight-talking yet compassionate approach, I’m living my sober life in a way I never thought possible.

COACHING

WORKING TOGETHER

My work brings nervous system awareness together with no-BS coaching and grounded ways of handling the moments that used to take you out.

Our sessions are led by what you need most; drawing on simple nervous system support and proven frameworks to shift the patterns that still call the shots, not just understand them.

You’ll be working with the RISE Compass; my signature approach for women building emotional sobriety from the inside out (tap here to learn more about the RISE Compass).

This is where the old habits stop running the show – and the changes you make start backing the life you chose, not the one you left behind.

You have two paths

Ignite

Your starting point for sobriety that holds up under heat.

For sober women done with snapping, swallowing it down, or disappearing into silence when things get tense.

Six weeks of grounded emotional sobriety support in a small group.

We go straight to the flashpoints and give you ways to hold your ground when it all flares up.

Unmuted

Where your voice comes back into the room.

1:1 coaching for the sober woman who holds it all together, but feels like she’s disappearing in the process.

12 weeks of personalised support.

This is the full works: the behind-the-scenes rewiring that anchors you in sobriety and puts you back in charge of the moments that used to unravel you.

 

Both programmes are gently structured and guided, with the RISE Compass holding everything we do.

This is practical, grounded work that doesn’t fall apart when things get messy.  You won’t be circling your own patterns or left guessing what to do.

There’s a plan here, and a coach who knows how to hold it.

You’ll be learning how to move differently in the moments that used to unravel you.

You’ll have space to rise.  And you won’t be doing it alone.

I love how Lara's coaching moves you from just 'not drinking' to building a beautiful and powerful life. She's the perfect mix of compassion and challenge.

Who I work with

THE SOBER-AND-IN-IT

You’ve stopped drinking.
But familiar spirals are still pulling at you, and you’ve caught yourself wondering is this it?

THE READY FOR STEADY

You’ve done what it takes to hold it all together.
Now you’re ready to let go of that grip, and build a life that actually supports you.

THE ONE WHO WANTS THE
WHOLE DAMN SOBER-CHERRY

You’re not here to take the edge off, you’re here to claim the life you quit drinking for.  Lit up and enjoying the hell out of it.

Sober Coaching

I'm Lara

I’m a sober woman who knows stopping drinking is just the start.

What actually changes your life is learning how to live without muting what matters, and discovering what opens up when you stop abandoning yourself..

I work only with sober women who are ready to go deeper.  Not to ‘fix’ themselves, but to claim the life their choice was pointing to.

Our sessions are focused and intentional. I pay attention to what keeps tripping you up, where you override yourself, and what you’re finally ready to stop holding back

No navel-gazing; you’ll be learning how to move through things in a way that reflects the life you’re building now.

Because you found me just to learn to cope better.
You’re here to make this chapter count.  To feel your sobriety move you forward, and be a choice you’re genuinely glad you made.

Free.  Unrushed.  Honest.

Coaching with Lara has been a gamechanger, enabling me to look at patterns of behaviour that triggered me, and make real changes.
