Coaching to help you build a lifestyle to bounce out of bed for
“Our chief want in life is somebody who shall make us do what we can.” Ralph Waldo Emerson
Take a clean break. I help you create a life you’ll bounce out of bed for, normalising and simplifying the choice to go alcohol-free by replacing booze with fitness, health and Joie de Vivre.
I founded Clean Break as a way to give back to others who, like me, hope to find more meaning and purpose, take a break from alcohol and create a happier, healthier, more connected way of living.
Through 1-2-1 lifestyle and mindset coaching, combined with tailored running plans, I work with you to overcome limiting beliefs, remove destructive behaviors and negative thought patterns, and to fulfill your true heroic potential.
For over 20 years, I worked in the alcohol industry, unaware that my relationship with alcohol, the thing which I thought was giving me fulfillment, was in fact making me miserable.
I thought it defined me, and that without it, life would be boring and bleak. It wasn’t until I took a clean break from booze that I discovered it was in fact holding me back. I’d been trapped and didn’t realise how much it was impacting every area of my life.
Running & going alcohol-free have been the two most transformational things in my life in recent years. Combined with being coached myself, they have helped me to overcome my fears, self-doubt, and limiting beliefs, and have helped me make positive progress towards becoming the best version of myself and the person I truly want to be.
From facing my own version of rock bottom, they have helped me build confidence, self-belief, healthy values, physical & mental resilience, and have led to finding more meaning & purpose in my life.
I created Clean Break as a health and lifestyle practice that makes running & taking a break from booze simple, enjoyable, and exhilarating.
You don’t have to have a problem to wish for better outcomes. I’m here to help you build a compelling future.
