If you are thinking about reducing or even quitting drinking alcohol?
These are some of the ways a Recovery Coach could help:
- Providing you with moral support as they travel alongside you on this journey – believing in you.
- Creating a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space where you can talk through your feelings, emotions and fears.
- Holding you accountable and ensuring you stay on track as you move towards the goals that you have set.
- Asking the right questions and offering reflections to help you reach clarity and understand why you do what you do.
- Providing practical advice based on their own experiences.
- Enabling you to discover a path which will provide your life with more joy and meaning.
Tribe Sober offers a 20 minute introductory chat to all new members and to anyone attending our Zoom workshop.
A minimum of four coaching sessions is recommended to bring about real and lasting change.
Our coaching takes place via Zoom or Face to Face where possible. For availability and fee structure, please write to coaching@nulltribesober.com

Tribe Sober Head Coach
I chose to become a coach because coaching was immensely helpful to me in my recovery, as well as in finding my own true north.
Together with Tribe Sober, it became the cornerstone to helping me think, reflect and navigate my way through obstacles and dysfunctional habits, enabling me to become more self-aware, as well as achieving goals that improved the quality of my life.
Coaching provided me with the training to manage my thoughts, emotions, actions and therefore results. I discovered that my brain is my most powerful tool.
When coaching, I listen to what a person is saying, not only with their words, but also with their tone of voice and body language. I coach the whole person – the mind, the heart and the body. The most important part of the coaching experience is to feel that it is a safe and confidential environment, as honesty is the key for both Coach and client in order for transformation to take place.
I have completed my Coach Practitioner Certification with the South African College of Applied Psychology, which is accredited with the International Coaching Federation (ICF) and COMENSA, which is the SAQA-recognised non-statutory professional body for coaching and mentoring in South Africa.
I am passionate about ongoing learning, mindfulness and the field of neuroscience in coaching. Recently I completed an IFC accredited course through Coaches Rising on Neuroscience of Change 2020. In August 2021 I was certified as an “Inner Mammal Trainer” with the Inner Mammal Institue. I am also a member of Self Coaching Scholars at the Life Coach School
I offer 20 minute introductory chat for new Tribe Sober Members. Please feel free to contact me directly at coaching@nulltribesober.com or whatsapp / call me on +27 (0)82 929 5264
Recovery Coach
“I’ve learned that fear limits you and your vision. It serves as blinders to what may be just a few steps down the road for you. The journey is valuable, but believing in your talents, your abilities, and your self-worth can empower you to walk down an even brighter path. Transforming fear into freedom – how great is that?” Soledad O’Brien, an American Broadcast Journalist.I began my journey to sobriety in February 2023. Fear, helplessness, self-doubt, and isolation have been replaced with confidence, clarity, and….freedom. With that freedom came an overwhelming drive to help others start their journey so I became a Certified Professional Coach through the International Association of Professional Recovery Coaches.
I quit drinking in February of 2023, and joined Tribe Sober soon thereafter. I connected with this group immediately. With the help of Janet, Sue, Lynette, Lucy, and countless other members I am alcohol free. It was not easy by any means, and I continue to grow every day.
I have been happily married for 23 years and have an 18-year-old son who is off to college. I have been a pre-school teacher for the last 10 years. I am close with my siblings and have a wonderful group of friends.
Despite my good fortune, I struggled with alcohol and anxiety for many years. These challenges, coupled with the knowledge and experience gained from my own recovery, gave me the motivation and confidence to help others along the way. My struggles led me to the calling of coaching others. I am enthusiastic about guiding others to develop and implement a personalized recovery plan. As a coach, I will serve as a mentor and encourage you to identify potential triggers, to overcome social pressures, to work through difficult times and relapses, and to find joy in incremental successes. I will help you in your journey to Rise and Thrive!
I am currently hosting the Tribe Sober Zoom call for the North America members every Tuesday evening at 7PM, which includes U.S. and Canadian members. I am also pursuing additional educational and certification programs to further expand my knowledge.
