Hi, I'm Caroline

I’m the founder of Alcohol Freedom Coaching and I'm passionate about helping high performers take a break from drinking, rebalance their health and unlock their full potential so that they can achieve more in life!

I founded Alcohol Freedom Coaching because alcohol kept me ‘stuck’ for years - believing wholeheartedly that it helped me to switch off, gave me confidence and creativity. When I wanted to take a break but was unsuccessful, I didn’t know where to go - I didn’t want labels, judgement or to announce to others that alcohol was a regular feature in my life.

I discovered the coaching approach of This Naked Mind and layered my own professional and clinical expertise in nutrition, functional medicine and nutrigenomics on top. And I (somewhat surprisingly to me!) successfully and effortlessly, took my break.

Alcohol Freedom Coaching is here so that I can share with you what I did that worked, when nothing had worked for me before. And to show you what life on the other side is like, how I am passionate about living a long and healthy life and achieving so much more than I had ever thought possible.

My hope that what I can share resonates with others who might be stuck where I was once.

My Story

After a demanding career in international banking and fund management in my twenties, where my hectic lifestyle caught up with me, I took a step back to focus on my health. I resigned from my high-flying job, turned things around and re-evaluated my life. I decided to listen to my true calling: inspiring and helping others to feel better by addressing the root causes of illness.

I qualified as a personal trainer and then nutritionist, and my thirst for knowledge and growth has kept me learning. I have been in clinical practice for 20 years, and am co-founder of the Eat Drink Live Well Clinic.  

I was one of the UK’s first Institute for Functional Medicine Certified Practitioners, am a LifecodeGX Nutrigenomic Practitioner, and specialise in environmental toxicity including Mould Toxicity. I am a CIRS (Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome) Proficiency Partner, a ReCode 2.0 Certified Practitioner working with cognitive decline, and currently am pursuing a fellowship in functional psychiatry. And in 2022 I became a This Naked Mind Institute Certified Coach and also achieved the TNMI Affective Liminal Psychology certification.

I share these credentials not particularly to highlight my expertise - but to highlight that ironically my career path uniquely positioned me to biohack my own complex relationship with alcohol—a feat I managed successfully for years (so I thought).

Like so many of us, having a drink was simply second nature, ingrained as since childhood and perpetuated by social norms. I believed alcohol was my friend - helping me to be creative, to unwind and by adding a spark to social gatherings - unquestionably believing I was in control. 

But when my intended ‘breaks’ never lasted long I started wondering whether my relationship with alcohol was as ‘ok’ as I told myself it was - and questioning whether rather than benefiting me, alcohol was in fact holding me back in life.

When I wanted to take a break but was unsuccessful, I didn’t know what to do. So I became driven to find a solution, determined to figure this out without labels, therapy, or group confessions. In 2021 I delved into Annie Grace’s methodology at This Naked Mind, and blended this with my professional insights and expertise into a 3-layered, transformational approach.  

My tailored approach led to a successful breakthrough, when nothing had worked before. I took a surprisingly  effortless and enlightening break from alcohol - one that has transformed my life.

Life Now

Fast forward to today...

What began as genuinely an intended 7-10 day break naturally grew to 14, then 30, 60, and finally, 90 days, evolving into a complete 'break-up' with alcohol.

Now, I enjoy clarity of mind, abundant energy, and an incredible sense of freedom. My former internal discord over alcohol is silenced, restoring my sense of pride, self-respect and authenticity as a role model to my children and those I work with professionally.

My days are packed with purpose and productivity instead of preoccupations about drinking. I treasure early mornings, relish evenings out with friends or family (without needing a cab!), and love that I am able to pick up my teens at any time of night if they need me.

My business thrives, I am engaged with life, no longer feeling ‘stuck’, and am genuinely so excited about the journey ahead for my next 50 years. 

I am now on a personal mission to supercharge my health, mitigate damage done through years of drinking and I have a quest to do what I can to enjoy a long and healthy life, maximising healthspan.  

Yet I know there are so many high performing people just like me - health professionals, business leaders, entrepreneurs and busy multitaskers - who might still be stuck where I once was, thinking about taking a break, but not sure how - and not wanting the burdens of judgement or labels.

Alcohol Freedom Coaching was created for this reason, to share the method that worked for me, and to open this same path to others. 

And to those of you who are on the other side of alcohol, and interested in achieving more through a long and healthy lifespan, I invite you to join me and continue this transformative journey in our Mastermind programme.
