Hi, I'm Kathy, a Certified Professional Recovery and Life Coach through the IAPRC — proudly recognized as the #1 Best Overall Recovery Coach Certification Program for 2023 by Life Coach Magazine. As an addition to my coaching approach, I guide clients through the E4 Trauma Method®— powerful process for healing the emotional wounds that fuel self-sabotage, addiction, and disconnection. This method allows us to safely explore past experiences, uncover suppressed emotions, and release the limiting beliefs stored in the subconscious. By identifying the root of the pain—not just the symptoms—we create space for lasting transformation.

More importantly, I’m a sober mom of three, a full-time professional, and a woman who has walked through the fire and come out stronger on the other side.

For years, alcohol was a “normal” part of my life. I spent over a decade thriving in New York City with a successful career in the pharmaceutical industry. My life revolved around sales meetings, happy hours, and endless networking dinners — the hustle-and-toast lifestyle felt like part of the job.

But when life shifted to marriage, motherhood, and the suburbs, so did my relationship with alcohol. The transition brought unimaginable challenges: the grief of losing both parents, the trauma of a stillbirth, the pressure of raising three kids, and the demands of a full-time corporate career. I wore a mask, doing my best to keep it all together, but behind the scenes I was exhausted, anxious, and numb — relying on alcohol to get through the day.

Eventually, drinking stopped being social. It became my private coping mechanism, my secret “reward” at the end of each overwhelming day. The shame, guilt, and emotional hangovers were worse than any physical one. I told myself “I’ll stop tomorrow” — but the cycle of addiction just kept repeating.

My turning point came when I realized I couldn't do it alone. I entered rehab. I relapsed. I kept reaching out. And I kept going. The game-changer was when I found a community of sober moms who truly understood me — who showed me that recovery was possible and that I wasn’t alone.

Now, as a sober mom and recovery coach, my life has transformed. I show up for my family, I lead with integrity, and I wake up clear, grateful, and energized. No more hangovers. No more shame. Just real connection, real presence, and real joy.

With over 30 years in the healthcare industry, I’ve combined my professional expertise and personal experience to help women break free from alcohol and build a fulfilling life in sobriety. My coaching is rooted in compassion, honesty, and lived experience.

I want you to know this:

There is no shame in struggling with an addictive substance. You are not broken. You are not alone. And you are absolutely capable of creating a better life.

If you’ve found your way here, I’m so glad.

I see you. I get you. I believe in you.
