Real Results From Happy Clients
“I can’t thank you enough for all of your support, advice, and confidence.”
“One thing I’m learning is that alcohol is a much bigger third wheel than I thought…and, quite honestly, became the driver in a lot of ways! I’m crazy blown away because I couldn’t make headway on this issue until I stumbled on your work. Thank you Martha!”
“I couldn’t be happier with the outcome!”
“I’m so glad I found Martha! With her background in the wine industry, she is both knowledgeable and insightful. During our calls, she was authentic, encouraging, and down-to-earth. She’s a great listener and a delightful person!”
“I find myself feeling more compassion, more forgiving, less selfish.”

Work With Me
GROUP COACHING
I’ve coached thousands of individuals and yet we all feel alone in our struggle to control alcohol. My small-group programs are the antidote.
By sharing our stories and realizing how totally similar they are we create a fun and supportive group dynamic that adds accountability. We focus on our gains and keep self-compassion, self-care, pleasure, and playfulness at the heart of things.
PRIVATE COACHING
In 1:1 coaching, we work together, around your schedule and with a focus on your individual situation and goals. We will home in on your whys, your specific underlying beliefs about alcohol, your triggers, and your vision for your thriving life.
As in Group Coaching, we keep self-care, self-compassion, fun, and play at the center.

Frequently Asked Questions
What if I'm not sure I want to quit drinking altogether?
Many of my clients have no intention of quitting, and neither did I to be honest. This is just a journey of questioning alcohol and then making your own decision.
What if I'm scared that life will be bleak without alcohol?
I get it! I did too! I mean, I REALLY did! Turns out, that was the dopamine and old beliefs talking! You'll learn all about that in this program and it's fun to learn about. More importantly, this isn't a long-term commitment. This is just about questioning, learning and then deciding what works for you!
What if I have things planned and it's a bad time to try to take a break?
The truth is, our brain will go a looooong way out of its way to defend drinking and there is no such thing as the perfect time. This journey isn't about perfection. There is no win or lose. It's just about getting curious and learning. It's always a good time for that.
I've taken breaks before and they didn't last. How is this different?
Taking breaks on one's own can provide lots of helpful insights. But without the science-backed content, most people are just white-knuckling it and relying on willpower which is a finite resource and runs out. The methodology I work with gets at the underlying subconscious beliefs about the benefits of alcohol. We will never change our drinking if we don't change our thinking.
I've been drinking a long time. Am I too old?
I had been drinking for 37 years (wow!) when I discovered this work. The brain is an amazing machine and neuroplasticity is our friend!
How do I know if I'm an alcoholic?
Interestingly, that term is not even used any more! We now know that it's not just a world of "normal" versus "problem" drinkers. Instead, it's a continuum. Most drinkers you know are somewhere on the Alcohol Use Disorder Spectrum. But a much more useful question is how is alcohol serving me? And how do I feel?
