I live in Los Angeles where I reveled in the drinking culture for 10 years. It worked, until it didn’t anymore. Eventually, the balance tipped and I was becoming dependent on it — not really living until I opened the bottle of wine at 4:00 pm everyday. Trying to moderate led to a thousand broken promises to myself, and I couldn't jive with the powerlessness and surrender of AA.

In an attempt to Google myself sober, I discovered holistic approaches to recovery and a whole new world opened up. I learned to get on the other side of desperate cravings, cope with anxiety, and rediscovered my love of mixed media art. I also learned how heavily alcohol is marketed to women and mothers. That pissed me off, and then it lit a fire in my belly— I wanted to rebel. I have been sober since 7/17/17.

"Kathy has brought clarity back to my fuzzy aspirations. I spent years shrinking myself in regular recovery meetings and it wasn’t until working with Kathy that I maintained meaningful and fun sobriety!” -Amber B.

"Working with Kathy felt like talking with a friend – someone that I’m quite comfortable with. She was gentle in really tender places and also nudged me, ever so softly, in moments where that push really took me into a new place, into a space of shifting. I really appreciated her ability to move between both." -Carry A.
