ALCOHOL-FREE LIVING, HEALTH & WELLNESS CHANNEL
- (0)

Welcome to 9KM BY 9AM

You know alcohol is holding you back. Not completely ruining your life, but quietly limiting it.

Maybe you’ve tried cutting back. Maybe you’ve stopped before and drifted back again. Maybe you’re just tired of the mental negotiation.

I help men and women in midlife become alcohol-free and step into their next chapter with more clarity, energy and purpose.

This is not about guilt, labels or endless willpower. It’s about changing your thinking, changing your habits and changing your identity, so that alcohol stops being part of the story.

If you’re ready for a different life, this is a good place to start.

Take the first step today. Book a free consultation and discover how I can help you live the life you deserve and be the best version of you.

BOOK A DISCOVERY CALL  TESTIMONIALS

As a qualified Life Coach, NLP Practitioner and Registered Hypnotherapist, I use proven tools to help people break free from alcohol and create lasting change from the inside out.

My work is especially suited to people in midlife who know they want more from life and are ready to stop drinking in a way that feels empowering, not punishing.

In 2020, after too many years of wanting to feel healthier, fitter, more mindful and more present, I decided to change my story. That meant changing my habits, stopping drinking alcohol and rebuilding life from the ground up.

As my energy returned, I began waking naturally at 5am and walking 15,000 steps before breakfast – roughly 9km before 9 o’clock. That daily practice became 9KM BY 9AM.

This is the foundation of the work I now share with others: change your habits, change your identity, change your life.

ALCOHOL-FREE COACHING FOR YOUR NEXT CHAPTER

You do not need more lectures about alcohol. You need a different way of thinking about change. Most people try to stop drinking with willpower. That is why it becomes a cycle of stopping, starting, negotiating and promising yourself that next week will be different.

My coaching combines life coaching, NLP and hypnotherapy to help you change this at the level that matters most: identity. So instead of trying to “be good” around alcohol, you become someone who no longer needs it.

This work is designed for men and women in midlife who want to feel sharper, calmer, healthier and more in control of the next chapter of their life.

1-2-1 & GROUP SESSIONS AVAILABLE

Online & Face-To-Face. Helping you hone your values, beliefs and goals to find your identity and purpose, aiding your well-being and self-development.

REBUILD YOUR LIFE FROM THE GROUND UP

REBUILD YOUR LIFE FROM THE GROUND UP

Stopping drinking is one thing. What you replace it with is everything. Over the first two years of 9KM BY 9AM I walked 9km every day before 9 o’clock. Clocking up over 7,000km. The equivalent of over 160 marathons. I saw over 700 sunrises and forest bathed 300+ times – and all before breakfast!
