hi, I'm Paige.
I've been exactly
where you are.
Former party girl. Six-figure consultant. Blackout drinker who had it all together on paper — and knew something was deeply off. I didn't just change my relationship with alcohol. I rebuilt my entire identity. Now I help ambitious women do the same.
the version of me that
needed this coaching.
The girl who had it all — and still felt off.
I was ambitious, social, and driven. I built a successful career in management consulting and organizational change management, earning close to $200K a year. From the outside, I had it all together.
But every weekend, I was the girl blacking out at parties. Waking up spiraling about what I said or did the night before. Spending my precious free time hungover. Feeling like crap for days — then doing it all over again.
I told myself it was normal. It was just "party culture." Everyone did it. Right?
The moment everything shifted.
It wasn't one dramatic rock-bottom moment. It was a quiet realization — that even at work happy hours, on dates, and at casual dinners with friends, alcohol was dimming my light. I started to see how it was holding me back from the version of myself I actually wanted to be.
So I did something radical. I tried a 30-day alcohol-free challenge. Just to see.
90 days that changed everything.
In 2022, I took 3 months completely off alcohol. It was, hands down, the most transformational experience of my life. I reconnected to my authentic self. I felt the full depth of my emotions. I learned to navigate life, social events, relationships, and stress — completely clear-headed.
My career clarity sharpened. My relationships deepened. My confidence stopped depending on liquid courage. I felt, for the first time in years, like me.
That experience put me on a trajectory to a better, more fulfilling life — and eventually led me to leave my $200K consulting career to build this instead.

how I coach differently.
My approach blends the structure of my consulting background with the soul of personal transformation work. No shame. No labels. Just real tools that create lasting change.
Neuroscience-backed
We work with how your brain actually creates habits and identity — not against it. Understanding the science makes the change stick.
Subconscious reprogramming
Through visualization, hypnosis recordings, and EFT tapping, we get to the root — the beliefs and patterns driving the behavior.
Manifestation & quantum work
We don't just change what you do — we change who you believe you are. Identity is the destination. Alcohol is just the entry point.
Real talk, zero judgment
I've lived this. I get the corporate happy hours, the bachelorette trips, the mental negotations & self-sabotage spirals. There's no shame here — ever.
Structure + soul
My consulting background means this isn't just vibes. You get a real framework, weekly sessions, daily tools, and a strategy that actually works.
High-touch support
WhatsApp check-ins every few days. You are never alone between sessions. This isn't a course — it's a relationship.
a few things you should know about me.
Based in San Diego, CA — and yes, I live the lifestyle I coach. Beach walks, matcha, Pilates, and zero hangovers.
I love traveling & adventuring alcohol-free, I promise your social life doesn't end when you evolve — it just gets more intentional.
I've been featured in San Diego Voyager and WTHR News talking about the sober-curious movement and the sobriety revolution.
My clients describe me as a mix of a best friend, therapist, and life coach — with a little big-sister energy thrown in.
I believe alcohol is just the spark. The real work — and the real magic — is in who you become when you stop giving it your power.
