“Wendy was a life preserver when I was drowning… I have removed the control alcohol has over my life. I’ve proven to myself that at 52, I can still change for the better.”
Before starting this work, I was embarrassed about my reliance on alcohol and my lack of ability to deal with the stressors in my life. I’ve never been good at expressing my feelings, and I worried this would be a barrier to treatment.
I also had unrealistic expectations of myself as a human being. I wanted everyone to think I was ‘good’ in all aspects of my life. I did not like the feeling of being vulnerable with the truth—that I was not.
Now, 9 months later, I’ve made significant changes. I’m a more positive person who holds things more lightly. I’m less irritable, and I feel gratitude every day.
I’ve changed my approach to work. Instead of resenting the stress, I now enjoy spending time with my staff and patients, look forward to doing work I’m excellent at, and I always work toward better work-life balance.
But I’m most proud of my improved relationships with the people I love. My wife and children have noticed that I’m more relaxed and joyful. That means more than anything.
Wendy has walked the walk. She understands what you are going through because she has traveled this road.
She is the most genuine and supportive person. She does not judge but holds you accountable so that you can grow.
I will be forever grateful for this time spent with Wendy, and I know that if I ever need support again, she’s who I will turn to.”
–John H.
“Working with Wendy is an investment that will change your life in ways you cannot begin to imagine.
She has years of experience in helping high-performers through proven methods of recovering from burnout.
She provides structured, yet flexible, processes to help you heal, confront self-limited beliefs, find more joy in your life, and set you on a better path."
-Gloria P.
You’re used to withstanding the pressure and holding it all together.
Long days. High expectations. Zero margin for error.
On the outside, you look like you’ve got it together.
You’ve built “the dream life.”
But inside, you know… something has to change.
As a former lawyer myself, I’m intimately familiar with this feeling—
And how that single glass of Malbec—meant to take the edge off—somehow became three… and now feels less like a treat and more like the glue holding everything together.
If you’re starting to question your drinking—or just wondering if this is really how it has to be—you're in the right place.
I’ve helped loads of lawyers (and one judge!) change their relationship with alcohol and address the underlying root causes of stress-induced drinking.
It’s time to get support… from someone who’s not only personally been there and broken free…
…but who has a proven track record of helping burned-out, stressed-out lawyers just like you:
- Address the root cause of their drinking
- Mitigate stress and recover from burnout
- Make alcohol a small, insignificant part of life
- Feel calm, balanced, empowered, and present
- Even STOP drinking entirely, if that’s what you decide you want to do!
“This coaching gave me my life back.
Quietly. Confidently. Without labels or shame.”
-Physician, Age 47
“I was sober but scared when I met [Wendy]. Now I'm sober and rocking my life. F**k alcohol.
I've learned to find the joy in my life and am shocked by how much there is.
Every day is like an advent calendar; all I have to do is open the little doors and there's a blessing waiting for me.
I've learned that I will never drink alcohol again; it took so much of my life but it doesn't get another second!"
-Chantal L
Any of this sound familiar?
→ You're a smart, successful person who, on paper, has got it all.
→ Alcohol feels like an essential part of doing business as an attorney. From client lunches, to file closings and settlement celebrations, to partners’ retreats… it's everywhere.
→ But... what used to be one drink to wind down is now two or three (or five).
→ And you make rules for yourself like "I'll only drink on the weekends" or “I'll just have two glasses", only to break them.
→ And that's got you stuck in a cycle of regret and guilt.
→ It feels like alcohol is taking more than it's giving.
→ You want to change your relationship with alcohol, but you also can't imagine life without it.
→ While you're pretty sure you're not an "alcoholic", it's proving harder than you thought to drink less.
→ The fact that you can't get this under control is driving you nuts.
You know things need to change…
You’re done with feeling tired and worn out.
You’re sick of making rules and breaking them.
You’re SO tired of thinking about drinking.
Here’s the Good News: It Doesn’t Have to Stay This Way.
The High-Achiever’s Alcohol Reset is your safe, private space to explore a different future.
No judgment, no shame, no public group sharing.
Just 1:1, professional support to help you drink less and start really LIVING.
How Would It Feel To…
Only drink when (and IF!) you genuinely want to, and when it serves you…
…NOT because you’re too stressed to cope, fitting in with the culture, or drinking by default.
Control alcohol by making it small and irrelevant…
…Instead of letting your cravings and stress levels dictate the details of your drinking.
Learn how to do this in a private, discreet, and supported way…
…You don’t need a 12-step program. Just personalized, confidential support from someone who’s been there.

“I used to think I could handle it. But the truth is, no one can—and being burned out electively isn't something I'm game for anymore.
[Working with Wendy] has totally changed my life and is the first time I feel like my anxiety is no longer controlling my every move.
It is an incredible relief, and I am committed to continuing to work on strengthening these new neural pathways."
-Tracy F.
“I feel like an entirely different person since working with Wendy…
I’m living more intentionally... She was able to help me see my life clearly and make better decisions for my future self.
Wendy is a skilled and experienced coach who held me to a higher standard. She constantly challenged me to be my best self. Every single session was shifting in some way. She saw what I needed and pushed me just enough outside my comfort zone.
I never felt judged, and the changes were all very doable. In a relatively short time frame, I was taking very different actions without feeling overwhelmed.
Wendy’s approach is the perfect blend of frankness and compassion. She was excellent at keeping me accountable, and her advice was personalized to my desired life changes—never cookie-cutter or generic.
If you’re feeling like what you want is out of reach or like you’re on the wrong path, work with Wendy.”
-Emily K.
What This Program Is (And Isn’t)
Alcohol coaching with me isn’t a quick fix.
This isn’t a “detox” or a “reset.”
This isn’t about muscling through a month of no drinking, only to end up right back where you started.
The High-Achiever’s Alcohol Reset is about getting to the root cause of what’s REALLY behind your relationship with alcohol…
…So you can make permanent positive change (whatever that means to you).
THE DETAILS:
Sustained, Long-Term Support
We’ll work closely together for a full year to reassess your relationship with alcohol, manage your stress levels, and put you back in the driver’s seat of your life.
Why a year? In my experience, a HUGE shift happens after a year of actively working on your relationship with alcohol.
Our year together gets you through all your firsts—your first 30 days of drinking less, first alcohol-free vacation, birthdays, anniversaries, the holidays…
These are the types of life events that can trip you up no matter how determined you are to drink less. In this program you’ll have me by your side through all of it—so you can create meaningful, lasting change.
Fully Customized 1:1 Experience
Your Alcohol Reset is a bespoke, tailored-to-you experience. I only accept a few VIP clients each year, so you’ll get my dedicated attention and high-level support—both during our coaching calls and between our sessions.
We’ll flow together month by month, focusing on the specific stress points, questions, and obstacles that are standing in your way.
By the end of our time together, you’ll have a more intentional and thoughtful relationship with alcohol—whether that means quitting, cutting back, or simply shifting your emotional state around drinking. It’s 100% up to you.
Whole-Life Focused
A study by the ABA Commission on Lawyer Assistance Programs and the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation found that nearly 21% of lawyers were identified as problem drinkers, and when asked more detailed questions, this percentage increased to over 36%.
But you and I both know—this isn’t JUST about the alcohol. Many lawyers drink to manage stress, cope with burnout, and/or numb complex emotions.
That’s why the High-Achiever’s Alcohol Reset looks at the whole picture of your life. We’ll find REAL solutions for the very REAL problems at the core of your relationship with alcohol—so you can stop relying on booze as your bandage, and change your life in a meaningful way.
100% Discreet & Confidential
Your privacy is my highest priority. Our work together is 100% discreet and confidential, 100% of the time. Period.
What’s Included
One year. One coach. One life-changing transformation.
This is not group coaching or rehab. This is high-level, individualized support specifically for lawyers who want lasting change, in a confidential environment.
YOU'LL RECEIVE:
PLUS—a custom coaching experience rooted in the areas that matter most to you. Our sessions can focus on:
- Alcohol + Identity
- Leadership + Work-Life Boundaries

- Purpose + Big Life Decisions
“Wendy helped me find freedom—
not just from wine, but from the small, stuck version of my life I was living.”
-Physician, Age 47
This Is For You If…
You’re a lawyer or judge who’s starting to feel like drinking has taken up too much space in your life.
You want to change your relationship with alcohol and reclaim the joy, clarity, and energy that used to feel natural.
You’re high-functioning and successful on the outside, but privately, you feel exhausted, unfulfilled, and emotionally flat.
You’re using alcohol to cope with the pressure, stress, and overstimulation of your day—and you’re afraid to take it away, because right now, it feels like your only source of escape.
Drinking is a big part of your professional world, and you’re not sure how to navigate this change without social or career risk.
You don’t identify with traditional recovery programs. You want to do this privately, without going to meetings or explaining your drinking to others.
You want smart, compassionate, discreet support from someone who understands the real-life pressures of your world.
You’ve tried to cut back, but it never quite sticks. You’re ready to invest the time, energy, and money into making a significant change.
This is NOT for you if…
You’re looking for a short-term reset or group program.
You want a strict sobriety plan with no room for personal agency.
You’re unwilling to explore the deeper roots of your stress and coping habits.
STILL HERE?
Good, because there's something I need to tell you.
The legal profession is where my drinking career began in earnest.
It might feel like you're alone in this, but you're not.
Over 80% of North Americans drink.
About 70% of them wish they drank less...
…And studies show that lawyers drink far more than other professionals.
Alcohol often masks deeper truths: disconnection, depletion, over-functioning, and chronic stress.
When you remove it, the veil lifts—and what lies underneath usually includes burnout, general dissatisfaction, a lack of personal fulfilment, and a deep craving for something more aligned.
That’s why we don’t stop at taking back control over your drinking.
We rebuild from the inside out—so you feel energized, empowered, and like YOU again.
During your year of support, you’ll have the space to:
- Experiment without fear
- Rewire your mindset, habits, and identity
- Reconnect with joy, purpose, and presence
- Create sustainable rhythms that support an alcohol-free, burnout-free life
Together, we'll build a healthy coping toolkit and take practical, manageable steps towards reducing stress, preventing burnout, and creating a better balance overall.
I know you're worried you won't be able to do this.
But, instead of focussing on what could go wrong, I want you to ask yourself:
"What if it goes right?"
What if this is the first step towards your most balanced & fulfilling life?

"Before working with Wendy, I was frustrated, depressed, lost, and contemplating leaving my career—as I believed that was my only option.
From my very first session, Wendy understood and shared solid tools to help me move forward… Each week, she offered new, compassionate, and achievable ways to work through my challenges…
Wendy won’t tell you what to do or solve your problems for you. Instead, she provides YOU with the tools you need to solve them yourself!”
-Kathryn H.
