Ready to get back in control of your drinking?

You don't need to hit rock bottom to know something has to change.

Understand. Renew. Act.

A compassionate, faith-centred place for women who want to change their relationship with alcohol... through understanding, renewal and small actionable steps.

You have a place here.

You know you want to change. So why does it still feel so hard?

Maybe that looks like a promise you keep making and breaking with yourself. Or maybe you've already put the drink down, and the surprise is that life still doesn't feel the way you expected it to.

You are not broken. You are not weak. And you don't need more shame or more willpower.

You need a different way forward.

Here's the thing about staying stuck.

It doesn't blow up your life. That's what makes it so easy to postpone. It just quietly takes the evenings. Then the energy. Then the patience you wanted to have with your kids. Then the writing, the walking, the quiet time you keep meaning to get back to.

Another year goes by. You're a little more tired, a little more ashamed, a little further from the woman you know you're meant to be. And the voice that's been nudging you about this... it's still nudging.

You don't have to keep negotiating with it.

Rina Bowring, Alcohol Freedom coach, in warm natural light

Friend, there is nothing wrong with you. And you are not alone in this.

I'm Rina, and I've walked this path. I know what it's like to be stuck in that loop, promising yourself every morning and finding a drink in your hand by six. I also know what it's like to come out the other side. I let go of alcohol in 2019 and have never looked back.

For me, freedom didn't come through white-knuckling. It came through faith, education, learning to process my emotions in healthy ways, regulating my nervous system, and reconnecting through coaching and community.

Since then I've trained as a This Naked Mind and Gray Area Drinking coach and walked hundreds of women through this work.

I'm not here to hand you more content and send you on your way. I'm here to walk alongside you as you actually live this change.

Rina's charisma, kindness and wisdom stood out. As I prefer a more focused level of support I signed with Rina for her 13 week coaching plan. What a woman. Not only is she highly intelligent, drop dead gorgeous, but she has a way about her that is so kind, gentle and supportive. I went through a couple of tough life events during our time together. She was able to help me to reflect, learn and re-frame. That was a pretty amazing tool. Shifted my thinking completely. Had a whole new take on what I was dealing with. Rina's compassion exudes from Grace. I don't know how else to describe it. Unconditional positive regard/love. Such a healing space to be in each week. We laughed, I cried, I learned and came out of the process with much more kindness and respect toward myself and acceptance about what that dam addictive substance called alcohol does to our minds and thinking. Rina has walked the path. Been humbled by the process that alcohol sends you on. If you are ready to start the road to recovery, Rina is the best. We will continue to work together on my next phase of the journey. Progress not perfection - eh Rina. xxx

I highly recommend Rina for coaching! She is empathetic, compassionate, kind, insightful, and such a good listener. I felt comfortable with her immediately, and walked away from the experience knowing myself, and knowing how God feels about me, so much better. Thank you Rina for the pivotal role you played in this incredible life-changing journey God has me on ❤️

I loved Rina's quiet energy. I felt I could tell her anything. She is gentle, compassionate, patient and non-judgemental. She was the right person for me as I started again on my sober journey and reconnected with my faith. I am grateful to have had Rina's guidance and have no hesitation in recommending her.

Imagine..

You wake up clear.

No replaying, no bargaining, no quiet arithmetic about how much you had.

The evenings are yours again. You're present for them. Your kids get the patient version of you, not the one counting down to six.

Alcohol becomes small. Irrelevant. You stop thinking about it, because there's nothing left to think about.

And in the space it leaves, you find yourself again. Your energy. Your creativity. Your connection with God, not out of guilt, but because there's finally room for it.

It's possible my friend. And I believe that's why God led you here..

However you begin, the door is open.
