You’ve built a life that works.
On the surface, things are fine.
You show up. You care for others. You hold it together.

But quietly, in the background, something keeps pulling you
out of alignment.

Maybe it’s wine. Or weed. Or food. Or scrolling. Or working out.
 

Whatever it is -  it feels like it has more power than you want to admit.
It shows up when you’re stressed, tired, bored, or just seeking relief.


It whispers: “You’ve earned this.

You need this.”

And maybe you have earned a break.
But the truth is: that kind of break doesn’t bring you back to yourself.

 

It takes you further away.

I know this place, because I’ve lived it.

Hi, I'm Kate and like you I wasn’t spiralling. I wasn’t hitting a dramatic “rock bottom.”


 

I was holding it together, helping others, working, even teaching yoga for goodness sake, I was living a life that looked good.

​

But there were habits I couldn’t seem to shake - coping mechanisms that numbed me more than they nourished me. Drinking wine when I had decided I wouldn't, smoking weed even though it hurt my chest. I was being controlled by these things.


The problem wasn’t that I was broken.

It was that I didn’t know how to pause, feel, and choose something different.
Once I began listening to the deeper messages in my body and connecting to
my values, things started to shift.


Not overnight, but from the inside out.

That’s what Rise Above is about.

A 6-week course to transform quiet coping into real connection with yourself, your body, and the life
you were meant to live.

  • You know you want to change — but shame, confusion, or fear keep you stuck.


     

  • You don’t resonate with traditional addiction models, but you do know something needs to shift.


     

  • You want to understand the root cause, not just slap on another “plan.”


     

  • You want to feel more alive, more connected, and more in charge of your life.
