What if alcohol just stopped taking up so much of your precious head space?

God knows in midlife we have little enough bandwidth as it is.

No labels. No forever. No white-knuckling. And no adding another overwhelming thing to your already overflowing plate.

Just 30 days to get to the place where it’s take it or leave it. A non-issue. Where it has no more hold over you than a cheese sandwich.

What if alcohol just stopped taking up so much of your precious head space?

God knows in midlife we have little enough bandwidth as it is.

No labels. No forever. No white-knuckling. And no adding another overwhelming thing to your already overflowing plate.

Just 30 days to get to the place where it’s take it or leave it. A non-issue. Where it has no more hold over you than a cheese sandwich.

STARTS 1 JULY 2026 - 25 SPOTS ONLY

Join the experiment to experience the difference!

This is for you if...

  • You want to shift your relationship with alcohol but you’re not ready to call yourself anything
  • You’ve tried to drink less but can’t seem to make it stick on your own
  • You’re doing Dry July and want more than just white-knuckling through the month - you want something to actually shift underneath
  • You want a break from alcohol but you want to come out the other side with a genuinely different relationship with it - not just counting down the days until you can drink again
  • You’ve already stopped drinking but you still miss it, still think about it, still feel like you’re missing out - and you want that to change
  • You want to go longer - six months, a year, or ongoing - and you want the inner work to make that feel easy rather than effortful
  • You’re sober curious and want to explore what life feels like with less alcohol in it, without committing to anything
  • You want to drink more mindfully and moderately and you want to actually enjoy that rather than feeling deprived
  • You’re exhausted by the constant negotiation in your head - whether, when, what, how much - running quietly in the background of every single day
  • You’re not enjoying it anymore but don’t know how to stop
  • You feel out of integrity with who you know yourself to be
  • You suspect your neurodivergent brain, perimenopause or nervous system might have something to do with it
  • You’re completely smashed by life and you just want to feel like yourself again

And if you’re sitting here thinking “I want this but I just don’t have the time or the energy for another program” - keep reading.

That’s exactly who this was built for.

If you’ve tried before and it hasn’t worked - that is not a you problem. There’s something going on beneath the surface that willpower alone can never touch. That’s exactly what this experiment is designed to reach.

This is an experiment - not a commitment. No labels. No forever. No rules.

This is not a sobriety program.

You get to decide what you want your relationship with alcohol to look like when you come out the other side. Some women finish and drink less - mindfully and happily. Some finish and go longer - six months, a year, or they just keep going. Some finish and feel completely indifferent either way. Some come in having already stopped and leave finally feeling free of the pull.

All of those are valid outcomes. All of those are celebrated here.

The only goal is that alcohol stops running the show.

 

This was designed for women who are already running on empty.

Life is already hard enough. Your plate is already full. The last thing you need is another commitment that becomes another thing to feel guilty about.

So here’s what I want you to know before you read anything else: I have made this as easy as possible for you. That is my job. That is what I do.

Everything inside the Great Aussie Alcohol Experiment is an invitation. The daily Zoom is there if you want it. The breathwork is there if you want it. The journalling is there if you want it.

Show up how you can, when you can. Dip in and out. Watch the replays in your pyjamas at 11pm if that’s what works. Do one thing or do all the things.

The daily videos are short. The breathwork is 15 minutes. The Zoom sessions fit around your timezone. Everything is recorded and available to you for the full 30 days. And if life got in the way and you didn’t get through everything, you’ll receive the self-paced version of the Alcohol Experiment as a gift at the end so you never lose access to the work.

There is no wrong way to do this experiment. There is no falling behind. There is no failing.

You just have to show up to what you can. The rest... I’ve got covered.

Here’s what women who’ve done this with me say:

“It wasn’t about my drinking. It turned out to be the Why. There’s no white-knuckling, no ‘I am SO bad’ moments. It works with you where you are. It opens doors of self-investigation in a positive way and it’s not punitive. I feel more empowered in me.”

- Lisa

 “I came in just wanting a fixed break. What I didn’t expect was the realisation that I could stop and take control. Emma taught me it’s ok to be unapologetically imperfect. She gave me hope and reminded me of the importance of self love - two things alcohol takes away. She gave me the knowledge and skills to trust myself again.”

- Toni

“There was no ‘you can’t drink for 30 days.’ That attitude of acceptance and non-judgement took the pressure off completely. The biggest thing I learned was to be present to what my needs are - and to not abandon my inner self.”

- Therese

“I’ve been in other programs where everyone counted the days of not drinking. It felt like a death sentence. I don’t count. I’m just living my best life.”

- Carol

“Emma’s unwavering positive regard and trauma-informed approach created a safe place to share whatever was on my mind - knowing I’d be supported, encouraged or confidently challenged as needed. The freedom to choose whether I was going to continue drinking, reduce or not drink while joining the group - I had never experienced that before.”

- Kylie

“I came in not knowing if I wanted to stop, moderate or just take a break. What I discovered was that the problem is the alcohol, not me. And that I can change what I think about the problem.”

- Lisa H.

Hi I'm Emma! 👋

I’m a PACFA registered counsellor and psychotherapist specialising in alcohol, food and body image. I’m trained by Gabor Mate in Compassionate Inquiry, a certified Senior This Naked Mind Coach, and a qualified Intuitive Eating counsellor.

I’m also late-diagnosed Autistic and ADHD, a mum of neurodivergent kids, and I’ve been navigating the intersection of neurodivergence, perimenopause, trauma, alcohol and disordered eating for over a decade - personally and professionally.

I’ve been alcohol-free for 6.5 years. I never planned to be. That’s the whole point.

In 2018 I hit burnout after years of running on caffeine, adrenaline and wine. I retrained as a counsellor and psychotherapist and built the program I wish had existed for me. The Great Aussie Alcohol Experiment is the result - and it has changed my life and the lives of hundreds of women since.

I know what it feels like to think of wine as a lifeline. A way to decompress, focus, relax, socialise, cope. The social lubricant. The comfort blanket. The way to shut down the busy brain at the end of a long day.

And I know what it feels like to get to the other side of that - where it just doesn’t take up space anymore. Where you’re free.

That’s what I’m here to help you find.

What Others are Saying...

“I came in just wanting a fixed break. I am still alcohol free and am planning on doing 6 months with the view to extending. It feels like freedom now rather than missing out.”

- Harriet

“I have been living with the guilt and shame of alcohol my whole life it feels like and I no longer have to suffer that alone. It’s so empowering to no longer be controlled by alcohol.”

- Hayley

“I’d done other alcohol programs and wasn’t ready. In this one I experienced compassion, authenticity and realness from Emma. She holds a very sweet safe container. Her ability to hold space is quite relatable and extraordinary.”

- JC

“Emma has this amazing ability to help you dig deep to find the real reason you have used alcohol to deal with life. She asks in a way that is gentle and safe. For 30 days I was able to remove the layers and look inwards. The feeling of not being alone and/or broken was a bonus.”

- Simi

“The only way I can describe this 30 day experiment is completely mind blowing. I recognised the connection between my late-diagnosed ADHD and drinking for the first time. I learnt beliefs I didn’t even know I had. My anxiety has all but disappeared. My skin has cleared and my eyes are brighter. The fear about not drinking has gone from all-consuming to a tiny blip of my thoughts.”

- Kate

“Participation in this experiment has completely changed the way I think about alcohol. Emma gently invites you to question where your beliefs come from. She doesn’t claim to have the answer to anything but safely guides you to explore and come up with your own answers. There is understanding and no shame.”

- Maree

How it works

Here’s what your 30 days look like - and I promise it’s more manageable than you think:

  • When you sign up you’ll receive your login details straight away
  • Each day you’ll get a short pre-recorded video - genuinely short - delivering the education and insight that rewires how you think about alcohol
  • Every day there’s a live small group coaching session on Zoom with Emma - your questions answered, your process witnessed, in real time. Can’t make it? It’s recorded. Watch it when you can.
  • From Day 2, an optional twice-daily 15-minute on-demand breathwork practice is available to you - the tool that gives your nervous system what it used to reach for wine for. Do it in the car. Do it in bed. Do it whenever you get a moment.
  • A private community where you can connect, share, and be supported by other women on the exact same journey
  • A journalling workbook to bed in your shifts - yours to keep forever. Five minutes a day is enough.

There is no falling behind. There is no wrong way. I have made this as easy as I possibly can because I know what your life looks like right now. You just have to show up. I’ll do the rest.

Experience the Difference...

We’ve all been there. We start out strong, determined this time will be different… only to have life throw a curveball sending us straight back to our old, frustrating ways. 

And the worst part is, every time we don’t achieve what we set out to, we blame ourselves. We say our willpower or self-control wasn’t strong enough. 

But can I tell you something? That’s not true and it’s not your fault!

See, without a shift in DESIRE, we’ll NEVER achieve lasting change. 

So how do we shift desire? 

During my LIVE 30-Day Aussie Alcohol Experiment we’ll address your feelings and root causes behind your drinking patterns and behaviours. 

Then, we’ll rewire those thought patterns through daily journaling, video trainings, and small group coaching. 

But it’s SO MUCH MORE than simply addressing habits. I’ll walk you through an effortless shift surrounding how you feel about alcohol so that you can live in the power to choose and experience the true happiness, health, and freedom you desire.
