Julia Delicata - Holistic Sober Coach

It's about so much more than quitting alcohol

My Approach

Choosing an alcohol-free life is one of the best decisions you can make for yourself and your life. It isn't just about stopping drinking. It's about discovering everything that becomes possible once alcohol no longer consumes your mind, body and soul.When we no longer use alcohol to numb, naturally we begin to feel again. And while this can be uncomfortable at first, it's where real transformation happens. To heal, first you must feel.I believe in honest, compassionate self-discovery. I believe women need breathing space so they can get honest with themselves about what's really going on beneath the drinking. What are you trying to numb? What are you avoiding? Exploring these type of questions with curiosity and compassion, rather than judgement, is when change becomes possible. I know it takes courage to face what's underneath; that's why you don't have to do it alone.I'll support and guide you all the way in a safe, non-judgemental space where every feeling you have is welcome.This isn't just about quitting alcohol. It's about the transformation of discovering who you are without it.

About Me

Alcohol used to be the one constant in my life. I believed it gave me confidence. I believed it was the only way I could connect with others. I believed I couldn't have fun without it. And I definitely couldn't imagine living my life without it. All these were just that. Beliefs. And none of them are true! Instead of giving, alcohol was actually taking me further and further away from my true self. Outwardly I was functioning, but inside I was deeply unhappy and felt like I was slowly fading away.As I entered my 50's my drinking increased more and more and I knew deep down that I couldn't carry on this way. Something had to change. I didn't know who I was any more and I began to question "Is this it? Is this all there is to me and my life?" I knew I owed it to myself to meet the woman who was still there, and to give her a chance to be seen. Gradually, my desire to know who I was without alcohol was becoming greater than my need to drink it.I knew quitting alcohol wasn't just about quitting alcohol. It was about no longer ignoring the parts of me I had been avoiding. It was about getting honest with myself and facing everything that wasn't making me happy. It was about listening to my heart, my values and my intuition and rediscovering the woman beneath the numbing. It was about coming home to myself.And so, in 2022, during the midst of a midlife awakening, I picked up the last bottle of wine I had left in the house, and poured it down the kitchen sink. I haven't drank since and my journey of inner healing, self discovery and awakening began.I've learned life is a gift that is worth being present for, and that sobriety is only the very beginning of opening up a whole new world of possibilities I couldn't see before. Since quitting, I have completely transformed my life, discovering gifts and interests I never would have known had I still been drinking.This is why I became a sober coach. To help other women experience everything life has to offer without alcohol. Because when you stop drinking, you give yourself the chance to become the Free Spirit you were always meant to be.You come home to yourself.
