My name is Paulette and I’m the Good Health Coach
If you're struggling to live a healthy life and want to get into recovery, you've come to the right coach.
​
After struggling with drinking for most of my adult life, I have now been in recovery for 10 years.
​
No one believed I would do it because I was a chronic relapser. At times it seemed hopeless but I never gave up on giving up and finally, with a lot of help, I made it.
​
I've learnt a lot about what worked and what didn't in my recovery journey. I've also discovered how mental health challenges – especially ADHD – hold hands with drinking.
Most importantly, I learnt about that support from someone who's experienced the struggle is crucial.​ Coaching is a fantastic tool in the armoury you need to make lasting change. No one gets it like someone who's trodden the road before you.

TESTIMONIALS
Due to the sensitive nature of coaching, all testimonials are anonymous
The wheels had fallen off my life because of my drinking. I needed professional help and I needed it fast. Paulette knew her stuff and pushed me to make the practical changes necessary to stop for good.
Name withheld for privacy
Paulette’s personal experiences of drinking were so much like mine – I really related to her story and trusted her to guide me on the path to facing up to my problem and working relentlessly on practical solutions. I couldn't have started these changes on my own. Coaching was a real help.
