Testimonials

Heather F.

"Working with Melissa changed my life. I was stuck in an endless cycle of drinking too much, shame spiraling, and watching helplessly as my emotional and physical health declined. 

Melissa helped me get off the hamster wheel of despair. She understood my struggles and shared her own intimate stories that I could relate to. She gave me incredible tools to work through my cravings and endless romanticizing of alcohol. (PLAY THE TAPE!!!) 

Melissa's authenticity, her sense of humor, her infectious energy- all were invaluable in me reaching my sobriety goals. I truly can't believe I've made it this far! I am forever grateful for her encouragement to seek not an ordinary life, but an extraordinary life. 

I adore you, Melissa!!!"

"Melissa is such a guide to AND through sobriety. Not just the wisdom and soul searching, but also practical real world advice and role playing for real life situations. She guided me through family situations, a high school reunion and making powerful requests. She knows, because she's BEEN there.  She will get you through!"

"Melissa has an incredible way of making you feel instantly comfortable even in a crowd of strangers. That was my experience when I first met her at and alcohol free event in NYC. Today I get that same feeling when I listen to her podcast "The Sober New Yorker".  Her natural ability to connect and coach shines through in everything she does. If you're looking for someone who truly GETS it, don't hesitate - she's the real deal."

"I've tried getting sober for years and have tried just about everything. I finally decided I needed the extra accountability and help of a private sober coach. It was the best decision. Melissa helped me take all the tools I’ve learned and actually use them successfully. When I didn’t think I could do it, she would remind me why I could and helped me keep moving forward. With her help I finally got 30+ sober days under my belt. I’m forever grateful."

"Melissa's motivation is infectious. If I ever feel any doubts creep in about my new choices, I go to her and my mind gets immediately back on track. I don't know how she does it, but I'm so grateful. She is the walking embodiment of a sober rich fabulous life and it makes me go after mine!"
