Amy C. Willis – Sober Coach & Alcohol Culture Educator
My Story and Why I Do This Work
I’ve been working professionally in the recovery space as a sober coach since 2019, and I’ve been sober since August 2016. My journey to this work comes from personal experience — struggling with alcohol addiction for over 15 years, and growing up in a home where my father’s addiction ultimately led to his early passing.
This work is deeply personal and profoundly meaningful to me, and it’s why I show up fully for the women and LGBTQ+ clients I coach.
My Approach to Sober Coaching
When I got sober, I noticed a gap: very few programs addressed the unique needs of women and LGBTQ+ folks. I developed an evidence-based, holistic approach that considers the whole person, supporting clients in reclaiming their lives, building confidence, and creating alcohol-free experiences that feel authentic and sustainable.
I combine lived experience with professional expertise, helping you remove the overwhelm and complexity from sobriety so you can focus on transformation, identity, and well-being.
Who This Work is For
My coaching supports women and LGBTQ+ clients who are ready and willing to:
-
Stop drinking and create sustainable, alcohol-free habits
-
Build confidence and resilience
-
Align their daily choices with the life they want
-
Navigate early sobriety or strengthen long-term recovery
You can do this alone, but you don’t have to. I provide guidance, tools, and mentorship to help you reconnect with yourself and step into a life that feels fully yours.
Media Features and Thought Leadership
I’ve been featured in national and international media, sharing insights on women’s sobriety, alcohol culture, and identity transformation.
