You’ve felt the pull.
You know you’re meant for more.
You’ve done the hard work. You’ve gotten sober. You’ve learned what it takes to stay sober.
And now?
Now, you feel called to help other women do the same.
But where do you even start?
Do you need a certification?
How do you get clients?
What should you charge?
How do you even coach someone through the same struggles you had?
That’s exactly why I created Lighthouse Academy.
I’m taking the guesswork out of building a sober coaching business by showing you exactly how I did it, from how I got my first paying clients to how I built a coaching business that helps women every single day.
And the best part?
You don’t have to spend hours, even YEARS, figuring it out.
I’ve streamlined the process so you can get started FASTER.
Lighthouse Academy is a step-by-step, action-based program that will show you exactly how to:
✔️ Launch your coaching business without overwhelm
✔️ Get your first paying clients using social media
✔️ Build a coaching framework that actually helps women stay sober
✔️ Set up your business foundations: pricing, payments, and must-know tax info
✔️ Use tools, templates & strategies to fast-track your success
No more second-guessing. No more spinning your wheels.
Just a clear, proven plan to help you start coaching women.
WHO IS THIS PROGRAM FOR?
You’re sober and ready to help others, but you don’t know where to start.
You’ve thought about coaching, but keep holding yourself back.
You don’t want to waste time figuring it all out on your own.
You want to grow a business that truly makes a difference in women’s lives.
You want a proven plan to follow, so you can start faster and with confidence.
If you nodded yes to ANY of these, Lighthouse Academy is for you!
WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT?
Most coaching programs cost $3,000+ and overwhelm you with too much information and no clear action steps.
That’s NOT what we’re doing here.
Lighthouse Academy is built for women who are ready to take action NOW.
This isn’t just about learning, it’s about doing.
By the time you finish this program, you’ll have:
✔️ A clear coaching offer
✔️ Your first paying clients
✔️ A social media presence that attracts the right women
✔️ A coaching framework that gets results
✔️ A business that makes money, so you can grow, scale, and help more women
You’re not just signing up for a course. You’re signing up for the plan that gets you coaching—fast.
