What you'll get:
In 7 years, I had gone from a social drinker, to an after-work cocktail, to a drink-all-the-time-to-solve-all-my-problems drinker. Motherhood has taken a hard toll on me and I completely forgot how to handle any amount of stress or unhappiness. So I did what so many of us do, I self-medicated and covered up all my problems and then, I lost myself. I had gone for help to several therapists and my very own doctor. All of them seemed to think I was in the “normal” realm of drinking despite the fact that I was telling them I felt a pull to alcohol and it was always on my mind. But because my bloodwork never showed any red flags, my mental state was ignored. After continuing to feel hopeless and depressed, I went to the internet for help and found TNM. I read it and started listening to the podcast and I was hooked! These are my people, they understand me, there is a way out! Onowa was on the podcast one day and she told her story. Even though I had listened to what seemed to be hundreds of stories by then, something about Onowa’s peaceful demeanor made me feel a connection, an acceptance, and new hope. She mentioned her site, Fostering You, so I got online and reached out to her. We set up an initial convo and again, instant connection. I felt warmth, understanding, and so much encouragement throughout all of our conversations. She has a gentle approach focusing on being kind to yourself, which just changed how I think about everything! I feel empowered like I never did before. She always gave me a goal to work on and was available to talk/message anytime—like a true friend. There is no way I could thank Onowa enough for helping me get this far and truly hearing my voice. With confidence, I believe Onowa is one of a kind and can help anyone feel like the person they were meant to be once again.

I reached out to Onowa after a friend referred me to her and started doing one-on one coaching followed by her Back to You program. All I can say is that it has been life changing. Her loving and gentle approach allowed me to open my mind in a way I hadn't with any other therapist/coach before. With her guidance I've been able to dig deeper into my thoughts and beliefs and start the hard work of healing. I will forever be thankful to Onowa and would highly recommend her as a coach.

I came to you for coaching after 2 years of trying other methods to overcome my misuse of alcohol. It was great to start over with someone so full of kindness and who could relate to what I was going through. What I needed to work on was my mindset and thinking pattern around alcohol. That is what Onowa has helped me accomplish. I feel so grateful that I have her as a coach and the methods she has taught me are applicable to changing my thought pattern in other areas of my life as well.
