Personal Details

Bio

Michaela Weaver, The Alcohol Coach, is a best-selling author, TED speaker, and Master coach. She offers an exclusive service specifically for highly successful women to embrace their true, alcohol-free authentic selves. Her ground-breaking science-based methods using The Legacy Process, result in a Sobriety Legacy, so high achieving woman can joyfully live life free from alcohol – but also thrive in sobriety in all aspects of work and personal life.

Michaela is a global leader in visioning the science of who you are, when you are free. Her refreshing perspective, and straight-talking honesty gives clients an uplifting perspective. She spearheads life transformation for some of the world’s most successful women, through a reformative paradigm shift – free from alcohol dependency and creates a blueprint vision of the future that she supports clients to embrace.

She has worked with countless high achieving women such as corporate board members, company directors, industry leaders, senior lawyers, medics, entrepreneurs and other career professionals – the commonality is that each of the women aspire and inspire, build authenticity, personal growth and fulfilment without alcohol.

Personal Journey

Michaela’s journey began in 2013 as CEO of an executive coaching company, where she worked with the Cabinet Office in London with government boards, directors of industry and leaders at the highest level in the corporate world on a global stage.

She worked relentlessly hard, juggling her demanding career with raising a family at home. Outwardly Michaela was the pinnacle of success, rising to the highest ranks in her industry, while a wife and a mother of three children. She lived with high expectations and worked under intense pressure personally, and professionally. Yet in reality she concealed a shadow that had fallen over her life. At work in the boardroom, she nursed a closely guarded secret – a growing addiction to alcohol that fuelled self-doubt.

Every night, she drank one or two bottles of wine. At weekends even more. She suffered blackouts and bouts of complete memory loss. At times she embarrassed herself in front of family and friends with her drunken behaviour. She felt truly inauthentic.

Every day she lived with the shame, guilt, fear and anxiety of continually breaking promises to herself to not drink. And every night, she repeated the same cycle of failed promises. Her personal life was affected, and her relationships were suffering.

The turning point came when Michaela started using her expertise, as a scientist and post-graduate coach to shine a spotlight on the problem. She further studied addiction science, the biology of desire, neuroscience and psychology.

One day, surrounded by her research and notes, she realised that she felt differently about alcohol. She felt powerful and free. Her paradigm had shifted. What emerged is her unique multidisciplinary approach, The Legacy Process, which cuts through convention and outdated ideas.
