Testimonials….
“I loved this training! Using the skills of sober coaching, in a nurturing and creative environment, is my ultimate goal. I feel much more confident following this training Janey and have loved working with you. I still struggle with Imposter Syndrome, but at the same time, I honestly feel it is my calling. Absolutely clear on my ideal client now – Thank you! After 5 years of life changing. joyous sobriety, I now work with women to help them change their relationship with alcohol, manage the ups and downs of life without drinking and start living a life of freedom, excitement and contentment.” Claire Godwin
I completed my Sober Coach Training with Janey in January 2023. The 2 day course was just what I needed to get me in the right mindset to launch my Sober Coaching business. I was privileged to share the weekend with some inspirational people who were also training. Janey and her team made the whole weekend enjoyable and immensely instructive. Along with the sessions we had ample time to discuss and debate the points raised and we certainly all talked a lot! It was great to work with Janey face to face as she totally engaged us all and shared her wealth of experience. There was not one question asked of her that she could not answer, and more importantly could illustrate with her own experiences. For me, this was the greatest value as it made the sessions come to life rather than just exercises and theories without any relevant examples. I am now looking forward with renewed enthusiasm to the start of the next exciting chapter in my career. Thank you Janey Tony Worsdall

Want to know more about becoming a sober coach?
As the world becomes more health-conscious, many people are exploring a sober or sober-curious lifestyle. This shift has led to an increased demand for sober coaches. But what does it mean to be a sober coach? How can you support those who are sober curious or in the early stages of ditching alcohol without judgment or shame?
A sober coach provides practical tools and support for individuals exploring a life without alcohol. This role is not the same as addiction counseling; sober coaches work with people who are functioning well, but realize that alcohol no longer serves them. The focus is on well-being and personal growth, underpinned by sobriety.
Becoming an Accredited Sober Club Coach with Janey Lee Grace
Sober coaching is about partnering with clients to help them find their answers, focusing on their potential and well-being. It’s not about ‘fixing them’ but inspiring them to live a life they don’t need to escape from. Janey’s approach emphasizes a holistic approach to sobriety, incorporating wellness and personal growth.
Training and Certification
This programme is designed to transform you from an enthusiast to an expert in 6-8 weeks. The training offers coaching tools, resources, and proven techniques to guide clients on their journey of transformation. Janey is an accredited training provider with IPHM and IGHT so when you complete the training, you can apply to be a therapist / coach member with their certification.
Course Structure:
There is an Initial Intensive Training: The first two days are held in person with a small group in a welcoming, non-corporate environment. You’ll receive comprehensive training, practical exercises, and delicious meals. There is often personal transformation. This can be done online with 1-1 video Q and A with Janey

We focus on fine-tuning your authentic self, ensuring you feel confident and empowered to help others.
Building Expertise

The rise of the sober curious movement means clients expect their practitioners to have answers. Janey Lee Grace’s programme equips you with the skills and knowledge to meet this demand.
The Journey of a Sober Coach
Personal Story: Your experience with sobriety is crucial. Sharing your story can inspire and relate to your clients. “Let your mess be your message” is a powerful approach in this field.
Ethical Practices and Boundaries: It’s essential to stay within your lane, work with non-clinically dependent clients, and maintain ethical practices. Janey Lee Grace’s training emphasizes the importance of boundaries and ethical practices.
Client-Centered Approach: Focus on creating a rapport, setting clear intentions, and providing a framework for clients to achieve their goals. Help them explore their emotional past in a non-invasive way and use tools like NLP and EFT tapping to support their journey.
