GRAY AREA DRINKING & health coaching with kristin

SUNSETS ARE THE NEW HAPPY HOUR

"Kristin's coaching was life-changing for me after years of struggling with countless Day 1's and programs that didn’t resonate.

Her Brighten Your Life Coaching gave me the tools and acknowledgement I needed, especially around nervous system regulation, which I didn’t even know about before.

Learning to balance my gut health and nervous system has been a game-changer—I no longer crave alcohol or feel the need to numb out. Kristin's friendly, positive attitude made our weekly meetings something I looked forward to, and her wealth of knowledge and resources were invaluable. I am now over 4 months sober, and for the first time, it hasn’t been a struggle.

This program is more effective than anything else I’ve tried, and I can truly see myself living alcohol-free for the rest of my life!"

  • My Brighten Your Life Coaching Program is a judgment-free zone where you can travel your personal journey to health and sobriety in a safe and supportive space.

    I understand that many people suffer from overwhelm, stress, and the lack of sleep that comes with trying to "do it all," so they start drinking to help feel calmer and more in control. However, the opposite happens, and they experience the anxiety that comes with drinking – which only adds to their problems.

    Sunsets are the new happy hour - let me help you find yours!

  • "I truly recommend Kristin Horstman to everyone I meet. Kristin, what you were able to help get me through in such a short time is truly amazing and I am so grateful. I could NOT have made it a whole month sober without you, and it just made the time that followed that first month, so much easier."

  • "If you're considering GAD Coaching, I'd say just give the free phone consultation with Kristin a shot! That way you can dip a toe in and see if you like the water before you dive in. I really liked Kristin's approach and her recommendations for quit lit and podcasts to complement her coaching. Kristin checks in daily via email and that daily contact was so helpful!"

  • "Today is the 30th day! Can’t believe it! It went quicker than I expected, and surprisingly, was easier than I thought! One of the biggest challenges was my mind shift, it was hard to let go of the “here comes the party” title. It's now time to retire that position. Kristin Horstman was definitely a huge help in making it easier! She was a great motivator, reminding me that alcohol is literal poison. She is a skilled and fabulous accountability, health & GAD coach!"

    Valerie

  • “I’m more than halfway through my 30-Day No Alcohol Challenge! Kristin has been so amazing and encouraging and has kept me accountable. It hasn’t been easy, but I can honestly say it feels great on so many levels, and I’m committed to the final outcome. Thank you Kristin!”

    Valerie La Bianca Donofrio

  • "Kristin is thoughtful, knowledgeable and encouraging! We were able to set measurable goals for each session to achieve tangible results. She also gave good tips and techniques for falling back asleep in the middle of the night which was so helpful to me."

    Amy F

  • "I’ll be forever grateful that I signed up with Kristin! Over the last couple of years, I’ve tried various coaches, multiple AF apps, therapy, and retreats, but nothing seemed to help or to regulate my nervous system - until I worked with Coach Kristin! My mind used to be in chaos. In just seven weeks with Kristin, I've experienced a considerable change. Our weekly sessions, daily check-ins, and the somatic techniques Kristin taught me have been the key elements in shifting from being overwhelmed to a calmer, happier mind. My relationships with my daughter, fiancé, and co-workers have all improved because my headspace is now calm and less reactive. Coach Kristin and her amazing 1:1 Gray Area Drinking Coaching program made all the difference. I recommend Kristin’s program for anyone wanting to brighten their life!"

  • “I had the most interesting conversation with Kristin. We spoke about health, mind, body and the impact of different food and drinks on our bodies. It was a wonderful twist on how to look at what and how you consume. Kristin will be a true new leader in this field!”

    Valerie La Bianca Donofrio

  • "Kristin is very nice to work with. She is open, so easy to talk, and extremely knowledgeable about health and anything related to sobriety. My main reason for reaching out to Kristin was because I needed accountability. Knowing that we would be emailing daily was very helpful to me and I really appreciated her thoughtful responses that were also full of interesting resources related to health, sleep, and sobriety."

    B.

  • "Working with Kristin was such an amazing experience from the beginning. Kristin has such an openness about her that I knew right away she would be the coach for me. During all of our time together, Kristin always took the time to listen to me like I had never felt before. It’s hard to explain how vulnerable I was able to be, which has always been such a challenge. But Kristin supported me and created such a great space to explore whatever was on my mind. Working with Kristin helped me build a lot of confidence as I had set some pretty big goals for myself. Kristin helped me keep focused and develop a plan that kept me moving forward instead of getting stuck or giving up. I would definitely recommend Kristin if you are looking for a coach!"

    Ben C.

  • "I could NOT have made it through my first month of not drinking without a GAD Coach!! Kristin was extremely helpful and a God-send. The daily check-ins and accountability to someone other than myself were exactly what I needed in order to start this new journey. It takes a good support system to stay on track. I didn't think I needed help from anyone, but, the more support you have the better. And not just people, but hobbies as well, and forming new habits. I also learned a lot about different techniques to make it through cravings, and even how to successfully make it through stressful situations (ie, work stress), in order to find calmness again, before the stress would build enough to bring on the alcohol cravings."
