Meet the Founder.
I’m Hattie, the Founder of Sober Happy Free Recovery.
I am proud to share that I have been sober since 26 April 2021. It was on this monumental day that something within me shifted and I was finally able to surrender to my addiction and take the step into sobriety.
After receiving months of recovery coaching myself, which enabled me to challenge the ingrained beliefs I held around alcohol, I was finally able to break free from the addictive cycle I was stuck in and welcome sobriety into my life.
In the time that has followed, sobriety has transformed every aspect of my life for the better, and I feel daily gratitude to have waved goodbye to the countless failed attempts to moderate and control my drinking, in favour of embracing a fulfilling, rich life.
It is now both my mission and passion to help others who are struggling with alcohol by bringing together my lived experience and professional expertise.
My Professional qualifications include:
Professional Recovery Coaching and Family Issues in Recovery Coaching qualifications from the International Association of Professional Recovery Coaches (IAPRC). Due to qualify in October 2025.
Bachelor of Science (BSc) degree in Psychology from The University of Manchester.
Strategy, Reputation & Risk Programme from The University of Oxford.
A post-graduate Diploma (Level 7) in Human Resources, Learning & Development from The Chartered Institute of Personnel Development (CIPD).
