Melanie Duriez
Sobriety Life Coach
Melanie Duriez is an accredited Sober Coach and Reiki Master, as well as a contributing author of the best-selling Amazon ebook 25 Sobriety Tips for 2025.
She is dedicated to helping grey area drinkers break free from the alcohol trap and create a life they don’t want to escape from. Using a holistic approach promoting physical, mental and emotional health, she helps people chart a course for optimum well-being anchored in sobriety.
Melanie ditched the booze for good in 2021, after years of struggling to be that mythical “mindful” drinker. Convinced she was condemned to living in shades of grey, she discovered, to her astonishment, how bright a sober life can be. A cancer survivor, she also knows what a powerful tool sobriety is when the unthinkable happens.
Whether you're sober curious or ready to take the leap, Melanie can help you achieve the lasting positive change you're looking for.
