I live in Dieppe, Normandy, France - finally back at the seaside after nearly 20 years of inland city living. I completed the 30-hour Sober Curious YTT in May 2022

I’m still closely following Alex and Georgia’s journeys and adventures through the social medias, and am always delightedly cheering them on from my corner of the world and the internet

In my work, I often use the skills of guiding meditations and holding space for others, whether 1-to-1 or in group work. The space setting and holding from the sober circles is still a large part of my offerings, particularly when leading groups. I continue a daily yoga practice –even when that contains fewer asanas and more breathworks and journaling. Reminding myself and others that the daily commitments and consistency are helping to build a strong, securing foundation and framework for my day and life.

I run monthly group support circles within my sober support group (open to all women and queer beings of all genders)

The Deep Duckpond on Facebook. I also offer monthly masterclasses and workshops on various topics (recent subjects: burnout prevention, navigating shame, building a wellbeing recovery action plan), maintaining my 1-1 services of intentional business, life and recovery coaching (online), and continuing my personal, professional, and political work of dismantling recovery and wellbeing from diet culture, toxic positivity and healthism More information can be found on my website: www jowalduck com
