"My work with Coach Onowa individually and as part of The Alcohol Freedom Method was incredibly helpful. I had been recalibrating my relationship with alcohol for a number of years but felt stalled out and knew I needed additional support and community. Onowa has the ability to hold space, without judgement, for the complexities of the human experience with insight and compassion. More than anything, I learned from Onowa how to respond to myself with kindness and curiosity, which has helped my progress so much. I highly recommend her coaching offerings to those looking to more deeply explore their relationship with alcohol."

"I first met Onowa in April of 2022 and felt an instant connection. Her warm, grounded demeanor put me at ease and created a space where I felt truly heard and understood. I have had the honor of working with her in a large group setting, a small group setting, and one-on-one, and I can say without reservation that working with Onowa has been nothing short of transformative. What makes her unique is her approach to curiosity – she doesn't just give advice or follow a script. Instead, she asks questions that gently guide me to explore deeper layers of myself, uncovering insights I never knew were there. Her genuine curiosity makes each conversation feel like a discovery, empowering me to see my own strengths and potential. What started as a journey to become alcohol free has become more than I could ever have imagined. Onowa has not only helped me overcome personal challenges, but she also taught me tools to keep growing independently. She's given me the confidence and clarity to pursue my dreams and live authentically. I can honestly say that her guidance has changed my life in the most profound way, and I'm endlessly grateful for her support and wisdom."

"In 7 years, I had gone from a social drinker, to an after-work cocktail, to a drink-all-the-time-to-solve-all-my-problems drinker. Motherhood has taken a hard toll on me and I completely forgot how to handle any amount of stress or unhappiness. So I did what so many of us do, I self-medicated and covered up all my problems and then, I lost myself. I had gone for help to several therapists and my very own doctor. All of them seemed to think I was in the "normal" realm of drinking despite the fact that I was telling them I felt a pull to alcohol and it was always on my mind. But because my bloodwork never showed any red flags, my mental state was ignored. After continuing to feel hopeless and depressed, I went to the internet for help and found TNM. I read it and started listening to the podcast and I was hooked! These are my people, they understand me, there is a way out! Onowa was on the podcast one day and she told her story. Even though I had listened to what seemed to be hundreds of stories by then, something about Onowa's peaceful demeanor made me feel a connection, an acceptance, and new hope. She mentioned her program [edited from "her site, Fostering You"], so I got online and reached out to her. We set up an initial convo and again, instant connection. I felt warmth, understanding, and so much encouragement throughout all of our conversations. She has a gentle approach focusing on being kind to yourself, which just changed how I think about everything! I feel empowered like I never did before. She always gave me a goal to work on and was available to talk/message anytime, like a true friend. There is no way I could thank Onowa enough for helping me get this far and truly hearing my voice. With confidence, I believe Onowa is one of a kind and can help anyone feel like the person they were meant to be once again."

"Onowa has helped me grow so much all with her patient and gentle manner. She is very empathetic and freely shared her own experiences, which has been so affirming. I also admire how she also gently nudges me and stretches me in new directions . I have gained so many new insights into myself that will be Invaluable as I continue on this path. Highly recommend Onowa as a coach."

"It is community! Knowing that I am free to be me and a deep sense of belonging. It is truly a blessing to be surrounded by smart, like minded women who are committed to deeper understanding of self and others. I love how diverse our group is and we each are able to hold space for one other as we bring our hearts and share life's ups and downs. Knowing that there is zero judgement and an abundance of acceptance. What a gift!"

"I love the connection with other like-minded women! When I struggled with alcohol, I would isolate myself which made the shame and blame worse. This beautiful community connection is a big part of what keeps me alcohol-free and moving toward my best self."

"I have enjoyed meeting wonderful women who have become close and I have felt comfortable enough to open up my most vulnerable moments. Here i have learned how to speak and feel more confident with the sound of my own voice."

"I came to Onowa for coaching after 2 years of trying other methods to overcome my misuse of alcohol. At this point I was feeling hopeless, depressed, and full of shame. It was great to start over with someone so full of kindness and who could relate to what I was going through. I am once again hopeful about my future and know that alcohol is well within my power to control. I'm looking forward to my continued journey with her and what I can accomplish."
