Amy C Willis

Amy C. Willis is an alcohol culture educator, sober coach, and speaker who helps women and LGBTQ+ folks understand alcohol, get sober, and build lives that don’t revolve around drinking. Her work sits at the intersection of alcohol, health, gender, culture, behaviour change, and wellbeing. Through alcohol literacy education, Amy explores what we’re rarely taught about alcohol — how it affects the brain and body, the role of stress and coping, why drinking is so deeply embedded in our social lives, and how gender, marketing, and cultural expectations shape the way we think about alcohol. Amy brings a research-informed, practical approach to her teaching. She holds a Master’s degree from York University and has a background in public health, gender studies, & international development, alongside training as a dual-certified coach, yoga teacher, meditation practitioner, and EFT practitioner. Her work translates research into accessible, useful education without shame or judgment. Amy is passionate about helping people understand alcohol so they can make informed decisions about their health and, for those who want to stop drinking, develop the knowledge and skills to build a fulfilling alcohol-free life. When she’s not working, Amy can usually be found wandering through the woods, kayaking, gardening, cross-stitching, or finding another excuse to spend time outside. She believes wellbeing isn’t just about what we stop doing; it’s about creating a life we genuinely want to be in.
