Chrystal Lee.

Chrystal Lee is the founding coach of SoberCoach.to and the author of Pretty Dark Places: Transforming Trauma, Healing Addiction, and Cultivating an Empowered Life.

Her book tells the story underneath the work she now does with clients: a long route through trauma and addiction, and the slow, unglamorous process of building a life solid enough that the old patterns lost their grip.

That lived experience shapes how she coaches. She has been on the other side of the advice she gives, so she tends to meet people without the flinch or the lecture, direct when directness helps and patient when it doesn't. She starts from the belief that the person in front of her is the real expert on their own life.

Chrystal works with clients online across Canada, and in person for those near her in British Columbia. She offers sober coaching, life coaching, and the two together.
