Stefani Busatta

Stefani joins Rethink Drink as both a professional in the helping field, and a success story of The Sinclair Method (TSM)... Her personal journey through alcohol use disorder and complex trauma gives her a unique perspective that blends lived experience with professional expertise. From her teenage years, alcohol seemed like a solution, easing the weight of anxiety, depression, and unresolved childhood trauma. What began as a way to connect with others soon became a cycle of blackouts, failed attempts at moderation, and self-deception. By her early thirties, she knew alcohol had taken control. After years of trying to quit and relapse, she discovered TSM and experienced a profound transformation... Despite side effects in the beginning, she became a fast responder and, for the first time, found lasting peace and control. Professionally, Stefani has spent over a decade supporting young people, families, and survivors of domestic abuse. Her experience spans mental health, substance misuse, and the complex realities of dual diagnosis. She understands the challenges of those who feel trapped between coping with underlying issues and battling alcohol dependency because she has been there herself. Stefani’s drive to coach comes from a simple but urgent truth: too many people and families suffer needlessly, unaware that a solution exists. Having lost loved ones to addiction, she is determined to spread awareness of TSM and provide compassionate, effective support for those ready to change their relationship with alcohol. With Stefani, clients will find both empathy and encouragement, and a coah who knows that recovery is not about shame, but about reclaiming the life you deserve.
