recovery coaching

 

your perceived f*ck ups are wonderful.

there are no mistakes. there is no messing up this life.

tough times are your best teachers. relapse is part of recovery.

often, we let the shame keep us down + shame hurts worse than addiction.

i’m here to fill in the gaps that the addiction recovery industry leaves uncomfortably unfilled. to help you begin + to follow through.

here’s what recovery coaching looks like…

  • 1. preparation

    this phase before recovery is sacred - it’s when we set the intentions + create the plan that will set you up for following through with action steps.

  • 2. somatics

    the issues in the tissues! we’ll be reuniting you with your body, because the wisdom that’s in there can’t be silenced anymore.

  • 3. catharsis

    the opposite of depression is expression. first we'll get wierd, then we'll get weepy - because laughter + tears are the doorways to catharsis.

  • 4. mindset

    we’ll break down the limiting beliefs you have about yourself, your addiction + your relationships + replace them with new ideas.

  • 5. boundaries

    setting boundaries is of utmost importance on the path of recovery. boundaries with friends, family, loved ones + self. we’ll look where they are needed + how to tend them carefully + lovingly.

  • 6. aftercare

    the actual living life you go back into? i’m here for that part too. we’ll integrate your recovery in a way that’s sustainable + feels good. this is guided by your interests + passions.

 

recovery isn’t just about an addiction-free life,

it’s about a wicked awesome life.

there’s no timeline for this work of awareness building + there’s no one-size-fits-all recovery plan.

there is your right way to recovery + i’m going to help you find it. trust you are already on you way there. it’s just one foot in front of the other until you’re home.
