Become a Recovery Coach
SHE RECOVERS® is currently the largest online platform available to women seeking recovery, new to recovery, or in long term recovery and looking to more fully realize their potential. Building a strong recovery coach community is one of the major components of the She Recovers growth strategy.
We are all recovering from something.
Coaching can benefit anyone looking to step into a healthier, more authentic version of themselves.
One of the Guiding Principles of SHE RECOVERS® is that women need to be supported to find and follow individualized pathways and patchworks of recovery. We think that coaching offers the solid support that women need to figure out which “recovery” pathways and patchworks will work for them. Certified Professional Coaches help people to focus on their strengths, reconnect to their own inner capacity and resilience, and move forward with setting and achieving recovery and life goals.
