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.
Recovery coaching can benefit anyone looking to re-connect with their authentic selves and reclaim their innate wisdom.
One of the Guiding Principles of SHE RECOVERS is that women must be supported to find and follow individualized pathways and patchworks of recovery. We believe that recovery coaching offers a solid foundation and the relentless support that women need to explore recovery pathways and patchworks to find what works best for them. Certified recovery coaches help people to focus on their strengths, reconnect to their own inner capacity and resilience, realize their dreams, and thrive in recovery.

Stand Alone Certifications
Are You Already a Trained Coach?
As the SHE RECOVERS® Foundation is intended to support women recovering in all areas of their lives, we also pre-qualify professional coaches with relevant recovery-related training and experience. We prefer that coaches who apply to our program hold at least an ACC designation from ICF or an NBC-HWC certification. However, in lieu of those credentials, we look for a coaching certification from a program where there are at least 80 hours of training that include the core competencies of coaching and an adherence to coaching ethics.
