HELD: SEPTEMBER 14 – 16, 2018.
Our Event
The focus of SHE RECOVERS in LA was on celebrating strength, diversity, inclusion, and innovation by women for women in the world of recovery. We are committed to showing women (and the world) what recovery looks like so that we can help end stigma. Our event explored and showcased a wide array of innovative recovery strategies, resources, products and services, and recognized the women (past and present) who have been or continue to be the most important change makers in the women’s recovery sphere.
SHE RECOVERS in LA built on the success of our inaugural signature event, SHE RECOVERS in NYC (May 2017). As we had done in NYC, we gathered and engaged over 500 women of all ages, nationalities and backgrounds. The keynote speakers were well-known and respected thought leaders whose personalities, books and platforms have already inspired tens of millions of people. Event workshops, sponsors and exhibitors showcased the diverse range of wellness approaches,resources and products that women are seeking in order to heal and sustain body, mind and spirit.
We gathered and engaged over 500 women of all ages, nationalities and backgrounds.
Our Venue
From dazzling red carpet events and business meetings to relaxing vacations and key moments in Hollywood history, The Beverly Hilton has always been the place to see-and-be-seen. The renowned International Ballroom plays host to glamorous annual events including the Golden Globe Awards Show, which has been held at The Beverly Hilton for over 50 years.
We were able to secure a large block of rooms at the amazing SHE RECOVERS in LA rate of $299 usd per night – which we sold out and then some! Most of our event registrants stayed with us at the Beverly Hilton because they wanted to be at the venue for every minute of She Recovers in LA.

Our proudest accomplishment.
Women recovering in all areas of life are warmly welcomed at SHE RECOVERS events. This was an event for women aged 18 and older (open to all who self identified as a woman).
We are always working diligently to find ways to increase access to our events for more women. For this event, we raised enough money through a GoFundMe Campaign to be able to fill 40 scholarship spots. In addition – we were able to cover the registration costs for a number of volunteers who would not otherwise be able to join us.
Join us!
FOR SHE RECOVERS® in MIAMI 2020
Are you looking to strengthen, deepen and - most importantly - to celebrate your recovery? Join us in Miami for our third signature conference event. Women (self-identifying) recovering in all areas of life are warmly welcomed. Our conferences are life-changing. We promise.
