Addiction is a chronic brain disease that often lacks ongoing chronic care support, leaving the afflicted person at high risk for crisis and affecting the entire family.
More About Us:
During the "Level I" phase of our recovery program, clients may begin with one, and as many as seven, one-on-one coaching sessions per week during the first few weeks of their personally tailored coaching plan. Our experience tells us that no two addicted individuals have the same needs. For example, older adult women face different challenges in their addiction patterns than younger women or college students. Professionals, both male and female, present drinking and using patterns which may necessitate a different approach to a successful recovery coaching structure than with blue-collar workers, or stay-at-home moms. Yes, the disease of addiction and the way it grips its victims and eventually takes them to depths they could never have imagined, is well-documented and the stories are eerily similar, but... people are individual, and their paths to recovery are as different and individual as they are.
We believe that the effectiveness of the work we do stems from our theory that each persons journey is unique. We are convinced that a "one size fits all" approach can leave people at great risk of relapse. Many inpatient treatment programs don't go far enough in addressing the specific needs of the client. We address personal circumstances and tailor the clients journey for success. Some of our clients spoke out about their experience and gave permission for us to share their words.

The founder and lead coach for Sober Recovery Journey is an addiction professional with over 23 years of experience in addiction recovery, hundreds of hours of accredited classroom education, addiction theory training, recovery principals workshop hours and several recognized certifications.
​
Our commiitment to clients comes first from a place of service to others. We offer a working solution to the pain and misery of addiction by providing private, confidential, and professional coaching sessions in a safe and therapeutic atmosphere.
​
Sober Recovery Journey has only one concentration, helping addicted people attain and maintain recovery from mood-altering chemicals. A significant aspect of the recovery process is dealing with the fallout, or collateral damage caused by alcohol and drug abuse. The disease of addiction affects the lives of everyone associated with the addicted person. We provide a safe and therapeutic setting for families, spouses, children, employers and significant others to address their emotional pain and express their fears. Learning that love and trust can return to the home is part of the healing that takes place in the family sessions provided with our program. There are coaching solutions available to help save families!
​
Consequences of alcoholism and drug addiction are real and must be addressed. Guilt and shame experienced by the addict does play a role in relapse. A variety of services are offered within our Recovery Coaching Programs. We believe that long-term recovery comes from a holistic state of being that cannot be achieved without full consideration of all aspects of of the addicted persons life and those closest to him or her.

Our Clients are sons and daughters, moms and dads, brothers and sisters, both young and old, who are deeply embedded in a vicious cycle of destruction that threatens their very lives. It takes experienced help to free the sufferer from the chains of addiction. That familiar "numbing of reality" which comes at once from the consumption of various chemical substances must be challenged with a structured plan of relief actions.
We walk with our clients on the sometimes very narrow path to abstinence and sobriety. Each step in the early going is critical to success. Although recovery comes easier for some than others, it is always a process that requires a one-on-one plan designed and formulated especially for each individual’s circumstances.
Our Mission taps into our experiences from 23 years of recovery and coaching work, we employ several Recovery Wellness tools to help guide our clients to sustainable success in their lives. Abstinence is just one part of the goal of sobriety, we aim for holistic recovery practices, and a new love for life, that's what it's all about!
Our Program is customized to fit the needs of the individual. We work with our clients one-on-one to help resolve addiction-related problems by searching for strengths-based soultions. We have worked with people from all walks of life; top corporate executives, to gang members, to college students, and stay at home Moms. We are one of only a handful of recovery coaching programs in the southeast and our caseloads are limited to only a few clients at a time due to the seriousness of the disease and the necessity of depth in the work we do.
The Sober Recovery Journey office is located in West Nashville, Tennessee. We work privately, one-on-one, with clients from the Metro Nashville area and throughout middle Tennessee. Our intensive outpatient coaching program is structured to provide skills and support for daily recovery. Clients learn to rely on individually tailored responses to the ups and downs of real life without turning to mood-altering chemicals like alcohol, narcotics, cocaine or marijuana. With a new set of choices and strength-based goals, each individual is supported in maximizing the benefits of a clean and sober day. A happy, successful and joy-filled life is attainable. Making the choice to live well and prosper is easy, the difficult part for the addicted person is developing the plan and finding the tools to follow through. This is where addicts and their families need an experienced recovery coach and a holistic coaching program. Treatments and rehabs are great educational experiences and provide needed detoxification services, but true recovery happens in the world outside.
No one deserves to suffer from the grip of chemical dependency and self-destruction. Seeking professional help is the first step to freedom...
Recovery Coaching is not just about Routines
Many holistic treatments have proven to be beneficial for people seeking healing from both physical and mental illnesses including addiction and alcoholism. We are practictioners of several powerful treatments that we believe can enhance and even speed up the recovery process of body, mind and spirit.
​
Energy Therapy
In order for addiction healing to be sustainable, a powerful shift into the authentic identity has to occur. Energy therapy is one tool that can support and help rebuild the addict’s energetic brain, once they have begun to come to terms with their addiction. Therapeutic energy work is about leaving the past behind, and moving towards a healthier future. Everyday stress, environmental toxins, addictions, etc. negatively impact the flow of life force energy. Intuitive Touch Energy Therapy, Polarity Therapy, AccuPressure Therapy and Reiki, are helpful tools that work to re-balance our body's subtle energies, increasing feelings of well-being, reducing stress, easing substance cravings, and promoting good health. These helpful healing therapies are readily available.
​
Aromatherapy
Aromatherapy works by using scents to stimulate parts of the brain that regulate emotion and physical function. For many people in early recovery from substance use disorders, symptoms like sleeplessness, depression, anxiety and post-acute withdrawal syndrome can form a real barrier to the recovery process. Aromatherapy, in concert with other therapies and a solid coaching plan, can be a real game-changer for many clients.
Recovery is about facing real world circumstances with new choices.
Old ways of thinking lead back into the darkness, again and again.
Let's work together to close the door on loneliness, disaster and
the destruction caused by your addiction - forever.
