Choose the Coaching Focus That Fits You Right Now

You don’t have to “fix everything” at once. We’ll begin with what matters most to you in this season of your life: protecting your recovery, calming anxiety, rewiring old mind patterns, or learning to live with more curiosity and less fear.

Each coaching option below is grounded in the same core elements: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Creative Mind Coaching, Mindful Self-Compassion, and Compassion-Focused Therapy — adapted to your specific needs and goals.

Relapse Prevention Coaching

Move from constant fear of relapse to confident, grounded recovery.

Relapse Prevention Coaching is for you if you’re sober (or working toward it) but still feel like you’re one bad day away from losing everything. Together, we focus on what you need to feel safe, supported, and steady in your recovery.

  • Map your personal triggers, high-risk situations, and “early warning” signs.
  • Build practical plans for cravings, stress, shame, and isolation.
  • Use ACT to unhook from thoughts like “I’m just an addict, I’ll always mess this up.”
  • Strengthen self-trust so you’re not living in constant fear of slipping.

Anxiety Coaching

Calm your nervous system and create more space, choice, and ease.

Anxiety Coaching is for those who feel like their mind never stops: looping “what ifs,” worst-case scenarios, and self-criticism. We work with your brain and body, not against them, to create more room to breathe.

  • Understand how anxiety shows up in your body and thoughts.
  • Learn grounding, breathing, and self-compassion tools you can use in real time.
  • Use ACT to step out of worry loops and into meaningful action.
  • Shift from living in constant threat mode to experiencing more moments of calm.

Creative Mind Recovery Coaching

Rewire old patterns through curiosity, imagery, and new inner stories.

Creative Mind Recovery Coaching combines neuroscience-informed tools with imagination, metaphor, and inner dialogue work. It’s designed for people who are ready to move beyond old identity stories like “there’s something wrong with me” or “I always sabotage myself.”

  • Identify the old stories your mind keeps replaying.
  • Use Creative Mind Coaching to design new inner language and images.
  • Practice self-compassion instead of self-attack when you feel stuck.
  • Align your daily actions with the person you are becoming, not the past you’re leaving.

Curiosity Rocks Coaching

From “what’s wrong with me?” to “what do I need right now?”

Curiosity Rocks Coaching is built around a simple shift: one need, one action. Instead of judging yourself, we get curious. Together, we explore what truly matters to you, what has meaning, and how to take living, present-moment steps in that direction.

  • Shift from self-criticism to compassionate inquiry.
  • Discover the needs underneath your habits, reactions, and cravings.
  • Practice “one need → one action” to create real, sustainable change.
  • Experience more vertical living: present, awake, and open to new possibilities.
