Welcome, I'm so glad you are here!

 I’m Alyssa. As a holistic recovery coach, I come to you with a deep understanding of the journey through pain and struggle. I’ve navigated the challenges of complex trauma, domestic violence, and a 16-year battle with addiction that nearly cost me my life. Through a  combination of traditional recovery models, including the 12-step program, and holistic healing modalities , I have transformed my life. Today, I embrace a purpose-driven, healthy, and thriving existence, and I’m here to support you on your own path to healing and wellness.

You may have heard of the term “holistic treatment” in the field of addiction recovery, but what exactly is it?

Holistic healing in recovery embraces a comprehensive approach that addresses the whole person—mind, body, and spirit—rather than merely treating the symptoms of addiction. This method recognizes the interconnectedness of mental health, physical well-being, and emotional resilience. By integrating traditional recovery models with holistic therapies, including somatic healing, breathwork, mindfulness practices, and nutritional support, individuals can cultivate deeper self-awareness and healing.

As a holistic recovery coach I utilize a bottom-up approach that encourages you to engage with your body and emotions, allowing you to uncover unconscious triggers and patterns. Through somatic therapy, you will learn to process and release trauma, fostering a sense of safety and empowerment on your recovery journey. By nourishing your body with wholesome foods and appropriate supplementation, we enhance emotional resilience and overall well-being.

In my supportive environment, you’ll experience self-discovery and empathetic exploration, guiding you toward healthier coping mechanisms and a sustainable path to recovery. Together, we will redefine your recovery experience and empower you to thrive on your journey to holistic healing.

Services

Daily Accountability

As part of my holistic recovery program, I offer a Daily Accountability Check-In service that provides consistent support on your journey to recovery.

This personalized check-in is designed to keep you motivated, ensure you stay on track with your goals, and foster a sense of connection and accountability. Together, we’ll navigate your path to sobriety and build a healthier, more fulfilling life.

 

Nutrition

As a certified holistic nutrition coach, I emphasize the vital role of nutrition in early recovery. By focusing on nourishing your body with wholesome foods and natural supplements, we explore how these choices can enhance your physical and emotional well-being. Additionally, we’ll look at holistic lifestyle practices that promote balance and resilience, empowering you to make informed decisions that support your recovery journey and overall health.

 

Somatic Therapy

In my somatic therapy practice, I utilize a range of approaches, including somatic breathwork and bottom-up techniques such as the Polyvagal Model, somatic experiencing, and somatic parts work. These methods focus on connecting the mind and body, allowing you to process trauma and emotional experiences at a deeper level. By integrating various somatic-focused therapies, we work together to uncover and release stored emotions, fostering emotional resilience and building your capacity to manage stress. This holistic approach empowers you to navigate your recovery journey with a renewed sense of safety and empowerment.

 

Relationship Healing

In my relationship healing practice, I focus on addressing codependent and dysfunctional relationship patterns that often arise in the context of addiction. Utilizing somatic parts work and somatic attachment therapy, we explore the underlying dynamics that contribute to these patterns, fostering deeper understanding and healing. Many individuals in recovery struggle with relationships, and it's important to recognize that sobriety is not simply the absence of addiction but the presence of meaningful connection. Together, we will work to cultivate healthier relationships, empowering you to build strong, supportive connections that enhance your recovery journey.

 

Frequently Asked Questions

Who Is a Good Candidate for Holistic Treatment?

Holistic treatment for addiction is best when customized to individual needs. While standard approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy are effective, personalized plans that consider factors such as substance use history, co-occurring mental health disorders, and cultural background yield the best outcomes.

Holistic approaches aim to enhance overall wellness and personal growth, making them beneficial for many. Techniques like nutritional therapy and exercise are especially helpful, as physical health often declines with substance abuse. These therapies are safe and widely encouraged in recovery settings.

 

What Addictions Can Holistic Treatment Be Used For?

Holistic treatment can address various addictions, including substances (alcohol, opioids) and behaviors (gambling, digital addictions). They also support mental health challenges like depression and anxiety. Exploring these options with an open mind can lead to significant benefits on the recovery journey.

What are the Benefits of Holistic Practices in Recovery?
Mindfulness practices in recovery help individuals cultivate self-awareness, reduce stress, and improve overall well-being, supporting a holistic approach to sobriety.
