About Us

Transforming Addiction And Trauma Into Lives of Meaning.

The unfortunate truth is that trauma and unreleased pain are not exclusively reserved for those struggling with substance abuse. Trauma is running the world.

We see it in leadership, in our schools, in our churches and in our relationships. It impacts how effective we are at work and how present we are with our children and the people we love.

If we are to have the privilege of helping others heal then we must first heal ourselves.
