We started Recoverance because of our own personal experience with addiction, rehabilitation programs and what “happens after”. We found that rehabs were very good at doing their job to help us STOP. And that there was much more to addiction than just stopping; more that needed to be addressed. We found the after care support available to us didn’t meet our expectations and we found ourselves giving into the reality that our lives would be forever dictated by one of us repeating rehab and waiting for the next relapse.

The recovery programs we found didn’t meet our overall need to end addiction in our lives- for good. They also didn’t offer the nurturing, healing and hope we needed during a vulnerable time when relapse was looming. After years of this “recovery” experience we decided there had to be a more effective approach to treatment and recovery programs.

Not finding what we were looking for in the US, we traveled to Mexico to study and train with the Total Integration Institute in San Miguel de Allende under Diamond and River Jameson. We became certified in teaching programs for transformational healing at the Institute. In alignment with the Total Integration Institute and how we learned to change our lives, we developed a curriculum specifically for Addiction Recovery using trauma informed practices, evidence based theories, science based research, Total Integration Institute Coursework and personal experience.

Out of our own personal journey, Recoverance was formed and the Evolve Beyond Recovery Program was developed. We now teach others what we needed when we first left rehab. We needed to learn to thrive in sobriety. We don’t just teach clients, we live our life by practicing every day what we contribute to others.
