Meet Laurie Healy.
Through coaching, education, and personalized support, I help you navigate a recovery path paved with understanding, well-being and hope.
Because you deserve to take that next step.
When addiction showed up in our family starting in my teen years, I watched in shame, frustration, hopelessness, and even denial as my sibling struggled with his addiction. As a family, we succumbed to the stigma and silence that this disease does an excellent job of fostering because we didn’t know how we were supposed to do it any differently.
As his disease progressed, our family felt lost in addiction’s wake of destruction. In 2017, my brother Brian passed away from his substance use disorder, making him one of approximately 70,000 Americans lost to a drug overdose that year. The experience of not knowing where to turn for support for so many years and ultimately his loss sparked a passion and purpose in me that I didn't quite understand at the time, but I knew that other families shouldn't have to experience what we did for many years. This spark led me to follow my instinct to launch a recovery coaching and education business, and I couldn't be more excited to do this work.
My business is focused on helping anyone that has someone in their life personally or professionally struggling with substance use and related mental health disorders, which creates barriers to healthy relationships at home, in our social circles, and in the workplace. Through a customized and intensive approach to your situation, I can help you and your loved ones navigate a path that is paved with understanding, well-being and hope. My approaches are informed through the training and certifications I’ve completed:
Certified CRAFT Family Recovery Coach
Certified ARISE Interventionist
Certified Peer Recovery Specialist
Certified Group Leader in Invitation to Change
As an ally, I support and celebrate my other loved ones and EVERYONE who has found recovery from their substance use disorders and prove every day that recovery is possible.
To better understand how I show up in my coaching work — and life in general — these are my top five CliftonStrengths:
Arranger — What needs to happen next? I’m not afraid to jump into the confusion to manage a situation with flexibility and confidence.
Responsibility — I do what I say I am going to do. Period.
Belief — My core values and faith serve as my guide, providing me with direction towards work that matters.
Connectedness — I love to serve as a “bridge-builder” between people, always curious about what makes others tick.
Relator — I willingly take steps toward meaningful relationships that foster understanding.
“Before I started working with Laurie, I thought our family was broken.
Through our deep work together, now I know that it is not.”
