The Recovery Concierge

The Recovery Concierge can help you build the life you dream of so you can thrive – not just survi Often loved one do not know where to get the help they need.

The Recovery Concierge was innovated out of necessity from gaps in accessing treatment and support services for Mental Health and Addictions. My big why for doing this work is this work chose me Addiction is a family system issue. I grew up in a dysfunctional family system with mental illness and addiction ripping through three generation accompanied by trauma, depression, abuse, neglect, fear and anxiety. I did not enter recovery until my early 30’s and it has taken me decades of learning to ‘undo’ my formative years and to transcend family dysfunction. It is my mission help support families and individuals who suffer with substance abuse /addiction and to transcend their stories as well. The process and pathway are complicated and the information is conflicting. People do not live in silo’s, so treating the individual with out the family members is not effective. We all are in relationship with each other and we can work through our challenges best, when everyone is committing to the process. When I personally navigated my own child through mental health treatment, we exhausted all traditional routes. It is my hope to be able to clear up the misinformation about treatment, and how to approach addiction. It is often confusing, overwhelming and lonely. I welcome all paths to recovery. Intolerance breeds judgment. We need to show respect, compassion and kindness which will allow our loved ones to hear that we still love them but it is their behavior we dislike. Newer evidence based best practices around how to treat Addiction such as CRAFT, SMART Recovery and Motivation Interviewing are emerging as way to make impact without further alienating your loved one away from you. Family members are often the forgotten ones and have unique needs and without a rule book. Community allows others to feel connected and supported while feeling less isolated, and by focusing on your own recovery process is when healing occurs. I have worked with countless families assisting in closing the divide that very often accompanies mental health and addiction issues.

If there's one thing I've learned during my years as a mental health advocate, it's that true recovery begins after primary treatment. The 'one-size-fits-all" approach to addiction and chemical dependency treatment often misses the mark. Sustainable change is possible in recovery, and I help individuals and families achieve this change in order to bring about true fulfillment, peace and happiness.

If you’ve ever sat with a client and felt like the standard tools just weren’t enough, you’re not imagining it.

Recovery isn’t about diagnosis or behaviour management, it’s about recognizing that every person in front of us is carrying layers of lived experience, trauma, conditioning, and inherited narratives.

As practitioners, our impact multiplies when we expand beyond symptom reduction into true integration of mind, body, spirit, and subconscious.

If you’re craving deeper tools, safer space-holding, and an updated model of care… you’re in the right place.

Recovery isn’t about abstinence, it’s about coming back to yourself.

You can stop the behaviour and still feel out of sync. That’s not failure — it is feedback, a sign that something deeper is asking for your attention.

In my latest episode, I explore how whole-person healing begins when we treat the mind and body as one system, understand our repeating patterns, and make small daily choices that slowly reshape our lives. When alignment returns, so does clarity, purpose, and a life you no longer want to escape from.

If you’re feeling that quiet pull for something more, this conversation is your invitation to begin.

We try to change the job, the relationship, the city, even our entire lifestyle, hoping it will provide the relief and freedom we are looking for. At the end of the day, none of us can ever outrun ourselves.

In episode 3 of Naturally High, I invite you to take a deeper journey inward. We explore the stories, roles, and emotional armour you picked up in childhood, and how they quietly shape your self-worth, relationships, and choices today.

We talk about:

✔️ Why “being busy” can keep you disconnected from who you really are

✔️ How early attachment and family patterns become the template for love and safety

✔️ The difference between being resilient and becoming antifragile

✔️ What happens when you start practicing self inquiry instead of self abandonment

This is an invitation to meet the you beneath your name, roles, and achievements, and to begin relating to yourself with the same tenderness you would offer a beloved friend.

What if you let go of everything you’ve been taught about recovery and saw it as something far bigger than abstinence?

Abstinence isn’t the goal; fulfillment is.

I learned that the hard way. I was seven years sober and still breaking inside, proof that white-knuckling your way through life isn’t recovery.

Flourishing recovery is wholeness.
It is caring for your mind, body, spirit, relationships, and the parts of you that have been ignored for too long.

And before you think, “This isn’t for me,” remember this:
If you’re human, you’re in recovery from something —
a pattern, a belief, a wound, or a way of living that no longer fits.

Therapists, coaches, counsellors — you already see the gap.

Clients aren’t struggling from lack of insight, they’re struggling because their nervous systems, subconscious programming, and attachment templates are running the show.

The future of effective care isn’t talk-therapy alone, it’s nervous system regulation, somatic intelligence, trauma-informed safety, epigenetic awareness, and emotional embodiment.

If you’ve been sensing this shift but haven’t known where to begin, stay close.
I’m breaking down the frameworks, tools, and skills that help clients transform in months not years.

12/11/2025

We are entering a new era of care.

An era where practitioners are no longer technicians, but facilitators of deep human transformation.

Clients aren’t looking for advice.
They’re looking for someone who knows how to:

✔️ regulate a room
✔️ hold complexity without collapsing
✔️ create emotional safety
✔️ navigate trauma responses
✔️ use somatic and subconscious tools
✔️ guide integration, not behaviour management

If you’ve felt called to work in this way; more attuned, more embodied, more effective, I’m building a community just for you.

This is your invitation to follow along.

So many relational patterns fall apart in the moment we disconnect from ourselves.

When conflict rises, when we feel misunderstood, when an old wound gets pressed—most people immediately abandon their own needs to keep the peace, escape the discomfort, or chase connection.

In this episode, Jeanne explores why self-abandonment is one of the most common (and costly) patterns in relationships, and how learning to “hold onto yourself” changes everything: communication, repair, boundaries, intimacy, and your own sense of stability.

When you can stay connected to who you are while staying connected to someone else, the entire relational dynamic begins to shift.

If your clients keep looping through the same patterns, it’s not resistance, it’s ✨ biology✨.

When we work at the level of the subconscious and the nervous system, everything changes:

✔ clearer thinking
✔ stable mood
✔ embodied safety
✔ new behavioural possibilities
✔ consistent follow-through

This is where traditional models fall short — and where modern trauma-integrated work begins.

If this lights up something inside you, you’re exactly the kind of practitioner I’m building my next training for.

Why do our closest relationships often trigger us the most?

How do early attachment patterns shape the way we love, react and communicate?

In Episode 4 of Naturally High, you’ll learn the core traits of anxious, avoidant, disorganized, and secure attachment, why conflict feels so charged, and how to regulate yourself without abandoning your needs.

Jeanne also shares lessons from her 44-year marriage and what becomes possible when we take responsibility for our part in the dynamic.

If you’re ready to understand your patterns and build healthier, more attuned relationships, this episode is for you.

As therapists, counsellors, and coaches, we know the truth most people never say out loud:

"We are all in recovery from something".

Whether it’s adverse childhood experiences, trauma, shame, burnout, perfectionism, attachment wounds, substance use, or the quiet patterns people carry for years, every client who sits with us is recovering from life itself. And in many ways, so are we.

At The Recovery Concierge, we believe it’s not what someone is recovering from that matters most.
What matters is how they recover — through support that is holistic, integrative, and rooted in mind, body, and spirit.

Our work is grounded in compassion, client and family-centred care, trauma-informed practice, and solution-focused tools that honour the whole person. Healing strengthens when individuals and families are supported in ways that create lasting change and a better quality of life.

✨ If you’re a therapist, counsellor, or coach and this resonates with you, you’re in the right place. Please reach out, I'd love to connect.

For many clients, the struggle has nothing to do with a lack of insight.

They struggle because their emotional and nervous system patterns overpower the strategies we teach them.

We see it all the time: a client understands the reframe, the behaviour plan, the coping skill, yet the old pattern pulls them back. This is not resistance. It’s the subconscious doing its job based on early conditioning, attachment wounds, and protective adaptations.

For us as clinicians, the real work goes beyond giving information.
Sustainable change happens when we help clients integrate what they learn at the level of the body, the story, and the nervous system.

If you’re a therapist, counsellor, or coach who feels the limits of cognitive-first approaches and wants deeper, more embodied ways to support lasting change, this is the direction your work is already calling you toward.

➡️ How do we support clients beyond insight and into sustainable integration?

What if the goal is not just to “cope,” but to become antifragile?

In this episode of Naturally High, Jeanne explores how we move from living on autopilot to consciously raising our standards, rewriting old stories, and building a version of ourselves that does not break every time life gets hard.

If you have ever felt like you keep slipping back into old habits, this conversation will help you see why and what to do next.
