“​​What I liked most about it is the Neuroscience course because it helps clients to know the physiology behind their addiction and not that it is a character weakness” M.J. Colorado, US


“This is a comprehensive program that equips coaches to not only help someone with their recovery plan, but takes a positive approach in celebrating the milestones along the way in their recovery work and using them to motivate them further.”  ~ D.H., Tennessee, US​
