Not everyone’s path to recovery looks the same—and that’s exactly why Recovery Coaches matter. They bring real-life experience, connection, and support to the moments that can’t be scripted. It’s not about having all the answers—it’s about showing up, walking alongside, and honoring the journey.

At Burns Fortes Consulting, our Recovery Coaches do just that—meeting people with respect, empathy, and unwavering belief in their potential.
