Recovery Life Coaching and Resources
Recovery Life Coaching is a professional relationship that helps those who are in recovery from addiction to produce successful & healthy results in their lives, careers, relationships and businesses while moving forward in their recovery from addiction.
Life Coaching for Successful Recovery accelerates the client’s progress in recovery by providing greater focus, support, action and resources. Through the process of Life Coaching clients work on their mind, body and spirit. Physical health deals with exercise, nutrition, your environment, hormonal & chemical imbalances…. Mental health works with identifying “who Am I?”, changing attitudes, negative beliefs, creating new and empowering references, building self-esteem and enhance their quality of life. Spiritual health connects you to yourself, to others and to nature with meditation, spending time in nature doing what you like, creating, praying, passions, friendships…
I help you create a comprehensive program with the help of other support members so that relapse is not a given and your unique needs are being meet! I hold the big picture for you, keeping you focused on the path you have chosen, while you take the steps and actions necessary to your well-being.
Recovery Life Coaching affirms that there is innate health and wellness in each of us.
All clients are believed to be creative, whole and resourceful.
Here are some of the ways I help my clients meet their needs to develop skills,
knowledge and confidence to grow, be healthy and interdependent.
· Create an Exit Plan from Rehab or Sober living Center.
· Practical application of new skills, insights, and commitments to real life situations.
· Deliver services directly to you and your family, at home, school or in your community
· Raise Consciousness of thoughts, beliefs and actions.
· Create a Recovery support team and reevaluate as we go.
· Self-discovery for deeper learning about who they are and what they really want in life.
· Develop new habits for dealing with stress, overwhelm and anxieties.
· Discover top Passions with the Passion Test and then start living your them.
· Personal attention to independent living educational needs for teens & 20 year olds
· Build better Communication skills and boundary setting for healthy relationships.
· Health training & resources: mind, body and spirit
· Educate and address needs of Highly Sensitive People and social anxieties
· Create Accountability for procrastinators & perfectionist.
· Break down big picture into manageable steps. I hold the big picture while they take the steps.
· Help find a job, career, schooling/major, home, sober living, sponsor, medical professionals
and healthy friendships.
· I listen….very deeply and reflect back.
· Celebrations and reflections of successes small and large.
· Weekly homework.
The coaching process recognizes that results are a matter of the client’s intentions, choices, and actions. Building a strong inner idendity and creating a life worth staying healthy for is supported by the coach’s efforts and the application of the coaching process.
I do not promote or endorse any single or particular way of achieving or maintaining sobriety, abstinence, or serenity or of reducing suffering from addiction.

Marilyn O’Malley has helped me accomplish so many
things that I thought I was never capable of achieving.
She gave me the courage and inspiration needed to be
successful in life. As a sober living coach she has provided
me with many different tools to help me cope with my addiction.
As a result of Marilyn’s coaching she has helped me find my own
apartment, a job I actually enjoy doing, and I almost have a year
of sobriety from working with her. Marilyn was not only a good
life coach but also a good friend. I highly recommend her to anyone.
