My name is Layne and I've been working in the recovery field since 2009, and I have personally been in recovery since 2007 and am also a Nationally Certified Recovery Coach (NCRC II) and a Nationally Certified Intervention Professional (NCIP). After a relapse in 2012 that lasted three years, I got sober again in 2015. Since 2007, I have sought out and experienced many different methods of expanding my recovery and my life. I began my career as an overnight behavioral health technician in the Texas Hill Country, moving in management, group facilitator, and most recently executive director of a detox, residential and outpatient program. Being on all sides of addiction and recovery personally and professionally, I offer a unique perspective on the journey of recovery. I have gone from the depths of addiction and despair to becoming a husband, father, and truly connected to the world.
There is no cookie-cutter path to recovery. It is imperative to meet people where they are and create a design for living that works for them. This will incorporate a recovery program, a progressive fitness routine, tangible goal setting, relationship building and personal development.
Creating the mind-body connection early in recovery can alter the trajectory of one's life enormously. I believe in finding a physical activity that requires dedication, focus and most importantly, fun.
While these concepts hand-in-hand seem counterintuitive, the key is to empower the individual to make healthy and positive decisions independently and holding them accountable to their own goals. Twice weekly coaching/fitness sessions with the client create a sustainable and consistent relationship in which rapport can be built to effect positive change. Weekly updates to the family or involved parties create a unified front to battling addiction, it really does take a village.
