ABOUT

Welcome To Our About Page! 

My name is Norah. I am the founder of Footprints to Recovery and a trained and certified recovery coach and sober companion. My own journey towards recovery began in 2007. Up until this point, my life had to become unmanageable as a result of addiction. I knew I wanted to change, and that's where I turned to sobriety.

“RECOVERY IS POSSIBLE, REACHING OUT FOR HELP IS THE FIRST STEP”

Norah's Story...

I had always turned to alcohol/substances as a coping mechanism, but I soon found my life heading in a downward spiral. After many attempts and painful relapses, I finally got sober in 2010 and I am now 11 years clean and sober. In the process of my own recovery, I found a passion for helping others and decided to pursue a career in recovery which lead me to working in a treatment centre in Spain, before returning to the UK to work at Abbey Care Treatment Centre and Archangel Home Detox Services in Scotland.

Through my experience of working with alcoholics and addicts, I have built a strong reputation from my compassionate, empathetic , and non-judgmental approach to helping clients overcome addiction. At Footprints to Recovery, our aim is to provide those who are suffering with an individualised and impactful step by step system for overcoming their addiction and suffering; hence the name - Footprints to Recovery.
