About me

Founder of Evolve Recovery

I’m Emma, the founder of Evolve Recovery, a recovery coach, author, and host of The Healing Odyssey podcast. After many years of living with addiction, trauma, homelessness, and domestic abuse, I reached a point where something had to change, not just on the surface, but deep within.
That journey of finding the “real me,” learning how to look after her, and rebuilding life from the inside out is what now fuels everything I do.

Who I Work With

Today, I work with people in addiction recovery and their loved ones who are determined to regain control of their lives and relationships. Together, we focus on resilience, emotional safety, and practical tools that make everyday life feel more manageable.

My Approach

My approach is holistic and person-centred, recognising the whole person, mind, body, and spirit; nervous system and nervous thoughts; routines, relationships, and real-world responsibilities.

How Evolve Recovery Began

Evolve Recovery grew out of both personal experience and professional training. Over the years, I’ve developed programmes, workshops, and resources that blend evidence-based ideas with real-life understanding, from alcohol reduction and relapse support to stress management, burnout recovery, and emotional resilience
This includes my book Life Re-Imagined – A Practical Guide to Recovery & Growth, The Recovery Box toolkit, and free content shared through the podcast, YouTube, and social platforms.

My Mission

My mission is simple: to offer a safe, non-judgemental space where people can untangle their stories, understand what’s really going on underneath, and take realistic next steps towards a life that feels calmer, kinder, and more aligned.
Whether you’re at the beginning of your recovery, rebuilding after a setback, or supporting someone you love, you don’t have to do it alone. If my story resonates, you’re warmly invited to explore the resources here, join the community, or get in touch to see how we can work together.
