A Path Toward Recovery

Stephanie Hazard is a sought-after recovery coach professional who works with individuals and families across the country. In recovery for twenty-five years, her experiential knowledge, expertise, and training empower her to help others achieve and sustain recovery and wellness. Stephanie launched her private coaching practice, A Path Toward Recovery in 2021.
Growing up in a family system saturated with alcohol had a severe impact on her life. Her ensuing battle with and recovery from an eating disorder and alcohol use disorder, enable her to connect with individuals on multiple levels. She is acutely aware of the challenges and joys of being a mother and a working professional in recovery. Throughout a successful career in TV commercial production, advertising and marketing, Stephanie’s struggles were closely guarded secrets that undermined her first marriage and took a severe toll on her physical and mental health.
Getting sober as a thirty-six-year-old single mother was a pivot point. Eventually, as Stephanie began to spend the bulk of her personal time helping others and working with recovery-oriented non-profits, she formally aligned her personal and professional lives when she became a full-time Recovery Coach Professional (RCP) in 2019. She helps people who are struggling with substance use disorder and eating disorders, and those who are “sober curious,” grow wellness and engage in recovery. An advocate, guide, and mentor, she coaches women, men, and families, and works both in-person and virtually. Stephanie believes in multiple pathways to recovery and has curated recovery resources, relationships, and a professional network that includes leaders in the fields of addiction and recovery. In addition to being an RCP, she is a certified peer recovery specialist (CPRS) as well as a certified Carolyn Costin Institute eating disorder recovery coach (CCIEDC). She has been a keynote speaker and leads recovery and wellness workshops in her local community. She is a member of the International Association of Recovery Coach Professionals (IARCP), and the International Coaching Federation (ICF). Stephanie also volunteers her time at Silver Hill Hospital, and serves on the Advisory Board of the Inservice Foundation.
