At Enlightenment Recovery, We Practice:

1

Guidance — that can provide you with tools to broaden your perspective, open your mind, and set you on a clear, determined path.

2

Empowerment — true realization and acceptance of your own self-worth and self-belief that has, for one reason or another, been diminished, disguised or hidden from you for a while.

3

Improvement — in the sense and belief that you will travel and go from where you are to where you want to be — not just in one direction of life, but many.
