About Us

Kevin was 27 years into his own recovery from addiction before he’d even heard of a recovery coach.
His exposure to the approach was profound. In 2018, he became a certified trainer of recovery coaches and has trained more than 300 coaches so far.

If good coaches had been around 30 years ago, his dad and brother might still be alive today.

Creating the best recovery coaches in Canada is his sole aim. Everything he does is in service of that.

As a founding member of Recovery Coaches Canada he lives to defend the role of recovery coaches.

As a recovery coach and trainer with Still Here since 2020, Shelley Shadow believes that the field of recovery coaching is of great benefit to people who are looking at making changes to their use of substances. As a founding member of RCC, she is determined and purposed in two critical ways: to create opportunities for trained recovery coaches in Canada to gain experience, and secondly, ensuring that those accessing services have qualified coaches. In addition, she would like to maintain the fidelity of the profession of recovery coaching. 

Nicolas struggled with addiction for most of his life until he found his own recovery in the fall of 2023. Since then his passion for the recovery of others has become a driving force in his life.

Certified as a coach in the fall of 2025 he has now started his own practice. Nic takes pride in his empathetic , value driven approach and strives to help other people struggling with addiction find their own form of recovery.

Callum is a dedicated advocate for recovery coaching, grounded in the belief that effective support meets people where they are and honours each individual’s chosen path. He recognizes the strength of recovery coaching in its ability to work with anyone, regardless of where they are in their journey. Prior to becoming a recovery coach, Callum spent over 20 years working in customer service, municipal politics, and local government. Through these roles, he developed strong skills in project planning, strategic thinking, and change management.

Following his own lived experience with addiction and recovery, Callum developed a deep appreciation for recovery as a process that extends far beyond the cessation of substance use. He believes that no one is defined by their addiction, and that all individuals deserve to be seen as whole people capable of growth and change.

Callum is committed to supporting the growth of recovery coaching in Canada and advancing clear, trusted standards for the profession.
