Mike Govoni has a thriving private practice as a Trauma Informed Recovery Coach where he believes helping people create a feeling of safety and connection within their own body is essential to becoming well and achieve long term recovery. As a person in recovery for over 16 years, Mike has personally walked this path and knows what it takes to not only recover but to heal. He has overcome what he calls "Mount Everest like hurdles" such as childhood trauma, addiction and chronic illness that lead to him having a profound spiritual awakening that he believes was the catalyst to his healing. Mike has extensive experience working in the addiction/recovery field including supporting three major hospital emergency rooms in Boston for the opioid epidemic as a Recovery Coach helping patients with substance abuse and related complications. .
Mike believes in addressing the whole person, not only to achieve greater freedom and abstinence from substances and harmful habits, but to empower clients with tools and resources to meet everyday life with more inner resilience, presence, and ease.
