ABOUT
This is where I come in.
I’m Norman. I live in Vancouver—and this is the work I do.
If you’re here, something probably happened recently — and you’re trying to make sense of it before everything unravels.
I work privately, one-to-one, with people who want to make real changes in their drinking or drug use — without stepping away from their lives.
I show up consistently — with careful listening and practical guidance.
A steady presence when things feel uncertain.
You don’t need to have all the answers to start.
And you don’t have to give up on the life you’ve been building.
I’ve spent years working with individuals and families in this city
—alongside decades of my own lived recovery experience.
I’m trained as a recovery coach, but more importantly, I understand how this actually plays out day to day.

You might be here if…
You’ve started to question your relationship with alcohol or drugs
You don’t need a plan yet. Just a place to talk honestly about what’s been happening — and what you’re starting to notice.
You want to make a change — but not step away from your life
We work one-to-one, in real time — around your actual schedule, not inside a program.
You’re looking for steady, private support
Consistent, practical support — conversations that help you stay oriented when things feel uncertain.
After a relapse — or when old patterns return
We slow things down and look at what’s happening — without judgment — so you can decide what comes next.

This is how I work.
Most people don’t go looking for a recovery coach — or what’s often called a sober coach. They reach a point where something is no longer working — and they don’t want a program or a label.
What’s often missing isn’t more effort — it’s space to think clearly. That’s where we begin.
Nothing needs to be explained perfectly before we talk. You don’t have to hide anything.
We work together — quietly, in your real world.
Real change doesn’t happen in isolation.
It happens over time — in daily decisions, relationships, work, and family life.
That’s where you and I work together — quietly, in your real world.

People often tell me the same thing…
I reached out to Norman about six months ago — and we’ve been working together ever since. He’s been an absolutely phenomenal part of my recovery journey — supportive, understanding, and incredibly easy to talk to.
Our conversations never feel forced; he’s a great listener and has become a true friend along the way. I’m very grateful for the guidance and perspective he’s brought into my life.

You don’t need to have everything figured out before we talk. Most people come into that first conversation unsure of what to say — or where it’s heading.
You might be wondering if your drinking or drug use is becoming a problem — and you're ready to take a closer look.
That first conversation is simple. We talk about what’s been going on, what you’re noticing, and what feels uncertain. There’s no pressure to explain everything perfectly — and no expectation that you have answers.
If you decide to keep going, we take it one step at a time — at a pace that works for you, in a way that fits your life.
You can book a free conversation at a time that works for you.
