Recovery Strategies 4 Life

Unlike traditional recovery programs that only address the soul and body, RS4L combines healing strategies for all three parts of our being: spirit, soul, and body.

It is specifically developed for individuals who are looking to get to the root of their pain. Whether coming out of abuse, addiction, or a painful loss, RS4L promises a journey that will completely transform how you see healing and recovery.

Life is never the same when you know how to use the fertilizer of your past to bloom!

Professional therapists, lay counselors, and pastors, will also find this a perfect tool to enhance the healing journey of anyone they counsel.

Ginny Priz

Certified Professional Life Coach

To help other women find this freedom, Ginny became a certified Christian life coach, speaker, and author of Ditch The Drama. She also anchors Bloom Today, a Christian talk show broadcast in over 200 countries.
