My Story

EMPOWER – GUIDE – SUPPORT

Welcome to B-U Recovery Coaching. What was once my mess has now become my message…

 I am Julanda Theron, owner of B-U Recovery Coaching and I overcame addiction after struggling for 4 years, and multiple rehabilitation centres. Being an addict and going through addiction, is like slowly dying, but somehow still being alive.  I know how it feels to be alone, to feel you want to give up. I had to hit rock bottom to turn around and to start rebuilding my life.

The question I had to ask myself was: Who am I? This was where it all started for me. I had to find it in myself to want to change.

The question is do you want to change?

 I learned through my addiction that there is a life after addiction and I learned how to overcome MY addiction.

Today I am more than 12 years in recovery. I have dedicated these years in trying to make a difference in my community and by helping people in their recovery.  I coach with a mix of passion, lived experiences and years of formal education. I want to help my clients move to a place of wellness and experience their own freedom.

When there is a hole in one’s soul, it tends to make you feel empty inside. It results from the inability to love. Recovery coaching helps to peel back the layers and restore that hole through support, connections, accountability and change. To love yourself is just the beginning of the recovery journey.

I did change and now is your time to shine! I know you can!  It takes determination, dedication, self-discipline and the ability to want to learn and move forward. The question is “If I could, would I have changed anything?  No. This made me who I am today; I am me, I am strong-willed, resilient, mindful, patient and alive! I have the passion and compassion to help you to succeed.

I am Julanda Theron, an accredited International Recovery Coach (certified by ICR and trained by U-ACT), an accredited International Peer recovery Specialist (certified by ICR and trained by U-ACT), an accredited Life Coach (certified and trained by Action factory) and a B.A Honours graduate in Psychology at the University of the Free State.

I specialise in recovery coaching.  I empower people to help themselves to discover their next best step, while creating a fulfilling, authentic and productive life.  It is helpful to remember that addiction is a disease of the brain, just like asthma is a disease of the lungs. Addiction does not mean “moral failure”. I don’t just coach’ I empower, guide and support you. I will unlock your potential to maximize your own performance.

You are not a drop in the ocean….. You are the entire ocean in a drop – Rumi
