David Essel, M.S.

David Essel,M.S., Private Addiction Recovery Coach (20 years of practice), All Faiths Minister and Hay House author, has developed a 30 day recovery program that helps to create a total mind, body, spirit based recovery system for each individual based on their specific needs and circumstances. A deep understanding of all facets of the addiction process, emotional recovery and support systems, spiritual practices, nutritional supplementation, exercise  and even financial management are all included to ensure the ultimate success for each individual.

David was successfully helping others recover before his own recovery began in 1996, and continues to this very day. And in his own words, will joyously continue to be a part of his daily routine for the rest of his life. He uses the word "joyously", as he has seen the impossible happen. Where once he could not have imagined a day without alcohol or drug use, he now enthusiastically approaches each day with passion and wonder and helps others to do the same. Read David Essel's Blog

Caroline Adams Miller

Caroline Adams Miller, MAPP, is an internationally-known coach, author and motivational speaker on the topic of goal accomplishment and its connection with happiness, and is recognized as one of the world's leaders on this research and how it can be applied to one's life for maximum transformation and growth. "My Name is Caroline" is one of the first books written by a survivor of an eating disorder.

Caroline’s next book, “Purged: How I Beat Bulimia For Good and Found Real Happiness,” is one of the first books of its kind to tackle the subject of how eating disorder survivors can and do create lives of joy and health that persist past the early years of recovery. Some media reports have led people to believe that there is an “addictive personality” that careens from addiction to addiction without ever experiencing lasting wellness, but Caroline’s story is a demonstration that many people can, and do, put food into its proper perspective and then go on to handle other life challenges without sliding backwards into food abuse or turning to other addictive substances or behaviors.

Caroline's current best selling book "Creating Your Best Life: The Ultimate List List Guide" breaks new ground with its comprehensive and evidence-based guide to accomplishing any goal on your life list.
