With over nine years of sobriety, I am a passionate advocate for recovery and healing. My journey began in South Africa, where I sought help for multiple addictions, including an eating disorder, alcoholism, drug addiction, and intimacy disorder. This transformative experience ignited a deep commitment within me to support others who are still suffering.

At Liberty Home, I believe in the core values that have shaped my own recovery: the importance of home, the power of shared experience, individual care, and the vital process of reintegration into society. My mission is to provide a safe and nurturing environment for those on their path to recovery, ensuring that each individual feels seen, heard, and supported.

As the founder of Liberty Home, I consider this my greatest achievement in life. I am driven by a fervent desire to help others reclaim their lives, find their strength, and embrace the possibilities of a brighter future. Together, we can foster hope, healing, and the belief that recovery is not just possible but achievable.

Now he looks to share his new outlook on life in the world and assist in reintegrating suffering addicts/ alcoholics into a new way of life. Being in recovery has given Vincent a second chance at life and he is not taking it for granted.

With my background in trauma & social sciences specializing in psychology, I bring a holistic view of what people need to thrive and help them uncover their best selves. I’m deeply passionate about making sure everyone feels valued, heard, and seen.

I understand how important it is to feel safe enough to share your story, creating a safe and compassionate space is at the heart of what we do.

I am too a recovering addict, I dedicate my time to assisting clients in their recovery with whatever they need to aid them on the process, I have found a new way of life and want to afford the same opportunity to those coming into our facility.My aim is to help through my own story and share the lessons I have learned.

After a troubled childhood and years of struggling with addiction and mental health I found recovery with the help of Liberty Home Clinic, with a new lease on life I decided to set my sights on helping others find the same peace I had found by becoming a recovery assistant for the same place that saved my life, Liberty.

I’m a compassionate registered nurse with over 25 years of experience, tending to the needs of a diverse client population. Due to my empathetic nature, I usually foster meaningful relationships with clients and their families. I have great ethical values and beliefs, and will always propagate justice among peers, colleagues and clients
