Extend Client Care—Improve Outcomes
BrightLife is an adjunct therapeutic modality purpose-designed to bolster the effectiveness of traditional addiction treatment regimens.
​
It's a known fact: Many clients emerge from treatment without the skills and insights they need to stabilize their recovery amidst the stresses and challenges of daily life.
BrightLife was created to address this fact with a new approach proven to improve long-range client outcomes.
​
Built on our work helping over 6,000 U.S. service members and veterans heal from trauma and addiction, BrightLife's yoga-based protocol employs a mix of evidence-based cognitive and somatic interventions that deliver a comprehensive mind-body approach to wellness—while interrupting key internal triggers that fuel addiction.
Best of all, BrightLife can be fully performed online from the comfort of home in less than an hour a day.

The BrightLife Difference
While the BrightLife Method rides on a vehicle of yoga and mindfulness techniques, it bears little resemblance to the yoga programs typically found in recovery environments.
​
That's because our process employs an integrated, multi-modal approach that employs customized somatic practices together with cognitive exercises to restore balance to the addiction-affected nervous system while simultaneously neutralizing a range of maladaptive habits of mind that fuel the impulsivity, cravings, and reactivity that drive addicted behaviors.
​
Seasoned clinicians will recognize inspiration from a range of proven therapeutic modalities including cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, mindfulness, trauma-informed yoga sequences, and yoga nidra.
The core objective of the program is to enhance client self-empowerment by reducing triggering emotions, modulating impulses, and enhancing mental and emotional resilience and control.
​​
Whether integrated as a complementary modality in an existing treatment regimen, implemented as a home-based after-care program, or offered as a stand-alone wellness program, BrightLife is proven to create meaningful shifts in self-mastery and resilience to help clients regain control—for life.​
After the very first week, I felt like I was a completely new person.
I no longer feel like someone struggling in recovery. I just feel free. I cannot thank you enough for the joy you have brought back into my life.

My drinking was a way to cope with my PTSD symptoms...BrightLife helped both!
A huge part of my addiction was driven by childhood trauma. After just a few weeks of the BrightLife practices, my need to self-medicate has all but vanished.
