Carolyn Newman, founder of BeginAnew, is a leading expert speaker, trainer and coach on the prevention, addiction, treatment and recovery of alcohol and drug addiction.  Her own personal recovery journey of  24 years from the disease of addiction, both her own use and her family's, and professional training provides her with the tools to support you in your own transformation.  As a professional in her community, known for her leadership qualities and ability to "walk the talk", Carolyn uses a body, mind & spirit approach when partnering with individuals aspiring to create change in their lives.

Her vast experience as an administrator, manager, counselor, specialist and now coach enables her to coach others in creating pathways to their own healing and transformation.  Her gentle, yet direct approach empowers individuals to peer beyond the surface of their current existence and connect to a deeper inner voice which isn't always audible.  It is her desire "to assist you in tapping into your personal and professional potential" by discovering your own inner source of  direction.  She coaches all "students of life" to pause and embrace the incredible power within themselves and move through life consciously.

Carolyn's studies have included a B.A. in Art, M.Ed. with an Emphasis on Health Psychology, Body, Mind & Spirit and a Certification as a Professional Addiction Counselor.  As meditator, yoga practitioner and student of mindfulness she has taken numerous workshops and trainings, nationally and internationally.  Trained as a therapist, educator, and administrator coaching evolved for Carolyn out of her desire to partner with individuals ready to create significant change around the impact of addiction in their lives.
