Recovery belongs at work. I help organizations make room for it.

I’m Candace Alley — speaker, trainer, and consultant. I work with employers, HR teams, and leaders who want workplaces where recovery, grief, and mental health can be spoken about out loud. I bring a counselor’s credentials and a lived-experience lens most consultants can’t offer. In September 2026 I brought that work to the White House.

Hey, I’m Candace. I spent a decade building recovery support from the inside — as a certified alcohol and drug counselor, a board-certified health and wellness coach, and someone who has lived it.

Now I bring that into organizations: training managers to respond well, helping HR write policy that holds up in a real crisis, and speaking to rooms that have lost someone. If your workplace is dealing with addiction, grief, or sudden loss and nobody knows what to say, that’s the work.

Most organizations find out they have no plan on their worst day.

Keynotes, training, and consulting so yours is not one of them.
