Alex is one of the co-founders of Nova Vida Recovery Centre and takes an active interest in the day-to-day running of the centre. She ensures any business decisions are not made that are detrimental to the patient’s well-being or the delivery of the clinical programme and ensures that we only admit patients who we can help. “If our skills don’t match their needs I will recommend somewhere else”.
When not working towards enhancing the patient’s experience Alex travels extensively visiting addictions related centres of excellence in the USA and relaxing with her dog, D for, a valuable member of the Nova Vida team.
“My greatest enjoyment is my daily involvement with the patients knowing that if I give 100% and they give 100%, together we see a new life beginning – a life free of addiction”.
