Welcome to Andrea Arlington
Women’s Reinvention & Luxury 1:1 Coaching
For the woman who’s done it all - except come home to herself.
My Personal Story of Loss and Resilience
I’m Dr. Andrea Arlington—a Certified Family Recovery and Relationship Coach, Case Manager, and Invitational Interventionist with over a decade of experience helping families heal from addiction, crisis, and relational breakdowns. Today, I also guide high-capacity women through personal reinvention—women who’ve built extraordinary lives yet feel disconnected from their own peace. Whether you're navigating family recovery or returning to yourself, my work is rooted in compassion, nervous system wisdom, and the belief that healing is the gateway to wholeness.
Transforming Pain into Purpose
Driven by my personal experiences, I've dedicated
my life to guiding others through similar struggles.
I understand the depths of despair that addiction
brings along with generational trauma and our
childhood, unresolved wounds. In my recovery
journey, I came to know the power of support,
of having a coach who walked and crawled in my shoes, and helped by instilling hope,
building resilience, and find myself and my joy. My families story of turning trauma into triumph has been featured in a Netflix Documentary, in a Major Motion Picture and in many news outlets and television shows.
My journey to coaching is rooted in personal trials.
At 21, I faced the profound loss of my brother, Ben, to addiction, leaving
a lasting impact on me and my family.
This wasn't my only brush with addiction's harsh realities;
I also navigated through my daughter's battle with heroin
addiction. These experiences deeply acquainted me with
addiction's multifaceted challenges, affecting not just the
individual, but the entire family.
Our lowest point came when our private life, including
my daughter's involvement in the "Bling Ring" Celebrity
burglaries, was aired on "Pretty Wild," publicly magnifying
our struggles and pain. Despite this, hope remained.
Remarkably, my daughter and her friend have now been
heroin-free for over a decade, leading fulfilling lives and
caring for their children. Their story is a testament to
recovery's power. Our family's narrative is a mix of hardship
and triumph, a reminder that even in darkness, there's
always hope for healing and renewal.
2013 marked a turning point for me, marked by the end of my
11-year marriage and the birth of my granddaughter, Harper,
amidst a toxic relationship with her mother, my daughter Alexis.
That year, Alexis and her husband confronted me, leading me to
recognize that my own wounded inner child was contributing to
our struggles.
Their words propelled me to seek guidance from mentors, coaches, and therapists.
Harper's arrival ignited my resolve to break the cycle of addiction and mental health issues in our family and address the generational trauma. Recognizing myself as an "adult child," I committed to a deep exploration of addiction and co-dependency, aiming to heal not only my family but also myself.
I’m now a coach for both families in crisis and women ready for personal rebirth. My approach is rooted in empathy, education, and
empowerment - designed to heal not only individuals, but the
systems and stories that shape them.Whether you’re navigating
a loved one’s addictionor realizing it’s your time to come home
to yourself, I offer more than strategies—I offer sacred partnership.
Through decades of lived and professional experience, I help my clients cultivate emotional safety, deepen self-trust, and create lasting change.
Together, we’ll explore healing, reshape your inner landscape, and build a future rooted in peace, presence, and personal truth.
This is your invitation to step forward—into recovery, reinvention, or both.
Let’s begin.
