Recovery Coach, Executive Coach, Author, and National Recovery Advocate
Melissa Killeen, MSOD, MPhil, is a nationally recognized recovery coach, executive coach, author, educator, and recovery advocate dedicated to helping individuals build successful, meaningful lives in long-term recovery. With more than 25 years of personal recovery experience and decades of leadership as a business owner and entrepreneur, Melissa brings a unique perspective that combines addiction recovery coaching with the proven principles of executive coaching.
Melissa approaches recovery coaching much like an executive coach works with a CEO. She believes recovery is about more than maintaining sobriety—it is about rebuilding relationships, restoring confidence, achieving personal dreams and professional goals, and creating a life well lived. Her specialized approach is particularly effective for professionals, executives, entrepreneurs, healthcare professionals, and business owners who face the challenges of balancing recovery with career and family responsibilities.

As a certified Master Trainer of the LIFO® Assessment, Melissa utilizes evidence-based behavioral and communication tools that help clients better understand themselves and improve their interactions with family members, colleagues, and business partners. She also incorporates holistic recovery resources, including Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT or Tapping) and Matrix Re-Imprinting, providing clients with additional drug-free tools for emotional wellness and resilience.
Melissa earned two graduate degrees in Organizational Dynamics from the University of Pennsylvania, with a specialization in Executive Coaching and Leadership Management. In 2015, she received the prestigious Vernon Johnson Award from Faces & Voices of Recovery for her national leadership in advancing addiction recovery and recovery support services. She also served as President and Executive Board Member of Recovery Coaches International.
Today, Melissa coaches individuals seeking lasting recovery while training and mentoring recovery coaches across the United States. Her mission is simple: to help people move beyond addiction and build lives marked by purpose, connection, success, and lasting recovery.
