Debby Berry

With 30 plus years in the educational field, working with others in a nurturing capacity comes second nature to Kembali Co-Founder, Debby Berry. As a recovering addict herself, Debby studied Substance Use Counseling at Okanagan College in British Columbia where she learned about theories of substance use, current trends in addiction, harm reduction, and strategies including relapse prevention and the implementation of wellness plans. She also learned how to develop counseling skills as they pertain to motivational interviewing and cognitive behavioral therapy.

Debby also spent 10 years working at a personal development company where she’s facilitated over 120 Connections workshops, many alongside her son, Clayton. Connections workshops are owned by Terry Lige who runs Inside Out Leadership Development Group. She’s had extensive training under Lige, and his transformative workshops will be incorporated into Kembali Recovery Center’s 28-day program.
