Abigail (Abby) Teixeira is a speaker, trauma recovery coach, feminine leadership mentor, 5x best-selling author, writer, and mother of four based in Edmonton, Alberta. A woman in long-term recovery and a survivor of childhood trauma, Abby has dedicated her life to helping women transform pain into purpose and healing into leadership.
With over 18 years of experience as a Nurse and more than a decade of advocacy in addiction recovery and complex trauma, Abby weaves together trauma-informed care, Woman-Centered Coaching, ancestral remembrance practices, and Human Design to support cycle-breaking women in reclaiming their voices and leading in ways that are sustainable, embodied, and aligned.
She is the founder of The Sovereign Woman Rising publication, creator of the Sovereign Seasons™ Ceremony Series and Reclaim and Rise™ community gatherings, and serves as a facilitator with the Healing & CPTSD Foundation, where she leads peer support circles for addiction recovery and parenting with complex trauma.
Abby is also an Advisory Board Member with the Women's Recovery Leadership Foundation, a multi-best-selling author, and an internationally featured speaker whose work has been highlighted in Sovereign Magazine, Female Entrepreneur Magazine, The Healing and C-PTSD Chronicles and HEAL Magazine. As a second-generation Latina Canadian with Indigenous Mayan ancestry, she is passionate about decolonizing healing spaces and amplifying the voices of women in recovery, particularly women of the global majority.
Her work is rooted in a simple but powerful belief:
Healing is leadership, and when women heal, entire generations change.
Our Promise
How Is Recovery.com Different?
We believe everyone deserves access to accurate, unbiased information about mental health and recovery. That's why we have a comprehensive set of treatment providers and don't charge for inclusion. Any center that meets our criteria can list for free. We do not and have never accepted fees for referring someone to a particular center. Providers who advertise with us must be verified by our Research Team and we clearly mark their status as advertisers.
Our goal is to help you choose the best path for your recovery. That begins with information you can trust.
