As the mother of a loved one in recovery, Lisa knows the toll addiction takes on families—and the hope that comes with healing. Her warmth, patience, and unwavering belief in second chances make her a trusted presence for both clients and their families.

Lisa’s mission is to break the stigma around addiction, create space for meaningful recovery, and ensure that every person who walks through Hidden Secret’s doors feels supported and seen. She and her husband Mike have been married for over 39 years, raised two sons, and are now proud grandparents to eight grandchildren—reminding us all of the strength found in love, resilience, and family.

Co-Founder & CFO

With over 30 years of experience as a business owner and entrepreneur, Mike brings financial leadership and heartfelt purpose to Hidden Secret Recovery. As both a co-founder and father who has personally walked alongside a loved one through addiction, his commitment to this work runs deep.

Mike’s approach is rooted in compassion, resilience, and a belief that recovery is not only possible—it’s transformational. He plays an active role in supporting both the operations of the centre and the individuals and families we serve, offering encouragement and wisdom shaped by lived experience.

A devoted husband, father, and mentor, Mike helps foster a healing environment where clients feel empowered to rebuild their lives—one step at a time. His message is simple but powerful: no dream is too big, and no detail too small, when you're ready to give recovery your all.
