  • What about Bob? Bob is my coach and he makes a difference. I have grown since I have started working with Bob. His insight is one thing; his ability to be able to understand and communicate is on another level. Bob connected with the true me and really helped me understand and sort through my thoughts. I realized my own strengths and potential. I will continue to work with Bob as I feel needed. Healing a journey and I am on a good one. Having Bob as a coach is a blessing. I am grateful our paths crossed. I am grateful to be able to see me again!!! Thank you Bob. You are my favorite gem.

  • My mom was the one who found Free To Be Me Recovery Coaching and suggested Bob Ivanoff as a potential Coach. Right away I felt that Bob and I would be a good fit. Bob’s approach to coaching is both motivating and challenging. His recovery tool box is stacked and I’ve been able to adopt many of the teachings he practices himself. Sustained recovery is not easy but I can honestly say that much my success can be attributed to our continued one-on-one sessions. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

  • When I reflect on my recovery journey, one name stands out consistently—Bob. From the very beginning, Bob has been more than just a supporter; he’s been a steady anchor in some of my most turbulent waters. His unwavering presence and genuine care gave me the courage to take my first steps toward healing when everything felt hopeless. Bob didn’t just offer advice—he listened. Really listened. Whether I needed someone to talk to at 2 a.m. or a gentle nudge to keep going on days I felt stuck, he showed up, not out of obligation, but out of compassion. His empathy helped me feel seen during moments I felt invisible. He celebrated my small wins as if they were major milestones, and reminded me that setbacks weren’t failures—they were part of growth. Bob believed in my potential long before I could see it myself, and that belief became the fuel for my determination. Thanks to Bob’s kindness, encouragement, and patience, I’ve grown into a version of myself I never thought possible. My recovery hasn’t been easy, but with Bob by my side, it’s been possible. I’m endlessly grateful to him—not just for helping me through it, but for helping me believe I could.
