About NGRI
There are three things in life you should never forget. One is your path. Two is the journey. Three is learning to love it along the way. Paths are those small places you believe did not mean anything. The journey is still unfolding before you and learning to love it is sometimes hard to do until you have understanding. It is all about what you choose to do with each.
New Grace Recovery Institute is a place of paths and journey. My paths created clarity to begin the journey. Every path has tests, trials, and mistakes. Each path will help you to understand your journey.
Dr. Janora Shaw-Hicks, Director
The Path
The path was not easy, but it was necessary. It took me years to understand every test, trial, and mistake were used to give me wisdom to help others. Every step led me to this moment in time and if one step was missed, I would not be the person I am today. Be encouraged that your path is leading you to one of the greatest moments in your life. Do not give up. Keep moving.
In the intricate details of my past are what I call trinkets to help others. Such as domestic violence, two comas, airplane crash survivor, and attempted suicide. I shared this to let you know If I can overcome these challenges so can you. This is why I call them trinkets because they will be used to help others to overcome and find peace.
The Journey
We change with grace. Our recovery is a beautiful process unfolding before us every day. Trust that each small step is bringing you closer to what you have spent your whole life searching for. This new chapter will kindle your inner vision and bring a steady sense of peace back to your spirit. Just as I discovered hope, you can find it too.
My journey included taking my experiences and adding educational teachings to promote a well-rounded new path. My professional background includes studies in criminal justice and trauma, alongside specialized certifications and a master's in Christian counseling. These tools were gained specifically to support others in rising above life's hurdles and know we are here to walk beside you.
The Future
A radiant future awaits those who trust that wholeness is within reach. NGRI was established as a vessel for hope, demonstrating that recovery is attainable and dreams are possible.
My personal growth continues with a doctrine in Organizational Leadership making the road of recovery understandable to others. We are dedicated to guiding you as you navigate your path toward a purposeful future.
