Jolena & Alfredo (Houdini)

Jolena and Alfredo are a husband-and-wife peer recovery coach team who serve the very neighborhood they come from. With lived experience navigating substance use challenges, housing instability, and systemic barriers, they bring authenticity, empathy, and real-world understanding to their work.

As peer recovery coaches, Jolena and Alfredo build trust through shared experience and a non-judgmental approach. They support individuals in identifying personal recovery goals, developing life skills, and connecting to essential resources such as housing, healthcare, employment, and community supports.

Their work is grounded in a strengths-based, trauma-informed, and recovery-oriented philosophy. Deeply committed to giving back, Jolena and Alfredo are proud to serve their community and to show—by example—that recovery is possible.
