Anonymous - Safe Passage Companion
In the past year, I experienced the sudden and tragic loss of two close family members. Consequently, my alcohol consumption increased considerably. With increasing concern, my therapist and wife intervened quickly and arranged for me to go to Thailand for inpatient rehabilitation. Theo was hired to accompany me to the treatment facility. While I thought a travel companion was unnecessary, in retrospect I realize this was not a luxury — I was physically exhausted and confused and needed his help.
Theo brought me to the airport, took care of the check-in, and was prepared to do everything for me throughout the flight. He even handled a missed connection swiftly. Once we arrived in Chiang Mai, a driver from the treatment center was there to pick us up. Even during the check-in, Theo stayed by my side, chatting with me and ensuring I was okay.
Theo also left his contact details should I need to call him. We also kept in touch during my stay via email. The intensive supervision and my stay have been successful so far!
I want to thank Theo enormously for his support and guidance.
Anonymous - Recovery Companion
After a 3 year and 3 month stretch of sobriety I had a relapse. I’ve known Theo during my sobriety but during my relapse our contact had faded a bit. When I came back in the program, Theo had become a professional Recovery Coach and I decided to hire him for 1 month. This was the best thing I could have done in my early recovery. He helped me to get things straight again by reminding me of the objectives I set for myself and helping me to achieve these objectives. He always let me make my own decisions but gave me his best advice as well. Now, 2 and a half month later I feel rock-solid in recovery again. Theo had helped me to regain my recovery-network and helped me to get closure on the things I had to do in order to remain in recovery. I would most definitely hire Theo again, and I would definitely recommend him. Theo helped me get my life back in order and we became even closer friends in the process. I’m forever grateful.

The purpose of this letter is to serve as a professional and personal reference for Theo de Vries. I have the pleasure of working with Theo in my team at peterterhorst.com. He is always reliable, hardworking and dedicated to helping others. He is a quick learning and is always eager to learn more. He has very good connections with the clients, and they seemed to appreciate his honesty and his compassion.
