Trips byPhilippa Myers

Philippa Myers is an addiction counselor, psychotherapist, experienced travel professional and founder of Sober Travel Retreats. She has lived without alcohol and drugs since 2006 and has called Antigua home for decades. Philippa studied for master’s degrees in Addiction Counseling from the Hazelden Betty Ford Graduate School and in Adlerian Psychology. She has extensive experience helping individuals and families affected by addiction and trauma, including work at Hazelden Betty Ford. Before becoming a counselor, Philippa raised two children as a single mother, opened a second-hand bookstore and café in Antigua and built a nationally recognized travel agency. She combines professional knowledge with lived experience, local connections and a firm belief that an alcohol-free life should contain plenty of adventure. She created this retreat to bring together the things that helped transform her own life: meaningful conversation, authentic travel, supportive friendships, personal growth and the occasional breathtaking volcano. “Living without alcohol or drugs is not simply about giving something up. It is about rediscovering who you are and creating a life filled with connection, meaning, adventure and joy.”
