Michelle King

Recreation Coordinator

Michelle plans and leads recreational outings for clients. Through her programming, she strives to connect clients with learning opportunities, new adventures, and self-reflective experiences. She enjoys supporting clients as they participate in unfamiliar activities, provide positive feedback to each other, and develop friendships in sobriety. With each outing, she hopes to share with clients the freedom, peace, and healing that the outdoors can offer.

Michelle chose to pursue a role in substance use disorder treatment after working as a certified pharmacy technician and struggling with her own non-drug or alcohol-related addiction. From these experiences, she realized first-hand the influence drugs can exert over individuals’ lives, as well as how destructive addiction can be.

Michelle enjoys helping individuals who are struggling. She wants those facing substance use disorder to know that there are compassionate specialists and sober communities who can guide them to healing, that their recovery is worth fighting for, and that they deserve full, purposeful, and happy lives.

Currently attending Utah Valley University, Michelle is working towards her associate’s degree and certified substance use disorder counselor (SUDC) credential. She intends to continue her education and eventually earn licensure as a recreational therapist.

Michelle has run the Utah Valley Half Marathon and the Heber Valley Half-Marathon. She's currently training to run a full marathon. In her free time, she likes to paddle board, ski, run, hike, zip-line, and participate in many other thrill-seeking activities, such as paragliding and jumping out of planes.
