I'm Coventina Waterhawk, an inspiring and compassionate HOPE Ambassador who guides dual diagnosed individuals along their healing recovery journey by sharing my lived recovery experience and the practical, holistic tools I have used to thrive, one day at a time. My expertise includes knowing firsthand what it's like to be dismissed by doctors and nurses, and having the courage to advocate for myself until I found the help I needed, not just to survive, but truly live.

 

Since September 1986, I have helped thousands find solutions to their struggles by speaking to groups large and small, my favorite way to carry the message of what is possible. I return yearly as a keynote speaker to several events, including a campout with over 300 participants. I offer keynote speaking engagements with book signings, both in-person and online, around the globe.

I also share my journey through my bestselling books, offering hope to those walking a similar path. My latest publication Dually Diagnosed Dually Blessed: From Struggle to Purpose reached #1 in the Kindle store shortly after its release and has received multiple international awards in Mental Health and Addiction Recovery — something I'm truly grateful for.

I have been an Intuitive Guide since around age ten. Children came to me for answers, and everyone knew I knew. Nobody, including me, knew how. Looking back, I should have charged them their allowance. 😊

​

Living through multiple traumas: betrayal, unfathomable domestic abuse, multiple psychiatric hospitalizations, and several Dark Night of the Soul moments, I have not only survived, but I have thrived. "Hope" is the guiding force in my life: Help Others Process Emotions through Healing, Optimism, and a Plan for Empowerment.

​

I walk gently upon the Mother's belly, humbled by her unconditional love, and she teaches me how to love and support others. When I recognized my Divinity in August 2001, I could see the Divine in everyone. I am grateful that Mother Earth and the Universe chose me as a lightworker. All of my pain and darkness have catapulted me into the spiritual spotlight, where I share my message of resilience, transformation, and healing.

​

I currently teach holistic coping methods to IOP patients at a dual-diagnosis hospital; a full-circle moment, having attended many IOP groups throughout my own journey. My book Dually Diagnosed Dually Blessed: From Struggle to Purpose has evolved into a therapeutic workbook, giving birth to my Recovery Circle beginning in the summer of 2026, a three-month journey where participants dive deep into the book and discover the coping methods that work best for them. Family members and friends are warmly encouraged to attend as well.

​

Beyond my professional work, I am endlessly entertained by my two fur babies, Jezebel and Cinnamon, being typical kitties who knock everything off every surface they can find. 😄

​

I reside in southern New Mexico, where I partner with the Suicide Prevention Task Force and co-host fundraising book signings throughout the area. I advocate for domestic abuse survivors, mental health awareness, addiction recovery, trauma, and holistic well-being. If you're struggling to make sense of your situation, I would be honored to help guide you toward a clear path to your goals, wishes, and dreams. Namasté
