Aarika Neal
CEO, John's Wings Recovery and Wellness Center Owner & Founder, John's Wings Recovery Homes
Certified Peer Support Specialist & Community Support Associate
My name is Aarika Neal. I am the owner of John's Wings Recovery Home for Women and the founder and CEO of John's Wings Recovery and Wellness Center. I am in long term recovery from substance use disorder. In 2015 I married the man of my dreams; we had the sweetest son named Sawyer and built a beautiful life together. My husband, John, was also in long term recovery and an employee of The Hope Center in Lexington, KY. He was a fierce advocate for those in recovery and spent much of his personal life outside of his work at the center helping his clients. He passed in 2020 due to complications after a stroke, and he is my inspiration for John's Wings Recovery Homes and Wellness Center. I keep his memory alive daily through sharing his story and our lives with every client that walks through the door wanting to learn a new way to live! My passion is helping those lost in addiction to find their way back to the light! There is never a day that I wake up and come to "work". This is a lifestyle for me, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
William Bourne
Chief Operations Officer
My name is William Bourne and I am in recovery from opioid use disorder. I have worked hard to change my life and as a result of that, I have a beautiful family and am able to be a part of John's Wings. I feel extremely blessed and grateful for a second chance at life and enjoy seeing the changes that occur in the lives of the clients who choose to participate in their own recovery in this amazing program.
Cadena Burton
Program Director Certified Peer Support Specialist Community Support Associate
My name is Cadena Burton and I am a grateful recovering addict, only by the grace of God! The reason I chose to become a peer support specialist is because I feel it is my primary purpose in life to spread hope to the hopeless. There isn't a day when I am helping a client learn how to stay clean and sober that I feel like I'm working. I was called to do God's work and I feel that it is an honor and a privilege to be able to do what I love every day. John's Wings is a program of integrity and honesty, and I am so happy to be a part of the team!
Ami Beckman
Certified Social Worker
My name is Ami and I obtained my Masters of Social Work Degree from Campbellsville University. My desire to help others with mental health and substance use issues stems from growing up in a community that was highly impacted by these things. I choose to be part of the solution instead of the problem today!
