Hello, I'm Jeff Butterfield, founder of Lumera Recovery Pathways. For over two decades, my focus has been helping people find meaningful, lasting recovery.
My journey began with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing at Curtin University, fuelled by a genuine interest in mental health. After a fulfilling career in acute mental health, I discovered my true purpose in supporting individuals and families facing challenges with alcohol and other drugs.
Acknowledged at the Nurse of the Year Awards in 2015, I stepped into community-based treatment, offering genuine support directly in clients’ homes. I later coordinated an inpatient addiction therapy program before founding Lumera Recovery Pathways.
My focus is on creating tailored treatment pathways that empower clients and their families and loved ones, while nurturing strong, trusting relationships throughout their recovery journey.
Those experiencing drug and alcohol challenges are among the most vulnerable and stigmatised members of our community. I’m committed to helping shift this perception and ensuring that people receive the high-quality, compassionate healthcare they deserve.
To all the clients who have welcomed me into their lives, I would like to acknowledge your courage, honesty, and generosity. Supporting people through some of their most personal and sensitive moments is a profound privilege. Witnessing them work through and overcome these challenges is the greatest privilege of all.
