Nadine Blase Psareas, born into an Italian family in Utica, NY in 1971, has now been a resident of Georgia since 1985 and a graduate of Lassiter High School in Marietta, Georgia. Nadine is a wife and mother of 6.
Having experienced at age 19 a mission trip to Haiti that redirected her path in life, Nadine studied to become a teacher and inner healing counselor. She is now the founder of Hopedealers Worldwide 501c3 non-profit organization, offering a variety of support services including Certified Integrative Behavioral Health Coaching training classes, all services at no charge to those who have been touched by the disease of addiction and in support of those in recovery in the community. Nadine holds her BSED in Education from The University of Georgia, CAMS (Certified Anger Management Specialist), DVS I (Domestic Violence Specialist I), RBS (Resolution Blueprint Specialist), ERBS (Experiential Blueprint Specialist), and is an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach through Institute of Integrative Nutrition in NY and a Certified Brain Health Coach and Licensed Brain Health Trainer through The Amen Clinics which holds the largest brain research database in the world with over 160,000 studies. She is a Retired Certified Teacher in the State of Georgia (served 10 years after graduating from The University of Georgia with her BSED), and more recently a Retired Clinical Addictions Counselor (certified at the international level and served 2 years clinically.) She also is an International Bestselling Author of HOPE DEALERS: The Calling, The Struggles, The Breakthroughs, and The Community of Believers.
Nadine also currently serves as a Global Organization Leader for a pace-setting lifestyle company. Early on in her entrepreneurial career, she was plunged into an unexpected journey she could have never imagined as her son struggled with the disease of addiction. Nadine identified a unique opportunity to combine an out-of-the-box therapeutic travel recovery project with a concept her company created called “Voluntourism”-using travel to underserved communities to build eco-friendly schools. This later evolved into establishing a 501c3 nonprofit, Hopedealers Worldwide, serving those whose lives have been touched by the disease of addiction.
In 2018, she welcomed into her home and became the guardian of a special needs young man in the community whose parents are both deceased.
In 2018, Nadine became the first recipient of the prestigious Rudy Ruettiger Award nominated by her peers and community for exemplifying the 4 “C”‘s (character, commitment, contribution, and courage).
Later in 2019, she was selected as a Legacy Award nominee at Aurea McGarry's Live your Legacy Summit for her dedication to helping people suffering from addiction and supporting their families in the process.
In 2020, Nadine, along with a team of those in long term recovery, opened an RCO (Recovery Community Organization) in Cherokee County, GA. This community center, The R.O.C.C. (Recovery Organization of Cherokee County) offers a Peer-led supportive community that supports, nurtures, encourages, and develops sustainable recovery by supporting all pathways in a safe social gathering space through a variety of programs and activities, including support group meetings, peer support coaching, workshops, classes, resource referrals, and a variety of other support services.
