Drawing deeply from a nourishing well, we bring compassion, perspective, courage, and wisdom to our clients and students. Throughout the long journey in our marriage and working together for nearly five decades, we serve as living examples of what's possible when we apply tools and attitudes for healthy self-care, couple care, and family care. We are honored to witness the beauty and strength of our numerous devoted clients and workshop/retreat participants over the years. 

We offer you new approaches to intentionally create your lives, individually and together. The ripple effect created through your family, friends, and community is dynamic and can build a more peaceful, safer world.
