Testimonials

  • Being able to use our existing EFT therapy in the EFT couples intensive weekend was instrumental in helping us get unstuck where we were stuck in therapy! I appreciate your ability to organize & map the material, place us on that map, see where our hurdles were and assist us in move through and past those hurdles. Your safe, gentle and direct style was exactly what we needed to move the needle forward in our marriage.” – January 2022
  • Thank you for allowing us the opportunity for a mini-intensive.  Healing from an affair is hard enough and having a safe environment to process difficult events was necessary.  We needed the uninterrupted time to sift through the content and emotions and begin moving forward towards healing.” –April 2022
