Meet Jim and Linda

Offering Transformation, Healing and Growth

Our Philosophy:

  • We believe in the unlimited potential of every person and every relationship.
  • We deem relationships to have the potential to be ever more satisfying, and people to have the potential to be ever more joyful and self-actualized.
  • We also believe that people can heal from the deepest emotional wounding, and relationships that seem hopeless can be turned around so that intimacy and connection may be restored.

Our background is unique in the field of personal growth and relationship coaching. We each have close to 40 years of personal experience and extensive training in the field of personal growth, transformational work and spiritual development.

We ourselves are constantly doing our own personal work, facing our own shadows, both individually and in our relationship. We believe it is essential to the empathic relationship that we create with our clients.
