We both:

…came from alcoholic homes where we learned to abandon ourselves early in life.

…came from first marriages where we did not understand what it took to create real intimacy with our partner.

…healed our wounds and created a deeply fulfilling relationship with each other and with our Higher Power.

VICKIE: In my first marriage I had a habit of blaming and criticizing my husband. Then wondered why I didn’t have the intimacy I wanted. It was a long road of learning and healing, but I committed to learning the skills to create the intimacy I so longed for.

I had the huge honor of being coached by best-selling author Gay Hendricks, Ph.D. who wrote the book, Conscious Loving.  I then embarked on a profound journey of healing at the University of Santa Monica where I earned my Masters Degree in Spiritual Psychology.  It was here that I started my sacred journey of reclaiming my True Self. I also studied and am greatly influenced by the work of Pia Mellody who authored many books on 12 step recovery.

Over time I learned how to stop abandoning myself and what to do instead of criticize my partner.

PAUL: In my first marriage, I was not very good at listening. When my wife came to me with a problem or complaint, it wasn’t long before I stopped hearing her. If it was a complaint about another person or a work situation, I would quickly go to “fix it” mode. If her complaint was about me, I’d get defensive, criticize her, or plan the quickest escape possible. By the end of that marriage, my defenses were up all the time making real intimacy impossible. When it ended, I knew I had work to do.

I restarted therapy and 12 Step program; devoured the work of Eckhart Tolle, Byron Katie, and Dr. Margaret Paul’s Inner Bonding. I  earned my Masters Degree in Spiritual Psychology and, with Vickie, did another year of study to become a Soul-Centered, Certified Life Coach, which I’ve practiced since 2015.

I've learned how to listen to my partner—to be fully present even when she’s upset.

Vickie and I both learned how to let the other person be who they are without penalty.

I’m in love in a way I didn’t know existed. We both feel deeply loved and appreciated; and that continues to grow—and surprise me.

It's a real pleasure to share the tools and practices we use to create peace inside ourselves and grow our loving relationship with each other.
