As well as working with clients individually Herman & Karen have also been leading couples and support groups since 2009. They had been interested in working with couples since they first met at a relationship workshop in 2005. Since their first date, they've been using their own relationship to help others succeed.
They say relationship is both “a sanctuary for healing and a crucible for awakening” and that relationship provides opportunities for growth that are not available through other means. They provide a safe space where you can expand your comfort zone whether in relationship or many other common (and uncommon) life struggles and dilemmas. Contact Us
