As professional coaches, trainers, speakers, and consultants we specialize in strengths, values, beliefs and mission. We are excited to share our insight, wisdom, and process. Our mission is to help other couples tighten their bonds, learn how to better communicate, and form a solid foundation so they too can live powerful, authentic, and purpose filled lives.

“Couples coaching with Dan and Cindy has helped our relationship flourish. Their insightful questions helped us step out of the mundane aspects of life and really consider who we want to be, the legacy we want to leave, and the daily steps we need to take to help make that vision become a reality. We would not be enjoying the relationship we have today without their intervention and support in our lives.”
