Our Story
Funny but true—we met in 1999 at a Seattle nightclub called The Last Supper Club. Yep, that was the actual name. You can probably guess... we weren’t exactly living for God.
Back then, we said we’d never get married or have kids. We were partying, living for ourselves, and telling ourselves, “We don’t need a piece of paper to prove our love.”
But God had other plans.
He got a hold of my heart first, and I started praying and working on myself. Over time, Mike came around—he quit drinking, I let go of control, and we began to rebuild from the inside out.
We've been married 16 years, have 3 amazing kids and we’ve made it our mission to help restore marriages and heal families from the inside out. We've seen firsthand that God can take the most broken story and redeem it.
We believe in fighting for the whole family—because when one person gets free, it sets the whole household in motion.

Do you JUST work with the wife? Or do you also work with couples?
We get this question all the time.

We get this question all the time.
We get this question all the time.
Why we do this...
My (Janelle) passion is working with wives—helping women heal, find their identity, and walk in their God-given purpose. When a wife gets free, it creates a ripple effect: her marriage shifts, her kids are impacted, and the dysfunction starts to break.
Mike works with the husbands. Together, we coach couples—but 80% of the time, it’s the wife who reaches out first. That’s exactly how our story went too.
I always tell the wives:
“Don’t wait for your husband to change! You go first. When he sees it’s safe to grow, he usually follows.”
It’s not about who needs to change—it’s about who’s willing to. And if just one of you is willing, God can start working.

What we've learned...
Every couple brings baggage into marriage—past wounds, trauma, or just unhealthy patterns that were never healed. Maybe there’s been infidelity. Maybe addictions. Or maybe life just got busy and now you feel more like roommates than soulmates.
That was all part of our story.
We know what it’s like to feel stuck, to pray for change, and wonder why nothing's happening—even when you're doing all the “right things.”
Church. Bible. Prayer. Still stuck.
That’s why we go deeper.

The baggage we bring in to marriage can be endless, but regardless, too many other things are getting in the way of you having a happy and healthy marriage.
