About Ronni and Jennie

We are sisters who weren't supposed to be friends.

 

Growing up in a family with addiction, abuse, and untreated mental illness harmed us physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Our parents often pitted us against each other, which led to some abuse between us. As we got older, we knew we wanted a better relationship, but struggled to make it happen.

 

It was only when we married and began having children that we looked back at our childhood and recognized how bad it really was. We saw that the abuse in our home had wounded us deeply.

 

We wanted so much to be good parents, and to break the cycle of intergenerational trauma and abuse for our children! That motivated us to try anything we thought would help.

 

We read books. We went to counseling and support groups, like Al-Anon and Adult Children Of Alcoholics (ACOA). These approaches helped us understand what happened to us, but they only took us so far. Over the last three decades, we have deepened our healing by exploring yoga, meditation, energy healing, sound healing, breathwork, and intuitive work---all of which have brought amazing transformation in our lives, and the lives of those we love. As part of this process, we rebuilt our relationship, giving each other the love and support we needed to heal. Now, our mission in life is to help others find healing, too.

 

We know there are LOTS of people out there like us. 

 

Millions of us have grown up in abusive homes. We often become adults who think that there is something wrong with us, that WE are the problem. Maybe we are miserable and blame our siblings. Or, we might not even recognize that what we have experienced is "abuse" (if you're wondering whether you were abused in your childhood home, you can take our quiz to find out). 

​

Whatever your situation, we can help.

​

Whether you are just beginning to realize that you experienced trauma in your childhood, or you are looking to take your healing to the next level, we can help you build the life you are longing for. 

​

We have been where you are.

 

We know how scary it is in the beginning of the healing process. We know what it feels like to be "stuck" and not know how to find your way forward, or what to try next. We have been healing for more than 30 years, and we want to share all that we have learned.

 

We discuss our experiences (in our book and podcast), provide other free resources here on our website (take a look around), answer your questions (you can email us right here), and offer private coaching sessions, all to show you that the life you long for can be yours.

 

It is truly possible to break free of your past, build healthy relationships with those you love, be the person you were meant to be, and live a peaceful, joyful life.
