Meet Your Facilitators
Brian and Shimila met in 2010 and we brought all of our past experiences of heart break, relationship challenges, previous marriages with us as we blended our families together. Using Positive Discipline tools we felt supported as parents to provide our family the tools to ensure the needs of belonging and significance were met and lo and behold we have raised quite capable, resourceful young people! We now have two children in college and one engaged to be married! As we explore this new empty nest, Brian and I find ourselves applying these same timeless tools to our relationship and are experiencing a deepening of connection and love. We cannot wait to share with you the same tools that have supported deeper inroads to each other's hearts.
Brian and Shimila have completed Keeping the Joy in Relationships Facilitator Training. Shimila is a Certified Positive Discipline Parent Educator and Certified Keeping the Joy in Relationships Facilitator.
