Testimonials

“Jomo and his team provided a workshop for our couples. He was warm and engaging; he made our couples comfortable. By the end of the workshop, we had laughed, cried and grew.”

“We attended your session for pre-marital couples we were a little nervous about sharing with other couples present. You let us know that sharing would be done in our own couple group, and the conversation exercises that we did helped us see how we got stuck and disconnected from each other. Knowing how to interrupt that pattern has made our conversations more productive and loving.”

“D and I have been married for 20 years; there are several times that hurtful things happened; you helped us understand the power of forgiveness and genuine apologies we now can get off the hurts merry go around.”
