Tom & Ann have dedicated 25 years of their professional lives to bringing relational healing and relapse prevention work to individuals and couples in recovery. They are both in recovery from multiple addictions for a combined 61 years. They conducted monthly workshops at the Betty Ford Center for 14 years, where patients consistently evaluated their workshops as " the peak treatment experience". They also conducted these workshops throughout the United States and internationally as well as running a private practice in Rancho Mirage, California for 17 years.

This incredible " in the trenches " experience with alcoholics, addicts and family members at various recovery levels, served as the inspiration for their groundbreaking relational work and the development of their workshops. It became apparent within months that relational issues fuel all relapse and struggles in recovery.
