Target Audience: Our doors are open for Self-Development Enthusiasts, Trauma Survivors, and members of the Wellness Community who are on a quest for healing and personal expansion. We welcome healing professionals who desire to dig deeper into the mind-body connection alongside us.

Focus: Delving into the groundbreaking work of Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, as highlighted in his seminal book, The Body Keeps the Score, the study group will examine how traumatic experiences shape our existence. We will look closely at scientific insights revealing trauma’s ability to reform the body and brain, influencing individuals’ ability to experience joy, engage socially, exercise self-regulation, and build trust.

In the safe space of our group, practice the very techniques that activate the brain’s innate neuroplasticity—paving the way to recovery. Our sessions will cover a spectrum of innovative treatments, including neurofeedback, meditation, physical activities, and expressive therapies that hold the key to unlocking profound healing.

You need not read the book in it’s entirety to benefit from this group, though it can be a useful tool to supplement the conversation.

Facilitator: Andrea Adams is a Clinical Intern at Parasol Wellness Collaborative and has a Bachelor’s in English Literature, a master’s Certificate in Holistic Health from St. Catherine’s University, and is currently completing a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counselng at Adler University. She brings a passion for holistic health to her work, as well as a love of reading.

Endorsements: Deemed an essential read by experts and heralded as a New York Times best seller, this study group will leverage guidance from “The Body Keeps the Score” to empower participants in their healing journeys.

“Essential reading for anyone interested in understanding and treating traumatic stress and the scope of its impact on society.” – Alexander McFarlane, Director of the Centre for Traumatic Stress Studies

*There are many benefits for those who make the commitment to marriage and manage to maintain a successful relationship. Happily married couples tend to have better physical and emotional health, greater financial stability and increased wealth, more sexual satisfaction, and children that do better academically, relationally and emotionally than those of single or unhappily married couples (Waite & Gallagher, 2000; Antonovics & Town, 2004; Carlson, 2006). However, getting married is still very risky since the divorce rate continues to be high. The rate of divorce increases with the number of previous marriages.

Quality premarital preparation, like PREPARE/ENRICH, can reduce the risk of divorce and increase relationship skills and satisfaction. In a survey of 3,334 couples, premarital education programs were found to reduce divorce by 31% (Stanley, Amato, Johnson, & Markman, 2006). Participants with premarital education had higher marital satisfaction, higher commitment, and lower marital conflict.

Our unique group classes offer a dual advantage: the power of community learning and individualized, evidence-based assessments to tailor your experience from day one. Cultivate a relationship that thrives with every session.

Individualized Approach with Lasting Benefits

Before you even step foot in our classroom, we lay the groundwork for your growth. An in-depth assessment illuminates your relationship’s strengths and areas for development, guiding our counselors in customizing your learning path.

Master Essential Relationship Skills

Communication is the heart of every strong partnership. Explore modules rich with enlightened strategies for communication, problem-solving, and nurturing connections. We’re dedicated to providing tools for ongoing improvement, including a workbook and practical guides for weekly relationship check-ins, designing the perfect date night, etc.

Experience Transformation Together

Beyond the class, we invite you and your partner to a private couples integration session to consolidate your learning and set the tone for your future together. This session ensures your progress is more than just theory — it’s a living part of your relationship.

Enrichment Beyond the Classroom

We believe in the power of holistic well-being, which is why we offer the option to add on a couples yoga class in our serene studio. Celebrate your course completion by grounding your growth in shared mindfulness and relaxation.

A Foundation for a Lifetime of Growth

Whether you’re newly engaged or simply seeking enrichment in your long term relationship, this class is a commitment to each other’s happiness and a well-spring of shared joy.

Join us in this transformational experience. Your best relationship starts here.

Our group is led by Associate Marriage and Family Therapist, Kendra Schuh and Clinical Trainee Andrea Adams. Prior to the first session, you’ll take an in depth marriage assessment that will guide your learning throughout the rest of the course. You’ll benefit from the expertise of trained couples counselors guiding conversation and growth over three 2 hour sessions (April 6, April 13, April 20- 2-4pm). The intimate group setting creates community and maximizes opportunity for learning. Please note that the assessment portion of this class requires an additional 35$ payment to Prepare/Enrich directly on their portal.
