Masen and Barbara have been married for over 27 years and leading workshops together since 1997. Their workshops are designed to inspire and motivate you to heal deep wounds, complete with your past, make new decisions in the present, and to live your life authentically with enthusiasm, passion and integrity.

The seminars provide effective tools for you to begin to ask the right questions and get a clear sense of what you need to do in order to feel empowered and able to create your life the way that you want it to be.
