Our story
Hi, we’re Leif and Shelly.
When we were struggling in our relationship, we found ourselves searching for something deeper than traditional talk therapy. That search led us to Three Principles coaching...an approach that completely transformed the way we saw ourselves, each other, and life itself.
The changes we experienced were so powerful and life-giving that we felt called to help others experience the same kind of freedom, clarity, and connection. That journey inspired us to become coaches ourselves.
Today, we’re passionate about helping individuals and couples create healthier relationships, find peace of mind, and reconnect with the wisdom and resilience already within them.
Our coaching paths
We offer tailored coaching to support you through life's unique challenges. Our insights into the Three Principles empower you to navigate your journey with greater clarity and inner peace.
Healing from trauma
I’m Shelly, and I’m passionate about offering a new perspective on healing and living after experiencing childhood trauma.
This approach is different from traditional methods because we don’t need to relive or repeatedly analyze painful experiences. Instead, Three Principles coaching helps you reconnect with your own inner wisdom, clarity, and innate resilience.
I believe that even after difficult experiences, people are not broken. Beneath the noise of fear, stress, and old patterns, there is still peace, strength, and the ability to create a meaningful and fulfilling life.
Navigating life transitions
Leif was a saddle maker with a deep love for the outdoors. As life began opening new doors and opportunities, he found himself struggling with feelings of being lost and uncertain about his direction. Through the Three Principles, he discovered that true happiness doesn’t come from achievements or external circumstances, but from living fully in the present moment.
Whether you’re navigating career changes, relationship challenges, or simply searching for deeper fulfillment, we help people discover that lasting peace and happiness come from within — not from constantly chasing something outside of themselves.
Strengthening relationships
For couples who feel disconnected, we offer a fresh understanding of how the mind shapes our experiences and relationships. Through our own journey, we discovered how two people can unknowingly live in separate realities — and how recognizing this can create deeper connection, clarity, and understanding. We now help others see this for themselves and reconnect in a more meaningful way.
Embracing inner wisdom
Inner wisdom, through the understanding of the Three Principles, is the natural intelligence and clarity that already exists within all of us.
So often, we spend our lives trying to think our way to peace, searching outside ourselves for answers, validation, or certainty. But when our minds begin to settle — even for a moment — we naturally reconnect with a deeper sense of knowing, calm, and direction.
I’ve come to see that wisdom isn’t something I have to create. It’s something that’s always been there underneath the noise of my anxious, fearful, or insecure thinking. The more I began to understand this, the more I found myself responding to life with greater compassion, clarity, love, and trust.
Inner wisdom can show up as a feeling, a quiet realization, a new perspective, or simply a sense of peace about what to do next. It doesn’t come from overanalyzing life — it comes from reconnecting with who we already are underneath all the mental noise.
