About Us
We’re a physician an educator, certified coaches, authors, parents and avid adventurers.
Our mission is to help working parents have more fun, playfulness, and intimacy in their marriages because you deserve it and your kids depend on it.
Taking messy and uncomfortable action is a must if you want to grow and journey through life successfully. What you’re doing now isn’t going to get you where you want to be, and we believe you’re capable of more. We’ll be here to give you the encouragement, guidance, and support you need along the way.
Reconnecting your marriage can be challenging. But it can also be playful, sensual, adventurous, and emotional (in a good way). Showing up as the person you want to be in your relationship and giving your best to your spouse is pure magic. Imagine what you can do and be together!

Whether you want to leave this world a better place by raising kind children, immersing yourself in a new culture, serving your community, or whatever your dream may be, it can all be possible when your relationship brings you peace, support, and energy. Achieve your goals and thrive!
You'll Be Giving Back
We've found our meaning and we'll include you, too.
We’re volunteering our time, planting trees, donating to our favorite charities, and teaching our children a respect for nature, other cultures, and how we are all interconnected and can lift each other up. When you choose our signature program, we will donate time or money to one of our favorite causes of your choice.

You Will Be Encouraged to Try New Things
Taking on new challenges together is a bonding experience.
If you want to change your marriage you’re going to have to change what you think and do as well. We’ll help you identify your thoughts that aren’t serving you and keep you accountable for taking positive actions. We’ll even help you plan and go on your dream vacation.
WanderFonder started in 2015 when we found ourselves struggling with our new reality. Our kids had very different emotional needs, there was working mom guilt, stay-at-home dad isolation, chronic stressors, unhealthy eating patterns, and the changing dynamics within our marriage. From the outside everything looked fine, but on the inside something was clearly missing, and we knew we weren’t alone in feeling this way.
What emerged from this challenging time was our mission to encourage parents to thrive within their marriages, set an example of treating each other with love, live with a focus on health and wellness, and take advantage of the wonders of travel.
We wanted to help couples journey through life more deliberately and as better versions of themselves – healthier, less stressed, and with stronger relationships.
To Wander, Fonder
Over time, our vision emerged as an aspiration to provide coaching and resources for couples who want to reconnect within their marriage. Our goal is to help these parents infuse their days with joy, feel confident exploring life and the world together, and share these valuable skills with their families to create a path for the next generation.
We’re in the midst of that journey. We understand what it’s like to have competing priorities, hectic schedules, and sometimes feel like we could use a parenting do-over.
We’re not perfect and we’re always learning.
By strengthening our marriage, we’ve changed our life for the better, our family life is stronger, and we’ve had the courage to do things we never thought possible. We’re a family that continues to grow together. We choose to put the good stuff in – good food, good thoughts, good listening, and good hugs – and we get the great stuff in return.
