Meet your coach
Heart & Grace was born out of my own 24-year marriage, one built through raising three boys, weathering the everyday moments, and 15 years of intentionally investing in my relationship using the 6 Pillars of Intimacy® framework.
I know marriage isn't always easy. My goal is to walk alongside you with that same intentionality, helping you find the tools, understanding, and hope to build a marriage you truly love.
Kind words
What started as simply grabbing dinner together has turned into so much more than we ever expected. Our relationship with Lynwood and Jamie has become such a meaningful part of our lives and marriage.
They have been an incredible resource and such a wonderful couple for my husband and I to look up to. Showing us what a healthy, Christ-centered marriage can look like. They are always willing to listen, offer advice, and share their own experiences. What we appreciate most is that we can be completely honest and open with them without ever feeling judged. We are always met with grace, encouragement, and genuine care. They have both been people we genuinely look up to, not because they pretend to have a perfect marriage, but because they are intentional about loving, serving, and growing together.
They have shown us that mentorship doesn’t have to feel formal or intimidating—it can come through conversations over dinner, sharing life together, and simply having people in your corner who genuinely want to see your marriage thrive.
We are so grateful for the time, wisdom, friendship, and love they have poured into our marriage. A mentorship we truly cherish and feel incredibly blessed to have in our lives. We would wholeheartedly recommend them to any couple who wants to strengthen their marriage and grow together!
Before I got married, I had the opportunity to spend a lot of time with Jamie, and I truly believe the mentorship and conversations we had helped prepare me for marriage in ways I didn’t even realize I needed.
For several weeks, we saw each other almost every day, which gave us the opportunity to have so many honest, personal conversations. Jamie helped me understand more about what marriage really means—not just committing to someone, but choosing to communicate, grow, be patient, and work through things together. She was never afraid to have the real conversations with me, and I always felt comfortable asking questions without feeling embarrassed or judged.
One area I especially appreciated was being able to talk openly about intimacy and sex within marriage. Jamie was honest and practical when answering my questions and helped me understand that every woman and every marriage is different. She never made me feel like I needed to have everything figured out beforehand. Instead, she encouraged me to go into marriage with an open mind, some understanding of my own needs, and the willingness to communicate openly with my husband.
She also taught me a lot about communication. She helped me understand that my husband and I aren’t always going to agree—and that’s completely okay. What matters is being able to talk through those differences, listen to each other, and continue choosing one another even when things aren’t easy.
Looking back, I am so thankful that I had that kind of mentorship before getting married. My husband and I have always been able to talk openly with each other about everything—whether we’re embarrassed, excited, frustrated, nervous, or happy. Nothing feels like something we can’t talk about. That has carried over into our intimate life as well. We are comfortable communicating about our needs, questions, and feelings, and I genuinely believe the conversations and guidance I received before marriage helped give me the foundation to have that kind of openness in my own marriage.
What made Jamie’s mentorship so special was how personal it was. She didn’t just give me advice; she genuinely invested in me, listened to me, answered the questions I was sometimes too embarrassed to ask, and made me feel completely comfortable being honest. I felt like I could talk to her about anything, and that made such a difference.
I am incredibly grateful for the time, honesty, and care Jamie poured into me before I entered this new chapter of my life. Her mentorship gave me knowledge, confidence, and a better understanding of what it means to build a healthy, communicative, and intimate marriage.
