Wonderfully Life Changing
My husband and I were lucky enough to attend Intimate Couple's Retreat with Dr. April Brown and Peter Covert at Peace Retreat in Costa Rica. Dr. Brown is so knowledgeable, compassionate, understanding and easy to talk to. She is empathetic and so relatable, she makes you feel comfortable right away. She gets to the root of any issue and gives you new and helpful tools to use, while creating a path towards positive change. Mr. Covert is one of the most kindhearted therapists I've ever met. He has a way of making you feel like you've known him for years, and the way he connected with both my husband and I was so beautiful. He is a master story teller, and full of wisdom and great advice. He is gentle, yet direct and is really great at helping you see yourself from a new perspective. Both Dr. April Brown and Mr. Peter Covert helped my husband and I understand each other better, and helped us work through 12 years of unresolved issues. They lead us to fall back in love with each other, and I can confidently say that they helped save our marriage. I am truly grateful for all they have done for me and my family.
