We’re a couple of counselors and educators from Southwest Louisiana. We both hold Master’s degrees in Counseling and Psychology from McNeese State University. Ryan studied Psychology as an undergrad at McNeese, and Ännä studied Communications and Religious Education at Louisiana Christian University. We both hold National Counselor and School Counselor board certifications. Ryan is also a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. We’ve been married since 2001 and have a neurodivergent family full of preteens, teens, and animal friends.

We’ve worked in our local public schools as teachers and counselors since 2005, and together have over 40 years of experience working with a wide range of child behaviors and providing support to children with neurodivergence and sensory needs. This work, along with our personal experiences, has given us a passion for helping all children access faith stories in a meaningful and memorable way.

Our mission is to provide thoughtfully designed craft, sensory play, and family connection experiences that plant seeds of grace and spiritual growth, making holy days and Bible stories accessible, memorable, and fun for the whole family.
