Our Story

The story behind MindSpring™, WellSpring and TruthSpring is one of those incredible journeys that defies explanation, but one thing is for sure: we did not do this alone.

We are byproducts of the love and kindness given to us by countless individuals over the years. We are the beneficiaries of the wisdom and advice of extraordinary teachers who transformed our lives. We are recipients of tremendous opportunities given to us by our many clients who believed in us and our work.

This is a story not just of where these three companies started, but also of all the people who helped build them along the way.

MindSpring™

We started MindSpring™ Consulting, Inc. in 1995 with a compact Mac computer and a deep desire to teach. We began designing a powerful leadership development curriculum founded upon emotional intelligence, before that topic became a trend. Ten years later, with the help of an incredible team of people, we purchased and renovated our first property on Tunnel Road and MindSpring™ soon had its own home.

In the meantime, our “Leadership through Emotional Intelligence” program became the foundation of the Middle and Senior Leader programs for the USDA Forest Service. We had clients all over the country from federal agencies to Fortune 500 companies, healthcare and educational systems, large manufacturing firms and small independent companies. Consistently, we focused on creating exceptional learning and teaching platforms, quality content and most importantly, our own development as teachers.

WellSpring

Our emotional intelligence work continued to reveal the inherent relationship between our physical health and our ability to function at our best at home and at work. With this in mind, we expanded our campus and the team came back together to build WellSpring Wellness Center right next door to MindSpring.

Today there are more than a dozen gifted practitioners who found their way to WellSpring. These exceptional individuals provide exceptional services in acupuncture, naturopathy, Yoga, T’ai Chi, massage, Reiki, homeopathy, speech therapy, meditation, men’s health, Individual, and couples counseling.

Even with so much going on, something else was percolating in our own evolution. Something was still missing.

TruthSpring

We had the great fortune of having significant teachers over the course of our lives and we enjoyed the privilege and challenge of 12 years of learning and studying with one particular teacher, where the foundation of TruthSpring was born. He had shown us the path to consciousness which picks up where everything else leaves off. We learned that consciousness is the journey not only of the individual but that of the human species. It is the truth of who you really are working its way through your unconsciousness. This is the missing piece of the puzzle we had always been looking for.

TruthSpring is the culmination of our life’s work and our relationship together. It houses everything we have ever sought and everything we could ever hope to share. “Becoming You” is our best attempt to fulfill the purpose of our lives, the mission of our work and in so doing, repay what was given to us by so many, including many of you.

This only begins to scratch the surface of our story. If you would like to learn more about the individuals that played such significant roles in our lives and the growth of these three companies, read the full story below.
