“Nurturing the Soul of Your Family is the owner’s manual I wish I’d received as a child. Renée skillfully and compassionately reminds readers that we each possess an innate sense of wellbeing that is always present, and that it is possible to feel safe and secure with ourselves, even when life delivers to our table the most challenging of circumstances. She points the way, step-by-step through powerful, yet simple exercises so that we can rediscover our innate ability to trust ourselves and discover that for every life situation, we have, inbuilt, the perfect response that will enable us to make our way skillfully and harmoniously through each and every interaction we face in life. May you feel as blessed as I do to have her book in our lives as a beautiful, timely guidebook to lead us back home to ourselves.

This is a beautiful and brilliant book. Renee dives deep, under the surface, to the depths of truth and wholeness that can only be discovered through family life. This book offers the perfect combination of practical tools and real wisdom. It offers parents a trail map that leads straight to inner knowing, love and hope — hope that family life can be the rich intimate well of deep and true connection that it is meant to be. I recommend this book to everyone interested in slowing down, making connection the priority and tapping into the magnificence of healthy family life.
