MEET THE FOUNDERS
JESSICA FERN
Over the past 22 years, Jessica’s education, certifications, and credentials have centered on a holistic approach to healing and personal growth, integrating psychotherapy, trauma and attachment work, spiritual development, communication, and conflict resolution. While her work spans multiple disciplines, her core focus is fostering genuine connection and facilitating transformative conversations that support lasting change.
Registered as an unlicensed psychotherapist in the state of Colorado, Jessica has intentionally chosen a non-traditional path to maintain flexibility and integrate a broader range of modalities.
Her approach weaves together evidence-based practices such as Internal Family Systems, Narrative Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, mindfulness, and somatic work with relational, nervous-system-informed, and spiritual frameworks—creating a non-pathologizing space that honors each person’s innate capacity for healing and growth.
DAVID COOLEY
Dave’s path to developing the Restorative Relationship Conversation model began in the field of Restorative Justice, where he worked as a professional Restorative Circle facilitator and trainer. In this role, he supported individuals in resolving interpersonal conflict through dialogue and repair rather than adversarial systems. His work was informed by training in trauma-informed care for victims of crime, cultural and gender sensitivity, Nonviolent Communication, and cultural brokering.
After leaving the Restorative Justice field, Dave was inspired to re-imagine the restorative conflict model as a practical tool for intimate relationships. Drawing on additional training in mindfulness-based practices, narrative therapy, somatic work, and attachment theory, he developed a process that helps people engage conflict in healthier, more connected ways.
Today, Dave offers the Restorative Relationship Conversation process to private clients seeking to transform conflict into deeper understanding, connection, and intimacy.
