Why the Apple Tree

Where it All Began

The apple tree has always been part of our story. Long before we became therapists, before we created this space for women to come home to themselves, we were two sisters walking through a golden hayfield behind our childhood home, toward a grove of apple trees planted by our grandfather.

A Place of Presence

Those trees were more than a backdrop. Our parents walked there when they first fell in love. We returned to them as a family, again and again, sitting beneath their branches, eating apples, breathing in that quiet kind of mindfulness only nature can offer. It was a place of rootedness, reflection, and connection.

The Fire & The Memory

Years later, the trees were lost in a fire. We grieved them deeply. But they still live in us—as memory, as metaphor, as legacy. Their loss reminds us of the seasons of life, the inevitability of change, and the quiet power of what remains when the physical is gone: connection, knowledge, wisdom. These are the roots that stay.

What it Means to Us Now

For us, the apple tree symbolizes what healing really is. A return to your own inner knowing. A circle of nourishment and growth. A place to gather what has been lost, and plant something new.

This isn’t just a name. It’s where we come from, and what we hope to offer you.
