Natalie’s personal story of recovery and restoration fuels her passion for women who struggle but don’t know where to turn. She has lived the process and seen the need firsthand. Natalie left her career in the Silicon Valley tech world first to raise her four children and now to focus on her seminary degree and serving women through ministry. In addition to mentoring and leading Beloved meetings, Natalie coordinates women’s retreats and loves to share her story and passion for women to live fully in the freedom offered in God’s restoration. Natalie speaks at churches, bible studies, ministries, camps, and retreats.

Terry had the privilege of working alongside her husband Rob, on their Christmas tree farm where they invited the public to cut their own tree and make family memories.  In addition, they hosted school children to visit on field trips where city kids got to experience a little bit of country life.  After an early retirement they continue to live on their property in Boulder Creek, CA where they raised their two sons. Fortunate to have 2 wonderful daughters-in-love and three beautiful granddaughters, life is full of adventure (and more girls to balance out their boy-heavy childrearing years!). Terry loves to hike, travel, bake and spend time with friends. With Rob, she serves in the local community and for 19 years served with an International Ministry.  She has experienced God's grace in her life and wants others to experience what it's like to be loved, cherished and forgiven by Jesus.
