What Spring says about Shelley
​
Shelley keeps me accountable with warmth and a gentle guiding presence. I'm always astounded in her ability to be a mom, business partner and run a successful private practice. Shelley keeps me on track as my brain jumps from topic to topic and is always ready to hear my new-fangled ideas. She's become my business partner, one of my closest confidants and best friends!
What Shelley says about Spring
​
The first thing I think of when I think of Spring is how she ALWAYS has your back. She has always been there for me in a moments notice and I watch her do the same for her fellow colleagues, RP's and friends. She has a strong sense of community and is very dedicated to helping our fellow colleagues through their journey to successful therapy practices. I am so grateful to call Spring my friend as well as business partner.
Why Shelley and Spring do the CRPO Exam Prep Course
​
In 2018 Shelley and Spring were preparing for the CRPO exam. They were astounded by the lack of help and resources for the exam. There was so much confusion about what was what, where to find materials, what materials to use and how the heck to put it all together. Frequently becoming frustrated by a very ambiguous process Spring one day said "Why isn't there a course, there should be a course. We should create a course." And, so began the first CRPO Exam Preparation course!
