Janelle Glick grew up in Waterloo, Ontario where her love of people was developed in sharing life with many foster children staying with her family. She completed two years of teacher’s training at Faith Builders Program (1999–2001), during which time she met her quirky and steady husband, Wendell Glick. During the following years of parenting four children and serving on the local ministry team, she had opportunities to study in university (M-Div; MA in Spiritual Care and Psychotherapy). These years of study led to what is now five years of online coaching, training, and teaching work with anabaptist women. Currently living in Meadville, Pennsylvania, Janelle enjoys walking in the woods, reading, meeting with friends, and watching her children grow and become. Most recently, she has returned from a year supporting Invest mission workers in Thailand, adding once again to the places she calls home.

Karen Peachey is a nurse, educator, and therapist working at her private practice called “Journey to Hope Counseling.” She lives in Belleville, Pennsylvania and is passionate about “holistic” (body, soul, spirit) care as noted in I Thessalonians 5:23, “may your whole spirit, soul and body be preserved blameless.” Karen strives to live and empower individuals to live out their God-given identity. Her focus in helping people is trauma, depression, anxiety, grief, and relational issues. She counts it a privilege to assist clients in reaching their goals and helping them overcome obstacles to living fully. In Karen’s spare time, she enjoys being in nature, hiking, spending time at the beach and sipping a good cup of coffee with family and friends.
