Ben & Jamesa

 

About Us

We are Ben and Jamesa. We work with nonprofit and mission-driven organizations navigating complex human systems.

Our work is rooted in a shared belief that meaningful change begins not with systems alone, but with the quality of awareness, connection, and behavior within the people inside them.

Our Backgrounds

 

​Jamesa is a licensed professional counselor, nationally certified therapist, and owner of Blue Lotus Counseling. For over 20 years, she has supported emotional healing and growth, and now brings this therapeutic expertise into organizational spaces. Her work helps leaders and teams build emotional intelligence, strengthen connection, and create environments where people can show up more fully and sustainably.​

 

in 2008 Ben founded an award-winning forensic counseling organization focused on transforming harmful behavior through evidence-based programs. He has spoken across North America and Europe on the importance of Compassion, Curiosity, and Courage in building healthy systems and relationships. His day to day work is in supporting individuals and organizations in choosing connection over control. 

Our Work Together

Together, we help organizations shift how they communicate, make decisions, and support one another—moving away from control-based approaches toward more connected and human-centered ways of working.

We also host a podcast and raise two children together.
