TESTIMONIALS

"Dave and I had been dating for 5 years before we were engaged and went to Dr. & Dr. Fernandez for premarital counseling. We had always had communication as a pillar for our relationship and felt like we worked through things as a team well.  Even if you don't have any “issues” or a specific set of “conflict” to work through, we found it was incredibly valuable to have people with such wisdom and insight as Dr and Dr Fernandez. They walked us through the ins and out of relationship and marriage in ways we could have never done on our own. They led us through many important thought provoking topics that helped us prepare our relationship for marriage, and continue to help us to this day. Dr. and Dr. Fernandez have an incredible gift to be able to lead and teach with intellect, genuine compassion, as well as laughter and humor.  We had a great experience with Dr. and Dr. Fernandez and would highly recommend them to any couple at any stage of their relationship.”  -Dave (Financial Accountant) and Dr. Heather Thomas (Physical Therapist) - La Verne, California

"We are FOREVER grateful for the tools, tips, advice and encouragement received from Dr. & Dr. Fernandez. I was a single mom with a 2 year old daughter when I met Joe and committed several sessions or premarital coaching 3 months before our wedding and had a few more sessions after marriage. With the stresses that life brings, or in our case being a "blended" family and planning a wedding all at the same time there were many rocky moments in our relationship when I wasn't even sure that we would make it to our wedding day. We are blessed to have been able to have the support and coaching of Joe and Caroline. They helped us to stay grounded, connected, and honest with each other. They taught us a new and extremely helpful way of communicating so that we actually understood each other and responded in ways that turned what may have been a breakdown or argument into a breakthrough! Every session we had we learned something great about each other, we went over what was good in our relationship along with where we were struggling, they created a safe place for us to grow, my husband was even saved by Jesus in our 3rd session. Each time leaving us both freshly rejuvenated and excited about what was yet to come. We have grown so much closer in our relationship and parenting together. We now have a second child and I am very proud of the parents that we are and our ability to be great examples of what it means to love and respect each other.  With love and gratitude." -Joe (Mike Ferry Business Coach) and Marina Belmonte (Life Coach, Yoga Instructor and Real Estate Agent) - Central Coast

"Joe and Caroline Fernandez were amazing pre-marital coaches. They were super personable and welcomed us into their beautiful home each meeting. Joe was such a godly example while Caroline shined like a Proverbs 31 woman. They both took the time to get to know Allan and I and prepared us for the wonderful journey called marriage. Thank you both for your time, we just celebrated our one year and got to talk and reflect what a special relationship we have thanks to your words of encouragement & love." -Shauna  Blocker, Make Up Artist & Allan Blocker, Manager at Taylormade Golf, Carlsbad, CA

Pastor Joe and Dr. Caroline blessed us immensely! Not only did Pastor Joe perform a beautiful ceremony on our wedding day, we decided to do the 6-week SYMBIS counseling, which stands for “Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts”.  During this awesome journey, we literally discovered our differences and similarities before saying “I do” and as we are now married for 8 months as we write this, those differences exposed themselves within the first 6 months of our marriage. Knowing that these were our differences, we were able to step back and just realize we knew what we were stepping into, and were able to cope with more patience and learn to communicate with love and care to not hurt each other during our precious first year as we are still currently in the process of becoming one!! Working with Pastor Joe and Dr. Caroline is a valuable investment to your marriage, and we love knowing we can always pick up the phone if prayer or support is needed.

“I had the blessing of having my life vision and spirituality transformed in a deeper way with Dr. Caroline's Life Coaching. She has taught me to connect all things to the 'Circle of Wellness' and have personal, financial, physical and spiritual aspects of life balanced. One of my personal goals is to buy a home for my family by the end of next year, and Dr. Caroline has taught me the baby steps needed to dream big and achieve this goal. We are well on our way and by the grace of God will have our first home by the end of 2021. Dr. Caroline has also instilled a deeper faith in me and taught me daily spiritual practices that will lift my soul in any situation that life brings... I am very grateful God has connected me to her life coaching! -Jeanette Gonzalez Seneviratne, M.A. Archdiocese of Los Angeles, Associate Director

 "We learned so much....it blew us away. This amazing couple is so  good at counseling and we have seen the transformation others go through as a result of their practice.  They are highly educated yet compassionate and understanding.  Like surgeons who can cut through the most difficult surgeries with the least amount of pain, they are able to help individual, the youth and couples heal the healing process." - Joel Gomez, IT Supervisor, Department of Public Social Services

 "Dr. Jose and Dr. Caroline helped us so much at a time when our son was a teenager. Their dedication, counseling, love and professionalism were key and made possible the success we experienced as struggling parents.

"I have known Pastor Joe  Fernandez for over 13 years. He is a very godly man whose passion is to make disciples, plant churches and train leaders. He is actively involved in pursuing the Great Commission of making disciples who could make disciples. In his desire to make disciples, he coached and mentored me in various aspects of my ministry. In our fellowship and consultation, Pastor Joe would give me his sound biblical inputs to make godly plans and decisions. Pastor Joe is a great motivator. He encouraged me by sharing his experiences and inputs on any given situation. His contribution both to my life and ministry is indeed valuable. Praise God for this Godly man." -Pastor Art U. Henares, Senior Pastor, Harvest Community Bible Church

"Hace un par de años José me llevó por un proceso de mentoreo muy beneficioso en mi vida. A base de tres preguntas y sencillas conversaciones semanales me dirigió en áreas que mi trabajo necesitaba enfoque y disciplina. Agradezco a José por emplear su tiempo en mí. No tuvimos que viajar a algún lugar o sacar tiempo de nuestras actividades para las entrevistas de la mentoria. A través de llamadas telefónicas se hizo todo el trabajo y además oramos. Gracias, José, eres un buen mentor."  -Pastor Fernando Soto, Spanish Pastor of 1st Anaheim Christian Church
