About Us

Tolman & Tolman: Together, Stronger

At Tolman & Tolman, resilience isn’t just something we teach—it’s who we are.

We are a mother-and-son team whose lives have been shaped by adversity, resilience, and an unwavering belief that together, we are stronger. Our story is not just about surviving challenges—it’s about transforming them into wisdom, strength, and purpose.

At the heart of everything we do is co-creation. We believe true transformation happens in partnership—whether that’s blending ancient traditions with modern neuroscience, integrating neuropsychology with intuitive practices, or creating a safe, empowering alliance between coach and client. Every step of our work reflects this synergy: head and heart, mind and body, science and soul.

We don’t just teach resilience—we embody it. Our approach is holistic, practical, and deeply human. We bring together:

  • Ancient Wisdom & Modern Science:

    • From timeless practices to cutting-edge research, we bridge worlds to create tools that work.

  • Heart, Head & Gut Intelligence:

    • Aligning intuition, logic, and emotional awareness for authentic decision-making.

  • Mind, Body & Soul Integration:

    • Healing and growth that honors the whole person.

Our specialisms include burnout recovery, addiction support, mental wellness, and emotional resilience—areas where life’s toughest challenges often demand the deepest transformation.
