When Scott and AnnMarie first crossed paths, neither could have predicted how their shared vision would blossom into Our Hearts Enter; a space where individuals, couples, businesses, and even athletes find the tools to live with clarity, purpose, and unshakable strength.

Scott’s journey began in academia, teaching Sustainability and Happiness at Arizona State University. His classes extended far beyond the lecture hall, where he encouraged students not only to expand their minds but also to lead with their hearts. Through initiatives like the Happy Lab, Scott helped young leaders collaborate with local communities, building gardens and food exchanges, and cultivating a deeper sense of responsibility for the world around them.

AnnMarie’s path unfolded through decades of service in nonprofit and community-based settings. From counseling youth and families to creating healing spaces for elders, she poured herself into supporting those who often had nowhere else to turn. Whether leading groups, organizing outings, or simply showing up in moments of need, her work was grounded in compassion, resilience, and the belief that every person deserves a safe space to grow.

Together, Scott and AnnMarie quickly recognized the power of their combined gifts. What began as parallel work soon evolved into a shared calling. They pursued advanced certifications, deepened their training, and began to hold space together for individuals and groups. Workshops, ceremonies, and immersive gatherings emerged. Each designed to help people move beyond limitation and reconnect with their innate power.

Today, Our Hearts Enter stands as the natural culmination of their journey. Their offerings range from one-on-one coaching to group workshops, corporate wellness programs, and transformative ceremonies. Every experience is designed to integrate shamanic coaching, purpose alignment, and intuitive development; guiding clients into clarity, embodiment, and soul-aligned strategies for peak performance.

“Whether someone comes to us as an individual, a couple, a business leader, or an athlete, the common thread is this: they’re ready to move beyond surface-level success and step into a deeper kind of power,” AnnMarie explains. “That’s where real transformation happens.”

For Scott and AnnMarie, success is not defined by titles, numbers, or achievements alone. It is measured in rootedness- in the ability to navigate life’s challenges with resilience, purpose, and an unwavering sense of self. Their work is not just about transformation: it’s about creating sustainable change that ripples through families, organizations, and communities.

“Our hearts are not separate from our work,” Scott adds. “They’re at the center of everything we do. That’s why we chose the name Our Hearts Enter. Because the journey starts and ends in the heart.”

With over two decades of combined transformational experience, Scott and AnnMarie are extending an invitation to those who feel the call. “You have built success,” AnnMarie says, “now it is time to root into power that is unshakable.”
