Our founders
Dr. Chackochen Mathai and his wife Moly Chackochen, were united in Holy Matrimony on 16th May, 1994. Through their own marriage, the marriages of the people around them and influences on them, they realised their heart and the importance within a community to build strong and healthy marriages.
Being married for over 26 years and still being so much in love with each other despite their stark differences in personality, family backgrounds and so on, they were blessed to have had people who poured out into their lives at the right time and since then, they have understood the importance of having counsel and directions.
And since then they, have been engaged in mentoring, coaching, counselling and training singles, couples and organizations in the area of pre-marital, post-marital and sexual education in India and abroad.
Dr. Chackochen Mathai received his Ph.D. from the leading Hindustan University in the area of franchise management. He has been a sought-after speaker and trainer in the areas of sales, marketing, public relations, leadership training, franchising, and digital marketing.
Both Chackochen and Moly are certified counsellors. As a power couple who believe in using all the skills that the Lord has given them, they love being trained in a wide range of areas that pertain to family and building up the Kingdom of God. Together they have received training in leadership from the Haggai Institute of Leadership (Hawaii) and the John Maxwell leadership Programs.
