THJ® Consulting

Dr. Schneider steeped herself in our culture. A very, very different way of approaching consultation.

She has created a felt experience that transforms our patients.

Robert Hilliker, Co-Founder, The Prairie Recovery Center

What we did to create THE HUMAN JOURNEY® ...
... we can do for your organization.


Recent projects include:

Experience Design for Addiction Recovery Centers

For a suite of vertically integrated residential and outpatient addiction recovery facilities based in the Houston area. They’d seen what we’d done with THE HUMAN JOURNEY® and wanted us to bring active engagement, psychospiritual learning, and total experience design to their work with people recovering from addiction. The result: The Pilgrimage, a major program of weekly group and individual invitations into experiences that gives patients lifelong practices to maintain their recovery.

Workplace Grief & Loss Program

For network of Head Start agencies, developed and taught an experiential series on supporting co-workers through grief and loss, including coaching on developing employee-led projects to cultivate increasingly compassionate workplaces.

Professional Services Evaluation

Engaged by a conscientious director of a medium-sized hospice who doubted whether every patient and family got her hospice’s best care, we conducted depth interviews with staff members and surviving family members who had regrets about their loved one’s last days.

From our analysis and reporting, we developed and conducted trainings to address organizational communication needs and and a staff and volunteer strategic retreat to surface and reflect on family member perspectives and to plan for a patient- and family-focused, and increasingly culturally competent, future of care.
