About Jane and Quint Reinheimer
Kids and family, stress management, personal development -- all areas of
concern that I hope you will let me share with you.
Welcome to my web page. I will be sharing
excerpts from previous issues of The Reinheimer Letter. Click on the link
"Newsletter excerpts and archives" if you would like to read any of
these excerpts. If you
have any questions that you would like to ask, please feel free to email me.
Also, if you have anything you'd like to share with my readers, I'd really
welcome hearing from you! I like to put this type of information
on the first page. Hope that you will take the time to read through
the descriptions of the booklets that are offered. These booklets are
basically material that was written for various workshops and clinics and
are in response to requests from workshop participants who ask for material
to share with friends.
I have a Master of Arts degree in psychology from Concordia University
in River Forest, Illinois; received Roosevelt University's graduate level
paralegal certificate. I'm what you academic counselors call a "returning
woman" -- that is, I waited until after the kids grew up before going back
to college to finish a degree -- actually two majors, one in business
administration and one in psychology. One could say there was some degree
of indecision there, but in the final analysis, and after completing a
masters degree in psychology, I'm glad everything worked out the way it
did. My husband, Quint, is a great booster and without his help, it's a
safe bet that I would have become frustrated and tired of the rigors
demanded of graduate studies.
There were many, many long nights when he would walk over to campus
from the train station after commuting from his own job as an analytical
research chemist to look things up in journals for research articles and
make copies so that I could write the papers to turn in. And then, when
classes were over for me, I would join him in the library; we'd stop for
dinner on the way home, usually after 10:00 p.m., only to get up the next
morning and start over -- both of us working full time while I was taking
a full-time student load.
My promise to him was that after we got a counseling practice
launched, he would be able to retire early and handle the business mechanics
of the practice. With a lot of faith and prayer, that goal has come to bear
fruit. Quint was able to retire a year and a half ago. It took nearly seven years
for the practice to make it economically possible for him to "quit his day
job." We have always made a good team. Our goals are the same for ourselves
and for each other. In fact, my advice to married couples who come for
counseling is to develop a spirit of teamwork. Support each other. And show
each other every day how valuable you think your partner is and how
important your partner is to your life. What I love most about our life
together is that we have a lot of fun, no matter what we do -- as long as
we are doing it together.
We have nine grandchildren -- only one granddaughter -- Heather.
Heather will be five years old in September. Our oldest grandson just
finished his freshman year of college. The other grandsons are spread out
between kindergarten and high school. And we're proud of each one of them!
