About Us

Julie Field

As a judge, I’ve spent my career searching for a better way. I found it in the unique approach of the Consilium® Process, the innovation of the Consilium Consultant, and the shift in perspective embedded in our solution-oriented process. I retired from my judgeship to help build this extraordinary institute and the national network of leaders that will transform how lawyers, judges, and allied professionals handle divorce cases in every court in the country.

With a dual background in family law and psychology, I developed the Consilium® Process to help clients restructure their families and build paths of personal growth simultaneous with their divorce process. But Consilum is not just a way to help clients -- it helps lawyers and other professionals, too. Once we realized that, we had to share it. So Judge Field and I created the Institute to teach Consilium's integrative process, and to build the Tapestry network community across the nation.

The story behind the Consilium Institute

Over two decades ago, family law attorney Heidi Webb asked herself a question that many involved in the divorce process ask: “isn’t there a better way to do this?”

Her question was prompted by the tragic death of the son of a former client, who had joined the Marines as a young adult; even after what had seemed like a successful divorce case for the family, that young man joined the Marines because he felt like he lacked a family. That tragic death caused Heidi to reassess everything about how attorneys, judges, and allied professionals handle divorce cases. Instead of asking that question rhetorically, Heidi researched different models and created the Consilium®️ Process. The Consilium Process incorporates internal family systems theory and business modeling to create an innovative approach to divorce cases.

Heidi has used the Consilium Process for over 20 years. She has found greater satisfaction from clients, and in her legal practice.

Consilium is a holistic, practical approach to family law which works within the existing legal structure to change how attorneys, therapists, and financial professionals approach clients and cases. It will transform the outcomes for every one of your clients: restructuring their family rather than destroying it.

Consilium-trained practitioners learn techniques and tools which utilize internal family systems and family dynamics to address legal and practical issues, and work with clients to create a concrete future for families after divorce.
