Therapist-trained.
Business-fluent.
Order, clarity, and compassion for the chaos.
Savannah Berry Suttle, MAMFT — founder of Relationship Capital and Schema, and the person families call when the business meeting and the family dinner have become the same argument.
A therapist-turned-consultant trained in marriage and family therapy, Savannah works at the intersection of family systems and real-world complexity — including family enterprises, where relational rupture and business operations collide. Her work centers on bringing order to relational chaos: helping people understand what happened, what it will take to repair, and how to move forward with grace, realism, and integrity.
A personal trainer for family systems.
Some consultants hand you a report. Savannah hands you a practice schedule. Her work is closer to a dedicated personal trainer for family systems — or a football coach: drafting the plays, coaching the individuals, and coaching the team as a team — for families who want to grow in relationship, profit, achievement, and quality of life at the same time.
Much of it happens at a whiteboard: diagramming how people actually behave, what the system needs, what has to change, and what a different choreography of the family's dynamics could look like. Nebulous situations, given structure. Options laid out. Roadmaps drawn. Tasks assigned. Milestones celebrated. Relationships improving while the work gets done — not after.
Relationship Capital is everything she's learned in that practice, turned into education anyone can access: the courses, the shows, the workbooks, the gatherings.
The load-bearing facts.
- Master of Arts in Marriage & Family Therapy/Counseling, Reformed Theological Seminary
- Founder, Relationship Capital · CEO & Principal Strategy Consultant, Schema Consulting & Management (est. 2016)
- Family office principal, and advisor to family office LPs navigating family dynamics in investment contexts
- Next Gen/Rising Gen Committee, Southeast Family Office Forum
- Board service and a serial-entrepreneur streak spanning energy, circular-economy, and creative ventures
- Clinical foundations: years of outpatient marriage & family therapy practice before the consulting work began
So families can hold what they've been given.
The vision is simple to say and generational to do: for people to truly get relationship capital as a concept — so they can build it, maintain it, repair it, and invest in it. For the benefit of now, and the benefit of the generations to come.
Where to find her.
