Peloton Counseling's focus is on staying connected. The heart and intention behind the name Peloton is relationship and community. Peloton defined: a group of bicycle riders that ride together to save energy, similar to how geese form during flight (French originated word, meaning platoon). Just as the saying goes, it takes a village to raise a child, it often takes a village to raise each of us. Relationships provide us with a mirror in which to see ourselves. We are hurt by relationship and we are healed by relationship.
