Strong Roots Lasting Impact
Olive Tree Family is for parents who refuse to quit. In a world of quick fixes, we honor God's slow, steady work: Deep roots in faith, branches of connection, and fruit that nourishes generations.
Olive Tree Approach
Olive trees take time and care but reward with enduring value—if you don't give up.
I’m here for those facing long-term difficulty—fostering faith-deep roots and family bonds that thrive for generations.
"Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up."
Galatians 6:9
Services
At Olive Tree Family, my services center on three pillars—encouragement, skills, and hope—rooted in the Connected Families Framework. This gospel-focused approach helps your kids feel safe, loved, called, and capable, growing into responsible people God designed them to be.
For parents in long-term difficulty, I’ll equip you with practical tools to communicate grace-filled truths, strengthening bonds even in chaos.
Like an olive tree, your family can build deep roots for generational strength—transitioning from surviving to thriving through every trial.

Meet Angel
I'm Angel Larsen, a certified Connected Families coach, wife, and homeschooling mom to nine—five biological, three adopted, and one co-parented with her biological dad for the past 11 years. Based in central Minnesota, I started Olive Tree Family to share encouragement, skills, and hope with families in difficult situations, helping you survive and thrive even in chaos.
For 18 years, I've homeschooled kids with Reactive Attachment Disorder, Auditory Processing challenges, dyslexia, giftedness, and the ups and downs of sensitive, intense personalities.
We've walked through juvenile court, foster care, and long-term placement, learning firsthand how God turns obstacles into growth. I offer biblical wisdom and simple strategies to help parents, grandparents, and teachers— build strong, loving relationships that endure long-term challenges with lasting rewards.
My goal? Equip you with grace-filled tools to communicate truths that last, transitioning you from simply surviving difficulty to thriving through it.
Client Testimonial
“Angel’s support changed the trajectory of our relationship with our daughter. Nothing was working and our relationship with our teenage daughter at almost completely dissolved. She was self destructive, failing out of school, lying, using drugs, fighting at school, you name it!”
Client Testimonial
“The first thing Angel did was give me some guiding concepts and phrases. It was literally like a miracle. Our daughter just stopped arguing and was quiet. This was our first brick laid. Now, it is almost a year later and my daughter and I are laughing and talking. It isn’t perfect. We still have difficulties and she still has mental health issues. But, we are now growing instead of withering from problems. The fighting has decreased dramatically, she has some passing grades (even one B-), and she is now accepting rules and authority almost all of the time.”
Client Testimonial
“Angel practices what to say and how to react. The framework is so easy to follow and gets at the heart of problems. And, Angel guides you through the framework with faith, love and compassion.”
