In Loving Memory of Bree Langenhoven (1978–2025)

Bree was not only one of the founding partners of Encapsulate Consulting, but also the heart behind much of what we do today. With more than 20 years of experience as a registered Independent Psychometrist, she dedicated her career to helping our clients.

Her vision, wisdom, and deep care for people shaped Encapsulate Consulting from the very beginning. Bree had an extraordinary gift meeting the unique needs of each client, and she built a team of dedicated Assessment Specialists who continue her work with the same commitment she instilled in us.

Bree will always be remembered as more than a colleague or leader; she was a mentor, a friend, and a guiding force. Her legacy lives on in the company she helped create, the clients she served with excellence, and the many lives she touched with her kindness and professionalism.

We are proud to carry forward the work that was so close to her heart, honoring her memory in everything we do.
