Weekend Workshops for Couples
who are ready to (re)discover a deeper connection, healing, and intimacy
I partner with the best relationship experts to create workshops that are interactive, educational, fun – and truly healing experiences. Held both in-person and online, our workshops are safe spaces, and we welcome couples of all orientations, genders, relationships, and sexual practices to our workshops.
These workshops are designed to teach you how to step out of the loops of conflict and disconnection, talk to one another so you can feel truly heard and understood while also getting deeper insight into your partner’s experience. There are exercises to help you address emotional injuries, keep your relationship going strong even after the workshop, and (re)spark a deeper level of emotional and physical intimacy.
“After struggling for years, and on the verge of divorce, we have finally found a way to communicate our feelings and needs.”
