This workshop is for couples who have a desire to strengthen their bond, enhance communication, and foster deeper emotional and physical intimacy through clearer attunement and the wisdom of the body.
Through a blend of education, experiential practices, and guided couples work in a supportive group setting, you’ll understand yourself individually and as a couple with more clarity, depth and trust. Explore the power of vulnerability, learn to navigate and repair relational ruptures, and gain practical tools to build trust, clarity, and resilience in your relationship.
It takes great strength to be vulnerable in a relationship, yet vulnerability is the ground substance for healthy relationships. Understanding that ruptures are a natural part of a couples’ experience, the work of repair is often delayed or non-existent. True, healthful repair will strengthen your relationship.
Our goals for you include:
1-Move from 2 individuals relating to a relational system with trust and vulnerability.
2-Understand how each partner’s nervous system responds under stress—fight, flight, freeze, or fawn, and how this impacts communication and intimacy.
3-Recognizing subtle physical cues that indicate connection or disconnection and to create small moments of repair even in the midst of conflict.
4-Understanding how to differentiate between true aliveness vs. survival-driven intensity in relationship.
5-Reignite play, pleasure, and joy through somatic presence.
6-Experience safety in conflict: Learn how to stay embodied and connected even when there’s disagreement.
7-Learn how childhood attachment wounds affect present relationships and how to shift these automatic reactions to healthful relationship connections.
8-Use somatic practices and verbal interaction to develop safe connection and explore early attachment patterns and build secure connection.
9-Work with tension as a gateway to intimacy, not a threat to it.
Psychotherapy
Psychotherapy is an interpersonal, relational intervention used by trained psychotherapists to aid clients in improving their mental health. This usually includes increasing individual sense of well-being and reducing subjective discomforting experience. Psychotherapists employ a range of techniques based on experiential relationship building, dialogue, communication and behavior change that are designed to improve the mental health of a client or patient, or to improve group relationships (such as in a family).

Information for Clients
As an Integrative Therapist there are many choices of how to work. These can include typical psychotherapeutic approaches as well as movement, hands-on work, physical therapy, and others. However, the direction of work, integrative, alternating sessions or sequentially, depends on many factors which will be discussed together.
