What Clients Say    


Our relationships are the most fundamental need underlying every aspect of our lives. When our relationships suffer, we suffer. Unfortunately, we are held prisoner by our beliefs. Changing our beliefs about relationships and about ourselves will forever change our lives. But first - we have to know what those beliefs are!

Relationship coaching is about prevention or preventative maintenance, if you prefer, and learning new skills. Studies show that most couples wait until after six years of marriage before seeking help, and often the damage is irreversible. And guess what else? People who were unhappy in their marriages were often just as unhappy after the divorce.

Are you single and looking for an ideal life partner?

Are you ready for a healthy, loving relationship? If you discover that you are not yet ready, what work do you need to do on you? How is your relationship with yourself?

What do you want from a relationship? What relationship skills do you have?

How will coaching help? Coaching will: 1. Help your determine if you are ready for a relationship. 2. Help you determine what your core requirements for an ideal life partner are - these are the deal breakers. 3. Help you determine what you need from your life partner - these are the issues that can be resolved. 4. Help you determine what you want from your partner - these are the smile makers! Coaching will also keep you accountable to your core requirements.

Are you a couple who would like to develop repair strategies for dealing with conflict BEFORE conflict damages your relationship?

Waiting until conflict occurs before having a repair strategy in place is like being in a car with NO steering wheel. Drive a car long enough without a steering wheel, and you will crash! Plan ahead. Be prepared. Your relationship with your life partner is the most important emotional attachment you'll ever have.

How do you discuss emotional cycles in your relationship? How do you handle periods of withdrawal (and these always happen)? How do you bring up difficult issues with your partner? How long do you leave issues on the table before dealing with them. How long does it take before unresolved issues begin to fester?

How will coaching help? Coaching is about building on the strengths of your relationship. Having a coach during the initial stages of your relationship is like having a financial planner early in your adult life. Planning for future relationship events is no different, albeit just as important, than planning for future financial events.
