My Offerings
The Future Is Yours
You are intently searching or have found the love of your life! Are you ready for commitment? “Well, the rest of my life is a long time! What if differences come up? How will we handle changes and challenges?” The future IS yours and YOU choose the outcome!
Strengthen Your Love
As a couple, you have great chemistry…now, but, statistics show that most people starting out that way, still end up unsatisfied, unhappy or divorced. The fear of losing what you have now, and the disappointment that follows, needs to be harnessed into a force that builds your relationship!
Look Beyond Fears
Did you take a Romance Science course in school? Probably not, because it probably wasn’t offered. Understanding the science and concepts of love and romance can help you take your relationship to a higher level. Creating an environment safe enough to address fears and challenges, working together with your partner, creates a long-lasting, supportive and thriving union!
About Me
Hi!
Happily ever after…
I met my husband, Doug, attending college in Hawaii. After one month, he asked me to marry him! Studying psychology, I knew it was crazy, but I accepted his proposal! We were engaged for six months and are now approaching 40 years of marriage.
But it wasn’t always the happily ever after that Disney had promised! After twenty-five years, six kids, and a major medical event, it felt like we had become roommates, involved but living unconnected, parallel lives – an invisible divorce. We went to marriage counseling and the turning point came when the therapist gave us a handout with a quote saying, “Conflict is growth trying to happen.”
Through the experience of learning three simple steps to communicate, we now understand that we each married “potential” NOT “perfection.” We also know and practice the skills it took me years to learn, to create the happily-ever-after for us!
In the many couples’ workshops, we’ve done across the country, the feedback we’ve heard most is, “I wish I would have known this before we got married.”
That is why I teach tools and skills, while guiding committed couples, in getting a jump start on a long-lasting, positive and happily-ever-after relationship!
