IS YOUR RELATIONSHIP IN TROUBLE? HAS CONVENTIONAL MARRIAGE COUNSELLING FAILED YOU?

You may feel lost on where to start and how to turn your relationship around. Maybe your partner has already checked out, is not willing to go to, marriage counselling, couples therapy or you are just stuck in a conflict cycle that doesn’t leave room for connecting authentically.

DOES THIS SOUND LIKE YOU?

Do you have moments in your life that you feel:

  • Loneliness, not getting the support you hope, responsibility for everything?
  • Do you sometimes lay awake in your bed next to your sleeping husband feeling like you are miles away, not knowing what to do?
  • Starting each day hoping that he would give you one confident, caring look that day, give you SOME attention?
  • Do you notice other couples laughing, holding hands and kissing each other in public, hoping you would have a way to get back that connection with your husband?
  • Disappointed in yourself for getting into this situation?
  • Are you already thinking that a divorce is a real possibility, or have you even talked about a divorce?
  • Have you been to marriage counselling or couples therapy without lasting results?
  • Do you feel like you want to save your marriage, but you secretly feel like it might just be too late?

IF ANY OF THAT SOUNDS LIKE YOU, THEN I HAVE GOOD NEWS.

NONE of those things are the real problem, those are just the SYMPTOMS.

WHAT IF YOU HAD ALL THE TOOLS YOU NEEDED TO RECONNECT WITH YOUR PARTNER AND LOVE THEM MORE DEEPLY?

How is it possible to see results immediately?

Couples therapy

LET ME HELP YOU UNRAVEL THIS…

Since the day one you will have access to the Mindful Marriage program and all of its tools and strategies. Addition to the online program you will have weekly private coaching sessions, and UNLIMITED personal support throughout the 12-week program. You will get concrete, practical advice ANY time you need them. I provide you with hands on advise WHENEVER you feel like you need help. I am a positive, caring and skilful coach that works hard at helping you reach the results you want in your relationship.

DOESN’T IMPROVING A RELATIONSHIP ALSO REQUIRE A PARTNER?

Mindful Marriage is for women only. Change starts from within yourself. Clarity about yourself and the new ways of acting and thinking you learn in coaching will also reflect on your partner. You can hear about this perhaps surprising fact in these customer experience videos as well. The process is actually more efficient than conventional couples therapy or marriage counselling because you will see immediately what works. YOU are the only ”moving part”.

DON’T PEOPLE GO TO COUPLES THERAPY OR MARRIAGE COUNSELLING FOR MONTHS OR EVEN YEARS?

The duration of couples therapy and marriage counselling varies. Yes, in some cases traditional marriage counselling or couples therapy may take even years. However, Mindful Marriage is not a traditional couples therapy, but an intensive 12-week relationship coaching program designed to give you fast and lasting results.

DOES RELATIONSHIP COACHING ALSO WORK REMOTELY?

Absolutely yes! Mindful Marriage coaching has been specifically developed for remote implementation. It is a modern method and, according to research, at least as effective as face-to-face meetings. Most people notice positive changes and significant results within just the first few days and weeks. The results are achieved with the right support from me, someone who has a proven process to help you, by providing tools and strategies and also guiding you into implementing them successfully.

Marriage Counselling Alternative.
The Mindful Marriage Program.

The Mindful Marriage program is an exact system to get your marriage back on the right track starting from day ONE. This is not your conventional relationship or marriage counselling. The Mindful Marriage program encompasses a research based approach in communication, and its ultimate goals are to disarm conflicting verbal communication; increase intimacy, respect, and affection; remove barriers that create a feeling of stagnancy; and create a heightened sense of empathy and understanding within the context of the relationship.

I do not promise this will be an easy expedition. It will take work, commitment and a financial investment into your marriage and well-being of your family.

Mindful Marriage is an intensive solution focused 12 week program that has been developed to fast track progress that marriage counselling or couples therapy can take YEARS to bring to fruition. It is the result of over 20 years of learning about self-development and growth and 5 years of developing a sophisticated system that gently guides you but also gives you the right tools to expedite positive changes in your relationship.

This program was the culmination of work that is very close to my heart. It was birthed from the need to change my relationship and save MY marriage.

Although I led a fulfilling and successful business life, it meant NOTHING when my marriage was failing and my family was suffering, and all the stress even compromised my physical health. After evaluation and testing of various tools and methods for YEARS first on myself and then with my friends and clients, I now know exactly what works. And what surprised even myself, is that some of the shifts are exactly the opposite of what you normally hear when it comes to marriage advice!

You feel like you are giving and giving, and not getting anything back in return.

We’ve been told to adapt to the expectations of life and our partner. That the input comes from the outside, we need to anticipate what is wanted of us and fulfill the needs of others.

Expectations as a wife and mother come from the society, our parents relatives and in-laws, even movies, books and music! It’s very one-sided and pressuring.

Our Partner of course also has expectations he needs to fulfill, but traditionally men have had more freedom to CHOOSE how much they want to take responsibility for example with the household chores, or kids, their hobbies etc.  Our partner often has more freedom in his career, which may lead to financial imbalances too.

THE LIFE FLOW REPRESENTS ALL THE EVENTS IN LIFE.

The tasks you need to take care of at home, if there are any illnesses in your family or maybe chronic challenges with health, any pandemics going on, the work situation, where you live basically everything that’s happening on the outside, the every day situations that need reacting, organizing, consideration, remembering etc.

The life flow also represents your own personal past, what has happened to you in your life in your childhood or previous relationships etc. They ALL have an effect on you today, and can cause stress or anxiety.

The old way is to make sure everyone is ok, all is taken care of, the task list is done, and THEN receive satisfaction from things being well. This leaves very little time to connect with self. The feelings of happiness, when we feel happiness on rare occasions, come from the outside.

My ”Mindful Marriage Program” framework has it’s foundation in what I call ”Core Connection”.

IN THAT THE FOUNDATION OF EVERYTHING WE DO, ALL ACTION, IS THROUGH THE LENS OF CONNECTION AND INTENTION.

  • You’re taking the time to find out who you are, what you stand for, what is it that you need, before you start to take any action to improve your marriage.
  • You’re recognizing what are the elements in your life flow that are holding you back, is it in the past, in your now, or something about the future that’s keeping you unconnected. You’re removing old triggers, learning skills to find ease and happiness in your every day life.
  • The next step is to build the connection with your partner, THROUGH THIS NEW connection within yourself: Your partner is going to be interested in your new found confidence, and respect your desires, because you’re respecting your own self now! You’ll understand him better through the same frameworks you processed in the self connection piece, and he’ll want to connect with you because of that.
  • And once that connection is established, you’ll create the expectations, the goals and dreams for your marriage TOGETHER FROM THE INSIDE OUT, as a team, not let influence and expectations rule you from the outside!
  • What then maintains this in the long run is positive, respecting, skilful communication that needs to be ABSOLUTELY learned.

WHAT WE WANT TO BUILD IS A ROADMAP TO CONNECTION
