These new circumstances that we have all found ourselves in are really an invitation for us to discover a whole new level of connection in our relationships.
It’s an opportunity for us to grow, expand and evolve by learning how to love each other in a deeper way.

We are both married and moms, and we specialize in working with people to help them build the best relationships possible.
We have each had our own couple journeys and have experienced all sorts of relationship ups and downs over the years. We understand how impactful the quality of our couple relationships can be on the rest of our life experiences, and on our individual sense of health and wellbeing.
So we set out to help other couples achieve their maximum potential with all of our professional and personal knowledge.
With more than 35 years of combined experience, we’ve helped hundreds of couples and people in general. We’d love to help you too.
We designed Consciously Connected to provide a transformational and supportive environment for you.
We will meet 8 times on Zoom for 1.5 hours each session. We will teach the course content live. You will be able to ask questions and improve your relationship through workshops and exercises.
It can be very challenging to be emotionally present or A.R.E. (Accessible, Responsive and Engaged, © Sue Johnson) for your partner when you yourself feel overwhelmed or numb and shut down inside.
When you are outside of your “window of tolerance” for emotional experience, it is hard to think clearly and respond to your partner in a balanced manner.
Our transformative approach offers a new way forward during those times when you may feel helpless, hopeless, and alone.
You may have tried everything you know, from getting angry and defensive to keeping everything in, to asking nicely or begging tearfully and nothing seems to work.
This is where Consciously Connected helps. Sign up for this refreshing course and discover how understanding nature helps you to repair, communicate more effectively, take down your self-protective walls and flourish as never before.
Consciously Connected takes our work as couples to the next level. Join us and find out how to build a sustainable, reliable, and truly loving connection with your partner. Take the time to nurture your bond together with us.
Are you worried deep down that you aren’t worth attention and care? Do you sometimes think, “It doesn’t matter how hard I try or how much I do, my partner will never be happy with me and I’ll end up falling short regardless?” Are you both caught up in blame and shame?
We all go through similar struggles, as couples, both in terms of what we fight about (money, sex, parenting, jobs around the house and in-laws, etc.) as well as how we fight (loops of attack, defense and shutdown).
WE ARE ALL IN THE SAME BOAT.
IT’S TIME FOR US TO CONNECT AS A COMMUNITY OF COUPLES.
Wouldn’t it be wonderful to feel normal and a sense of belonging within a community of couples?
Wouldn’t it be great not to feel like you have to hide as though you’re different from other couples?
Dr. Sue Johnson, the leader of the development of Emotionally-Focused Therapy for couples, says we are down to a “community of two” in our society which puts a lot of pressure on our partners to be our “everything.”
Well, just like the saying goes, “it takes a village to raise a child,” it also takes a whole environment to keep us on track in our couple relationships. We can’t do it alone.
We need to surround ourselves with a positive environment, including other couples that will remind us what’s really important and inspire us to adopt new approaches in our relationships.
So many of our issues result from the challenging and even traumatic environments we were raised in which is why it’s so hard to change them. We need a new framework that will provide positive examples, accountability and support in learning novel ways of relating.
This is our goal. To create, alongside you, a new, supportive environment, full of couples who are learning how to connect and can encourage one another along the way!
Yes! The rules of love are not gender-specific and apply to everyone! If we speak of “masculine/feminine” we are referencing energies within each of us. We also teach generalized attributes of men and women that can be applied to specific cases as suitable. We do use personal examples from our heterosexual relationships in the program.
If you cannot participate with your partner, you can join and complete the exercises individually. When one person in a partnership changes their "steps in the dance," the relationship changes and has to adjust as well.
If you are single, this course will give you a thorough and powerful foundation that will help you create conscious connections in your current relationships and prepare you for a potential, future couple relationship.
Going through the program with other couples is the most helpful part of this great group experience. We are all influenced by the environments we are exposed to. Most couples express how beneficial it is to feel like a normal couple since we all go through similar challenges. Also, this course provides the opportunity to learn from "positive examples" and to be inspired by the successes of other couples. There will be opportunities to share in the chat, by opening your microphones in the main zoom room and in breakout rooms with other couples. What you choose to share or not is, of course, up to you.
Consciously Connected is a psycho-educational process and includes sharing opportunities.
If you feel unsafe and are in a crisis involving...
...individual or couples therapy is likely the better option for you at the time.
No refunds afterwards as we are trying to build a committed group experience that will transform your relationship.
