Our Melbourne Exclusive Retreats are perfect if you're experiencing any of the following challenges in your relationship: 

  • You’re stuck in patterns of communication that get in the way of connection and understanding.
  • Your relationship difficulties are starting to impact your work or parenting.
  • Expressing emotions is difficult for one or both of you, making it challenging to connect on a deeper level.

“I define connection as the energy that exists between people when they feel seen, heard, and valued; when they can give and receive without judgment; and when they derive sustenance and strength from the relationship”
