LoveAlive
Revitalizing Relationships & Empowering Communication
A Relationship & Communication Tune-Up
A heart centered, in person 8 week course for couples in Nelson, BC who are
ready to strengthen connection, deepen communication, and revitalize Love
through embodied, therapeutic support and skills development.
Love doesn’t always disappear when things get hard - but connection can.
Without support, even the strongest relationships can get caught in loops of miscommunication,
reactivity, disconnection, or emotional distance.
This course helps you slow down and reconnect. To really see and hear each other again.
To feel like a team - not opponents.
To leave with tools, insights, and shared moments that ripple forward.
“The quality of our relationships determines the quality of our lives.”
