Revitalizing Relationships & Empowering Communication

A Relationship & Communication

Weekend Tune-Up

A heart centered, in person weekend for couples in Nelson, BC who are

ready to strengthen connection, deepen communication, and revitalize Love

through embodied, therapeutic support.

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 weekend 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.”

~ Esther Perel

This will be a fun safe space of shared learning & relational tune up.

We'll be covering core teachings & practices for healthy thriving relationships.

Revitalizing Relationships & Empowering Communication
