Why is it that all too often our romantic partners get the worst parts of us instead of the best parts of us?

Why are long-term partnerships particularly trying?

How do we maintain passion over the course of time, even once we settle into routines and familiarity?

How do we hold ourselves accountable to the promises we’ve made, and together build a thriving partnership which we are delighted to return home to day in and day out?

FOCUS:

• RELATIONAL SKILL BUILDING

• RELATIONSHIP TO SELF & ENVIRONMENT FOR A POWERFUL PARTNERSHIP

• APPRECIATIVE INQUIRY

• FAMILY OF ORIGIN PATTERN BREAKING

• PARTNERSHIP DESIGN

RESULTS:

• COMPASSIONATE RELATIONSHIPS

• RADIANCE & JOY

• BRAVERY IN YOUR HEART

• ALIGNED WITH YOUR PURPOSE & INTEGRITY

• INCREASED CREATIVITY

• GREATER AMOUNTS OF LOVE & ENJOYMENT

Those ripe for this work might be:

• wanting to step into more satisfying, kind and truthful relationships

• yearning for something deeper, but not sure how to get there

• stewing in toxic patterns that are draining their relationship’s life force

• resigned to being in a relationship that's not serving them and not sure what to do about it

“If your marriage is in trouble or you don't have the marriage you know you could have, consider working with Sarah! We were fortunate to work with Sarah after nearly two years of traditional couples therapy, where we didn't see any real progress. We were in a cycle of conflict and resentment that we feared we would never get out of. I had heard about RLT from a book I read, and we started with Sarah hoping for a seismic shift we hadn't been able to create on our own. In a very short time working with Sarah, gratitude and appreciation returned to our relationship. Cycles of anger and defensiveness started to break down that were hard coded into our interactions for years. I can't fully explain the magic, but that's what it felt like. Sarah was a gift to our marriage, and we are so grateful for her and the work she helped us do to walk closer to the marriage we both dreamed of having.”

-Alice & Jake

“My husband and I faced a significant learning opportunity that triggered our most core wounds and I knew we needed help. I specifically looked for a non-traditional couples therapist trained by Terry Real, who's one of the nation's relationship experts and has a solution-oriented approach to therapy.

As soon as I saw Sarah's video on her website I knew she was the one and she also happens to be a graduate of a Buddhist university. We worked with her weekly for 2 months, each session being 2hrs. OMG, the transformation my husband and I went through was absolutely astounding.

We left every session feeling seen, heard, understood, supported, and with significant progress that actually made a difference in our relationship. The homework we received helped us deepen the shifts and insights from each session.

Sarah is such a genuine, loving, compassionate, guide. If you are looking to do real work (not just venting), I highly recommend working with Sarah.”

-Gemini Ferrie

“Sarah has helped us realize the depth of love we share. We are more compassionate, present minded, and forward thinking. We learned the value of big and small community, and we couldn’t be better prepared for marriage.

We believe Sarah is servicing the world through her calling to bring couples and communities together in companionship and celebration, and we can’t recommend her more highly.”

Taylor and Kimi

"Working with you has completely transformed our relationship. You are a gifted coach and have been so on point with knowing how to support us! We are communicating better than ever, aware of our patterns, and able to work through a fight MUCH more quickly. I now realize that our disagreements have gifts! You have made a big difference for us. Your coaching has taught me how to communicate my truth through conversations that are gentle, kind, loving and affirming; and yet I am making my point, taking care of myself, and not being a doormat! What I have learned from you is just fantastic. We would NOT be where we are today without the sessions we've had with you, Sarah. You got what was going on and you saved us. You really did. I just can't thank you enough."

Anne Marie and Skip

"We met with Sarah three times before our wedding as a way to set aside time to discuss issues in our relationship about which we were contemplating. This having been the first time either of us had worked with a coach, we were both nervous. Sarah recognized that immediately and was able to frame an atmosphere that helped us relax and share freely. Her skill that first session allowed us to approach the next two sessions with excitement and comfort. Sarah balanced sharing personal experience, to help us feel like she understood from where we were coming, with skill of keeping sessions focused on us and our needs. She was kind, warm and also allowed us the space to laugh. We truly enjoyed the experience working with Sarah and would like to figure out a way to make space in our lives for continued coaching."

Rachel and Shawn

"Our time with Sarah has been absolutely eye opening.  Sarah has given us the space needed to thoughtfully reflect on the relationships we have with others, and with ourselves. By the end of only a few sessions, we took a step back and saw how far we had come.  We can say confidently that with Sarah's help we have greatly improved our ability to communicate with ourselves, each other and the people surrounding us."

Aaron and Dayna

“What I love about Sarah is her presence of peace and compassion. Her empathy and ability to listen helped me to feel open with her immediately. She is able to hone in on what I should work on and then teaches me the tools to help me communicate in a kind and open way, acknowledging when my adaptive child is kicking in. These tools are an absolute must in every relationship! I thoroughly appreciate working with her and would definitely recommend her!"

Cara

“Sarah is an intuitive and empathetic coach who brings a highly honed skill of deep listening to every session. She's supported me in navigating so many different aspects of my life: how to be an effective leader and facilitate challenging conversations at work, how to maintain my confidence in my artistic practice, and how to approach my most intimate partnerships with an empowered and open mind. In each session, there is ample space to process and reflect on what is challenging me that week or causing me anxiety, but she also successfully helps me practice looking at what was working in my life vs what wasn't. She suggests tangible tools and sets realistic goals after each session, so I leave feeling grounded and supported.”

"Emotion is the messenger of love; it is the vehicle that carries every signal from one brimming heart to another. For human beings, feeling deeply is synonymous with being alive."
