FAQs
How do I take the time out of my busy life with kids/work etc?
In my experience, I find that couples end up taking forced time out from work/regular commitments due to relationship strain, break downs or divorce.
It is better to take a pro-active approach! What better way is there to rekindle your relationship in a relaxing, luxurious, counselling retreat.
What if we get stuck or something happens when we get home?
You have an hour long session to work through any additional challenges via Zoom once you get home. This will help you get clear.
If you are VIP you will have additional private sessions and access to my online course for 6 months for further support.
What do we need to bring to the retreat?
Yourselves and luggage that is all. You can also bring two dinners if you would like or go out for these dinners.
When will the next retreat be?
You can choose dates that suits you. The best way is to send through 3-4 dates that would suit and I can check my availability and the accomodations availability.
I am worried about the investment.
The investment is for a couples counsellor to be there to give you new skills, work through challenges and what is it worth to you to have peace, love, connection and joy in your relationship?
The retreat is also for a luxury cabin and is all inclusive. You will be reconnecting in a beautiful, lovely setting and will be fully supported throughout the journey. You will also receive a follow up session and other valuable resources after the retreat.
Payment plans and a pay upfront discount is available.
Something that may be difficult to think about but is positive when viewed through another lens is what would be the emotional/physical or financial/legal cost of all parties if your relationship broke down or ended in divorce? What about your children- navigating custody is not where you want to be.
Couples that have gone through this process will tell you it is an emotionally and financially costly process.
You and your relationship are worth the investment and the returns are intangible.
How will I know what to do when I get home?
When you get home you will be emailed your own tailored roadmap, specific to your relationship. With highlighted actions on where to start and then progress to.
We have legal things in place. Can we still do the retreat?
It depends what kind of legal things are in place – please let me know what they are and we can discuss the best fit for you.
