The experience

Six weeks of turning toward each other.

Even strong, loving couples drift into autopilot when life gets full. This class is a structured, goal-directed way to come back — six weeks of building deeper attunement, one focused theme at a time, until turning toward each other feels natural again.

It's grounded in well-researched principles of what keeps relationships warm, connected, and lasting. Each week we focus on one of those principles, with daily prompts and playful activities that turn it into a felt habit. It's fun with a purpose — and by the end, most couples can feel the difference.

How it flows

Two live sessions, six guided weeks

Step one
Opening session · 75 min

We begin together on Zoom — a relaxed couple intake where we name your goals, the kind of closeness you're hoping for, and what you'd love to see move over the six weeks. This shapes everything that follows.

Step two
Weekly lessons & portal

Each week, a new principle opens in your private portal — with daily motivation, simple prompts, bite-sized education on connection, and playful activities for showing appreciation. The portal is two-way: you can share your wins and accomplishments as you go, and I stay engaged with you each week, responding and cheering you on. A small nudge toward each other every day.

Step three
Mid-point review · 60 min

Around the midway point, we meet again on Zoom for an hour to celebrate the movement you're already feeling, answer questions, and add a little extra guidance to finish strong. In all, we meet together twice — and if you'd like more at the end, you're always welcome to schedule another session.

The curriculum

One principle a week

Each week builds on the last — a focused theme, taught through daily portal lessons and activities, so attunement grows steadily across the six weeks.

Week one
Knowing Your Person

Refreshing your inner map of each other — the hopes, worries, history, and everyday details that make your partner who they are right now. Closeness starts with truly knowing.

Week two
Fondness & Admiration

Actively noticing and naming what you respect, cherish, and find lovely in each other — and saying it out loud. The heart of gratitude in a relationship.

Week three
Turning Toward

Catching the small, everyday bids for attention and affection — and choosing to answer them. The little moments are where connection is actually built.

Week four
Speaking & Listening with Care

Everyday communication that draws you closer — sharing what you feel and need with warmth, and listening to truly understand. Small shifts in how you speak and hear each other change everything.

Week five
Letting Each Other In

Honoring each other's perspective and letting yourselves be influenced — the openness, respect, and give-and-take in how you talk things through that help two people feel like a team.

Week six
Shared Meaning & Keeping the Spark

Introducing one more principle — the shared dreams, rituals, and meaning you're building together — and weaving all six weeks into habits you can keep. Celebrating how far you've come and carrying your closeness forward.

Weekly themes may be tailored to fit each couple's goals and what you most want to grow.

What you'll feel grow

Real movement toward each other

Attunement

Tuning in to each other's inner world with real care.

Gratitude

A daily habit of noticing and naming what you love.

Connection

Small rituals that rebuild closeness and warmth.

Momentum

Structure and goals that turn intention into change.

Is this for you?

Finding the right fit

This is for you if…

You're a securely-connected couple who wants to spice things up and have fun together.

Life is busy — careers, kids, schedules — and you want structure to find your way back to each other.

You've slipped out of the habit of connection and want to intentionally rebuild a daily rhythm of appreciation.

You're a newer couple wanting to start a strong, loving habit together early.

You're engaged or premarital and want to learn basic connection and communication skills — a wonderful fit.

You're curious, open, and both genuinely want to play, grow, and feel closer.

This isn't the right fit if…

·

You're in active conflict or facing real communication breakdowns.

·

There's unresolved betrayal, resentment, or you're considering separation.

·

You're hoping this will fix or repair a relationship that's struggling.

·

You're looking for couples counseling, mediation, or conflict resolution.

·

One partner feels unheard, reluctant, or is joining only to appease the other.

If any of these ring true, that's okay — a different kind of support would simply serve you better right now, and I'm glad to point you in a good direction.

An important distinction

This is enrichment — not couples counseling.

I want to be very clear and very careful here, because it matters. I do not offer traditional couples counseling, and this class is in no way conflict management or therapy. It's designed only for healthy, securely-connected couples who simply want to add more fun, love, and attunement to an already-good relationship.

If a couple is struggling with real conflict, communication breakdowns, betrayal, or the feeling that they genuinely need counseling, this experience is not for you — and it could do more harm than good. Practicing gratitude on top of unresolved hurt can quietly breed resentment rather than connection. Please honor where you are.

If that's where you find yourselves, I'd lovingly point you toward individual inner work first, and a qualified couples therapist for the relationship itself.

Why I believe in inner work first

Before any couple does deeper relationship work, I strongly believe each partner benefits from their own shadow work. Shadow work is the personal practice of turning toward the parts of ourselves we tend to hide, deny, or project onto our partner — old wounds, reflexes, and patterns that get triggered in closeness.

When each person takes responsibility for their own inner world first, there's far more safety, self-awareness, and steadiness to build on together. This class isn't that work — it's lighter and joyful by design — but I name it because it's foundational, and because the right order matters.

The six-week experience

One couple at a time, so the whole experience is personal: two live sessions together (a 75-minute opening intake and a 60-minute mid-point review), six weekly themed lessons, daily portal content and activities, and a library of principles to keep — for the two of you.

Investment
$500

For the full six weeks, both partners included.
