“The quality of your relationships determines the quality of your life.” Esther Perel
What if growing together didn’t mean hard conversations, endless analysis, or dredging up the past?
My workshops are future-focused, light-touch, and designed to help you feel more connected in your nervous system and your shared vision.
Because love is a practice. And you don’t have to do it alone.
What we will do together
• Reflective, playful exercises
• Nervous-system tools
• Grounded in relationship theory (but way more digestible)
• A guide (hi, it’s me) gently holding space with light-touch somatic coaching throughoutThese sessions are themed around what you most need right now. Your next best conversation might be waiting inside this workshop.
Part workshop, part guided conversation, part somatic coaching — where you and your partner get to pause, reconnect, and consciously shape what’s next.
This is self-development, together.
Because your relationship deserves intentional tending.
“Connection is the energy that is created between people when they feel seen, heard, and valued — when they can give and receive without judgment.” Brene Brown
“Naming Us” Session
The theme for this session is 'Naming Us'. An introduction to re-meeting each other in a new embodied and curious way, naming of your foundations and an opportunity to be seen and heard by one another.
To give you a flavour, the session will include the following types of activities:
💕 Somatic practices
- Mirroring (Welcome somatic connection exercise in your couple, finding physical contact through movement, coming into somatic presence & co-regulation)
- In-Sync Breathing (breathing as one organism, finding your rhythm somatically)
- Hello Hand (gentle touch and hand massage to focus on slow, embodied re-meeting)
✍️Writing Activities - Wheel of Life (a check-in activity to re-use for relationship MOT)
- What I Know of You (free flow writing activity, followed my conscious sharing)
- 3 Things (a writing activity on 'I bring, you bring, I've learned, I promise, we want', honing in on where you're at and where you want to go)
☁️Visualisations & Meditations
- Reliance Visualisation (guided visualisation tapping into the felt sense of memory, savouring the embodiment of reliability in the couple)
- Momentum Meditation (guided meditation to encourage expansive momentum together)
- A Perfect Day (visualising the perfectly crafted future, from awaking to sleeping and all that's between)
Are you a couple who wants to explore...
🔸 What’s the next edge of intimacy or vulnerability we want to lean into?
🔸 How can we keep cultivating this connection as our lives evolve?
🔸 Where are we ready to play more, dream bigger, or take a leap together?
🔸 What could deepen if we intentionally attuned to each other, body to body, breath to breath?“The session was an unexpected surprise! We did not know exactly what to expect going in and we came out happier and stronger for it. It was such a simple, yet truly effective session demonstrating the power of introspection and communication, that was both enjoyable and left with tools to use going forward…” Gus & Tolga
How you show up is up to you
These workshops are built on the power of co-regulation — the quiet magic that happens when two nervous systems meet with intention. There’s something transformative about being in the same field, even in silence.
You’re welcome to participate actively, speak and be witnessed, or simply sit together on mute and follow the process in your own space.
There’s no pressure to perform. Just an invitation to be present — with yourself, each other, and what wants to emerge between you.
