Evolutionary Love
Love relationships bring up our unresolved traumas, by design. The places of resentment, silence, and need in relationship are the places that need safe space to unfold and resolve.
You don't have to carry the emotional burden of your partners' trauma - there is a mutual, evolutionary opportunity when you hold compassionate space for one another. I will teach you how, using body-based and present-moment noticing practices and safe exercises, and you will experience more connection, love, and intimacy with your soul mate.

Here are some of my all-time favorite client testimonials.
Sally, wife
"I certainly had fears about doing this type of relationship work. It's difficult to open the vulnerability of ourselves and our partnership to a stranger. After more than twenty years with the same partner, I had developed some unhealthy energetic patterns that were not serving either of us.
The types of codependent, almost smothering, energies that I was using to try and connect with my partner were stifling him and depleting me. Without the attunement and embodiment practices offered by Sarah and the sacred space she held for us, I'm sure we'd still be stuck in old patterns."
Amanda, wife
"My husband and I decided to work with Sarah as a couple to help us through some looping patterns we just couldn't talk our way through. When we started working with Sarah she taught us how to take a pause, explore where we were both coming from, and when we approached the issues we were having through a feeling process, rather than just talking it out, we were able to move THROUGH the looping pattern and find answers and resolution.
This process was very different from any talk therapy we tried, which had not been effective for us. In our case the coaching she does has been the MOST effective thing we have done to find help in getting through the looping patterns we had occurring in our relationship. Her coaching is trauma and archetype informed. Until we worked with Sarah, my husband and I really didn't realize how much past traumas and archetype patterns were playing out in our dynamics and hindering us from moving forward.
We now feel like we have been able to move past the looping patterns we had going on for years. We walked away with tools and resources that have continued to enable us to grow as individuals and as a couple. We are grateful to be in a place where we feel like we are connected again at a soul level and we have a renewal of intimacy as a couple."
Jacob, husband
"I really liked the arc/flow of alternating between 1:1 sessions then together as a couple to apply/practice together what we learned. I also appreciated the thought that goes into adapting on the fly to our current needs and using your intuition to guide where we went.
I became more attuned to my body through noticing & attunement exercises, getting in touch with my own body and learning to describe that showed me I can go deeper, and by doing so I can go deeper with my partner. I learned to energetically penetrate my wife and I feel more empowered now."

Mini-workshop
One of my favorite things to do is to customize a deeper experience for couples. We can do this on Zoom, and some couples come to Asheville, NC as a destination and include a mini-workshop with me as a part of their stay. We set up "tiny experiments" of connection around key issues in your relationship and work through what arises. 2-4 hours.
Prices vary: $500 and up

Frequently Asked Questions
1 / What is the session structure?
Weeks 1, 3, 5, 7, 10, 13, 14, 15, 16 we all 3 meet together in a 75-90 minute zoom call.
Weeks 2, 6, 9, 11 I meet with each of you separately in two different sessions those weeks.
Weeks 4, 8, 12 are integration weeks where you practice, catch up, and integrate what we've done so far.
During sessions, it will be a combination of conversation, sharing present-moment notices, and practicing the tiny connection experiments that I give you, and noticing and sharing what arises.
2 / How is this couples coaching trauma-informed?
I developed this work, including the tiny connection experiments I lead couples through, based on research-based information in mindfulness, trauma healing modalities, and somatic awareness. Then I combined that with what I know about feminine and masculine energies, the evolution of healing past patriarchal traumas, and my own lived experience of being a woman in a body.
​
This work is trauma-informed because we never rush or disrespect your body, system, or the experience you are having. In fact, this is a new way of relating that centers on making sharing safe.
3 / How does this help us to communicate better?
Often, when couples have difficulty communicating, it is because there is a trigger behind what is being said that they aren't aware of, they're trying to be "heady" about something that is actually very somatic, and because they aren't speaking about their own experience and listening with compassion.
​
In this space, I teach you a formula for 1) Noticing what is going on for you, 2) Communicating from that place with your partner, 3) Listening to your partner's notices with compassion, 4) Allowing one another to have your own experience, 5) Speaking your needs somatically and having them met in the exercises.
This deepens emotional, physical and spiritual intimacy.
4 / Can I back out once I start?
It is very normal for there to be resistance once we start this process because it can get vulnerable. However, there are no refunds, so please be sure to talk with one another and with me thoroughly before beginning.
The reason that I am not going to give you the "easy-out" is because we are creating a sacred container within which transformation can occur. While this is safe, easeful, and trauma-informed, it will likely also test you. There is safety in staying in the process, and allowing the alchemy of change to happen in a non-pressuring way.
5 / How is this couples coaching different from relationship therapy?
Talk-therapy can be a very helpful tool, and many of my clients have used a talk therapist or are pairing my coaching with their more traditional therapy.
​
While I am trained in mindfulness and trauma informed modalities, what I offer to couples came as a creative combination of both personal and professional experience. I am happy to say that it is effective.
​
We go deep within a committed 16 week container (if you're doing the full package), whereas therapy you go week by week, and can drop off whenever you want.
​
This process will also give you "home-play" to do between sessions. Therapists typically don't give you specific feedback or coaching advice, but I will, and I'll give you things to try between sessions.
This is orientated in healing, growth and transformation. It is not heavy on mental processing, but more about building skills, getting vulnerable, and re-patterning the very spaces that you usually get stuck. It is more experiential than therapy. And many clients report that they have found it to be more effective for their relationship connection than therapy.
