Foundations of Love

You deserve a loving partnership.

But you didn’t grow up seeing or experiencing healthy love.

You try to set boundaries but end up feeling guilty about them later. You try to share how you feel but often feel like you’re walking on eggshells so you keep it to yourself instead. You don’t quite know what to do in order to attract and maintain a partnership that is healthy, caring, and fulfilling.

This course is designed to give you the essential tools and insights to nurture (and KEEP) deep, lasting love.

Have you struggled with this?

  • You feel like you are smashing your career goals but you can’t seem to figure this whole “relationship” thing out. You’re starting to think something is wrong with you.

  • You want to open up to love again but you’re still struggling with the emotional baggage of the past. Every time someone gets close, you want to run away.

  • You’re finally with someone who feels like a really good fit for you, but you are afraid of self-sabotaging and messing it up. It feels like your first healthy relationship. You want it to go well, but you also feel a lot of pressure.

  • You know there are boundaries you want to set in your life, but you feel like you can’t. You’re afraid of getting into arguments with people, being made out to be the “bad guy”, or losing people you love.

  • You avoid confrontation. Whenever you hear the words, “Can we talk?” your body breaks out in hives. You don’t know how to handle it emotionally when someone has a problem and so you try your best to avoid it.

  • You feel resentful of people in your life. You try not to, you don’t want to feel this way, but you feel like you are kind of being taken advantage of in your relationships and you can feel yourself starting to snap.

  • You’ve had a series of hard, maybe even nasty, relationships lately. You don’t know what’s going wrong or how you keep picking, “the wrong people” but you have this nagging thought in the back of your mind that you are never going to find somebody.

I get it! I’ve been there.

I struggled with relationships for a very long time.

I grew up in a home where there was always an argument. Most nights that argument lasted until 2 am. I remember cracking open the garage door and trying to sense the energy in the house so that I could decide whether I was going to be heading straight up to my room or could grab a snack from the kitchen first. The only way that I learned how to communicate if I didn’t like something was by saying something passive-aggressive under my breath or getting into a shouting match. I had terrible relationship anxiety and avoided dating because I didn’t want to get “trapped” in a relationship with someone. I struggled to maintain close relationships with people and never quite felt like I fit in.

I really wanted to be liked and to feel loved, but I felt doomed in my relationships.

But then I had an epiphany. I had never learned the basics of having a good relationship with someone. No one ever taught me how to set a boundary. No one every taught me how to build trust. No one ever taught me how to communicate or connect with others.

This was something I could learn. This is something you can learn too!

Imagine in a matter of weeks you…

  • Feel at ease on dates because you know how to communicate and advocate for your needs and desires.

  • Trust yourself to be in a healthy relationship without the fear of getting in your own way and messing it up.

  • You feel calm and confident setting boundaries without guilt. Not only that- but your boundaries are respected!

  • You stop people pleasing to get people to like you and instead show up as fully yourself and get loved for who you ARE, not who you pretend to be or what you do for others.

  • You trust the person you are dating and you are able to open up and be intimate on a deep emotional level.

  • It’s easy for you to strike up a conversation by the chip bowl at a party. Instead of feeling anxious or awkward you feel confident and look forward to getting to know someone new.

  • You ask for what you want in your relationships- and get it!

  • Hard conversations don’t feel as hard. You are able to listen to someone tell you what’s not working for them and collaborate with them to find a solution that feels integrity for you but also honors the other person.

  • You know how to turn conflict into an opportunity to connect with someone and understand them better.

I want this for you.

Here’s how we get it.
