A couple’s relationship is central to the well-being of their family but...
No one ever tells you that parenthood tipped their relationship upside down or that they were unprepared for the reality of parenting. No one tells you that you’ll constantly learn new things about yourself and your partner, and no one tells you that you can lose yourself as well as each other in the mysterious world of parenthood.
This is your invitation to….
Renegotiate and rewrite the ‘rules’
Create your own version of liberated parenting
For couples beginning their journey
Kudos to you for taking the time to prepare yourself and your relationship for this life altering experience. In addition to the individual transition each of you will go through as you enter parenthood, your relationship will also undergo significant changes.
In preparation, we’ll explore your expectations of parenthood as well as the expectations you have of yourself and each other. Together you’ll identify the strengths of your relationship, discover shared values and create rituals for connection with one another amidst the chaos.
