Research shows couples who turn toward each other’s bids for connection stay together 86% of the time.

It’s not about avoiding conflict — it’s about how you show up when it happens.

Think about it…

•Do you shut down when your partner is upset?
•Do you defend yourself before really listening?
•Do you say “I’m fine” when you’re actually hurt?
•Do you replay the same argument over and over, without resolution?

💔 These patterns quietly erode intimacy. I’ve lived them. Most of us have.

What’s different now is that I have practices that help me:

✨ Stay regulated when I’m triggered
✨ Communicate feelings without blame
✨ Pause between reaction and response
✨ Be humble enough to reflect and repair

That’s exactly what T-Group is designed for.

It’s a living practice ground where you:
•Notice your patterns in real time
•Share your honest experience and feel the impact
•Learn to listen with presence instead of defense
•Build emotional resilience and intimacy skills you can take into every relationship

It’s raw, alive, sometimes uncomfortable but that’s where transformation happens.

Most of us were never taught how to actually relate.

We learned how to perform, please, withdraw, or protect ourselves…

but not how to stay grounded, honest, and present in connection.

The result?

👉 Reactivity
👉 Loneliness
👉 Disconnection
👉 Shutting down

These aren’t personal flaws.

They’re natural consequences of not having a practice for relating.

The good news?

These are skills you can learn. And that’s exactly what we practice in T-Group.

✺ A T-Group (short for “Training Group”) is a dynamic, experiential practice for building relational skills, deepening self-awareness, and connecting authentically with others.

✺ Through real-time reporting on your experience, you’ll gain deeper self-understanding of how you function and create more space between your impulses and reactions.

✺ We slow down enough to notice:

→ What am I feeling in my body?

→ What thoughts or stories am I making up?

→ What’s it like to share honestly and feel the impact?

✺ Rather than talking about life, we practice being in it — with real-time feedback, courageous self-expression, and attentive listening.

We’d love to have you join this life-changing practice.

Have you ever left a conversation wishing you’d shown up differently?

👉 Maybe you reacted too quickly.
👉 Maybe you shut down.
👉 Maybe you didn’t say what was really true.

This is exactly why we practice T-Group.

On Sunday, Sept 14th at 10am PT, join us for a Virtual T-Group — a guided 2-hour session where you’ll:

✨ Create space between reaction and response
✨ Speak your truth with confidence
✨ Build resilience to hold others’ emotions without shutting down
✨ Experience real intimacy by being fully yourself

This isn’t theory. It’s a living practice…raw, real, and transformative.

Most of us were never taught how to truly relate.

We learned to protect, perform, or avoid.

But not how to create connection, speak truth, or stay open when it gets hard.

That’s why we need practice.

✨ T-Group gives you a living practice ground to build the skills of intimacy, presence, resilience, and connection.

What is a T-Group?

A T-Group (short for “Training Group”) is a dynamic, experiential practice for building relational skills, deepening self-awareness, and connecting authentically with others.

Through real-time sharing of your inner world, you’ll:

→ Slow down and notice what’s happening in your body
→ Catch the thoughts + stories that shape your reactions
→ Share honestly and experience your impact
→ Create space between your impulses and your choices

It’s not about talking about life. It’s about practicing being in it together in real time.

It’s raw. It’s alive. Sometimes uncomfortable. And that’s where transformation happens.

So many of us were never taught how to create secure love, how to communicate without shutting down, how to repair after conflict, or how to build safety that makes passion possible.

That’s the work I do in my private work.

💎 1:1 sessions for individuals ready to shift patterns and experience secure, embodied love.
💎 2:1 sessions for couples ready to deepen safety, communication, and intimacy.

I have limited spots open for private clients right now. If you’ve been feeling the pull, this is the time.

📩 DM me “LOVE” and I’ll share the details with you.
