Relationship Coaching

Redwoods are beacons of
resiliency and regeneration.

With personal trauma work, you can strip away old patterns and beliefs to become more resilient in your relationships. I look forward to helping you regenerate long-lost pieces of yourself.

We will use the Essential 5 Elements to help you improve your resiliency in relationships. Learning about and understanding your attachment style will help you in all of your relationships.

The Essential 5 Elements

Self Love

Do you feel like your self worth, self esteem or self talk gets in the way of your dating or relationship experiences?

We can work toward you knowing how amazing you truly are.

Communication

Do you have a hard time having real, open, and honest conversations about issues in your relationships, especially around sex?

We can work to improve how, when, and what you communicate.

Sex

Do you have sexual issues you don't feel you can discuss with others? Are your sexual experiences not meeting your expectations?

We can discover what is getting in the way.

Intimacy

Does it seem that, as time goes by, the intimacy in your relationships struggles? Intimacy is not just physical. It is the feeling of being truly seen, known, and safe with another person.

We will discover what is blocking intimacy.

Self-Preservation

Are you finding it hard to maintain your sense of self while being in a relationship?

We can work to help you find this balance.

Attachment Wounds

Together we can work to understand your attachment style and work on tools to becoming more securely attached. You don't have to navigate this alone. I'm here to help you create happier, healthier connections. Attachment wounds are emotional injuries from early, inconsistent, or harmful relationships with caregivers that disrupt a person's sense of safety and connection. These wounds can lead to difficulties in adult relationships, such as fear of abandonment, trust issues, and insecurity, and often manifest as anxious, avoidant, or disorganized attachment styles. They can also result from a specific, damaging incident in an adult relationship.

If this resonates with you, I’m here to help you understand your patterns and begin healing.

Why is coaching for you?

If you've always desired a close, happy, and healthy relationship, or if you are dating and wishing it would all go more smoothly, then coaching is for you. If you want coaching that can help you understand the areas in your life or relationship that need focus and improvement, you are in the right place. If you feel sexual issues are getting in the way of your relationships, we can address them. If you want to discuss issues in your sex life without blame, shame, or negative judgment, I am your person. Please note that I do not do any hands-on work. It is wise to consider coaching long before any issues arise in your relationship, as preventing issues is vital to maintaining a healthy one.

What if I am not in a relationship?

We are always in a relationship, even if it is only with ourselves. We will strengthen your self-love skills and work together on whatever issues are keeping you from a high-quality relationship.

What if I am breaking up, separating, or divorcing?

If you are putting yourself out there and have yet to find your ideal partner, there are bound to be breakups. I can help you end things in a healthy way, and together we can navigate the emotional issues that arise. We can also work through issues around separation of finances, property, friendships, or custody of children. It is possible to break up, move on, and remain friends. Especially when children are involved, this should be the goal whenever possible.

Specialized Services

Are you a parent who is struggling to discuss sexuality with your teenager? I am available to help address these issues, either as a family or one-on-one with your teenager.

Have you "put in the work" in your relationship and are left feeling stuck?

Ask me about Couples Ketamine Sessions.

How does it work and what should I expect?

Coaching sessions can take place via online video or telephone, whichever you are more comfortable with. I recommend a free 20-minute telephone call to get to know each other and make sure we are a good fit. Coaching takes place over a series of three or more sessions. Change takes practice, and I find that it takes at least several sessions to truly "work the problem."

Generally, each session will have a similar flow, and the first three will look like this:

Session 1: Greetings, review the new client questionnaire together, discuss issues, and set intentions.

Session 2: Greetings, discuss previous intentions and any new thought patterns that have arisen, and set follow-up intentions.

Session 3: Greetings, discuss previous intentions and overall outcomes of sessions, and decide if further coaching is needed.

My professional motto is "do no harm," something I learned many years ago in medical school. If at any point it becomes clear that bringing in a therapist, psychologist, or psychiatrist is appropriate, we will address that together.

What do I need to do to prepare?

Knowing what past and present issues have hindered your ideal relationship is very helpful when we meet, as it allows us to work much more quickly toward your goals. Everything you share is 100% confidential. Please fill out the Coaching Questionnaire at least 72 hours before your initial appointment and email me with any concerns. You will also need to complete and sign the contract below and return it to me at lovecoachmara@gmail.com. If you have any questions about the process, please don't hesitate to contact me.

I look forward to working together. Whether you are single by choice, looking to date, or already in a relationship, we will work together to strengthen the Essential 5 Elements necessary for strong, happy, and fulfilling connections.
