Relationship Tune Up
Pilot Program
Most couples were never taught how to navigate conflict, attachment, communication and repair. This 6 week program is designed to help couples understand their patterns earlier - before resentment and disconnection become entrenched.

This program combines relationship education, guided reflection and practical relationship skills.
