Designed to offer you essential skills and information to strengthen your relationship
as you grow your family.
This course is for couples who are:
- Thinking about
starting a family
- Parenting an infant/toddler (0-3)
Why is this important?
Research shows that 67% of couples experience a significant drop in the quality of their relationship during the first three years of their baby’s life.
A healthy relationship with your partner is one of the most important foundations of your baby’s social and emotional development.
My goal is to support you to maintain or increase your relationship satisfaction while also embarking on this unique life transition.
What will you learn?
Information, exercises + activities to help you:
