Owen Marcus and I invite you to explore a pioneering approach to emotional and relationship healing that seamlessly integrates Emotional Focus Therapy (EFT) with the science of Attachment Theory and Stress-Trauma research. Our method emphasizes the interconnectedness of emotional experiences and physical well-being, offering a holistic path to deeper connection and understanding in personal relationships. At the core of our practice, we recognize the power of secure attachment and emotional bonding as fundamental to transforming and enhancing a couple’s relationship.
Delve into our uniquely designed Couples Intensives and the transformative Hold Me Tight® (HMT) Workshops or our Hold Me Tight® Costa Rica Retreat. These offerings are meticulously crafted to foster intimacy, resilience, and lasting emotional bonds between partners. By participating in these sessions, couples can experience profound shifts in their relationships through guided, emotionally-focused engagements that are supported by physiological awareness skills. We encourage you to explore these opportunities further on this website to discover how our integrated therapeutic approach can significantly enhance your relational and emotional landscape. Join us to navigate the journey of connection that not only heals but also deeply enriches your life and partnerships.
