Thank you for connecting with me through
Life on the Swingset!
The energy I feel collaborating with the Life on the Swingset crew is electric. I absolutely love their commitment to talk about a wide array of difficult topics that revolve around relationships and sex. Their willingness to be authentic and vulnerable to discuss what sometimes is a challenging journey navigating non-monogamy is inspiring.
I'm excited that this partnership has allowed us to bring open and honest
conversations to all of you.
All of my current offerings are listed below with links for additional details. You can read more about my coaching business here.

Note that the webinars below are divided by consensual non-monogamy (CNM) focused and helpful topics for all types of relationships (yes, you can share
these with your vanilla friends).
Navigating Rejection
CNM-Focused
We focused on understanding what happens in our brains when we are rejected and why it is so painful. We will explore ways to manage the parts of our brains that are activated in order to decrease the pain, learn from the experience, and become more resilient in the face of rejection.
Hall Passes 101
CNM-Focused
Have you and your partner considered experimenting with Hall Passes? Have you tried them already, but wonder if you’re doing them “right”? This webinar will look at the components of crafting a Hall Pass for maximum success by defining what success looks like for you, and what you need to consider before, during and after the experience in order for the experience to deepen your connection.
Stories and Assumptions
Helpful for All Types of Relationships
Are you guilty of letting the stories and assumptions in your head get in the way of your relationships? This workshop will help you understand why we create stories and assumptions and will give you five specific tools to break the habit. You'll be amazed by how much more you are able to connect with others when you implement these tools and stay out of your own way!
What to Do When You Just KNOW Your Partner is Wrong
Helpful for All Types of Relationships
We've all been there... our partner's feelings are hurt by something we did or said, but that wasn't our intention. They got our meaning all wrong! So we jump into correcting them because we don't want them to hurt anymore. Then the fight gets worse and we are confused - we were just trying to help and clear up the misunderstanding! This webinar will focus on explaining why the fight may get worse and what we can do instead to ease our partner's pain and explain our true meaning.
Goodbye Golden Rule
Helpful for All Types of Relationships
We all grew up with the Golden Rule - treat others how you want to be treated. It works well to keep society running smoothly with kindness. However, it can be a disaster when applied to close relationships. This webinar will explain why with examples from many types of relationships, and offer a new rule to deepen our connections. Move over Golden, the Platinum rule is here!
Musical Chairs
Helpful for All Types of Relationships
Using the classic Gestalt chair technique can be helpful to access, understand, and integrate your competing inner characters. I will be explaining and personifying these different characters and their motivations and typical actions. This is powerful work for couples because as we understand our own characters and our partner’s characters, we can better communicate our needs and deepen our connection. We can also understand how our inner competing parts get in the way of our desire to deeply connect.
