Do you and your partner miss that old feeling of excitement and passion that has faded into complacency and predictability?
Struggling with different libidos, relating to sex like it’s a chore, and feeling rejection and resentment are just some of the challenges couples in long-term relationships face. When intimacy gets stagnant it can be hard to find ways to reconnect sexually that feel genuine and pleasurable.
Rather than giving you a momentary boost of passion, renowned intimacy coaches and educators Dr. Aly and her husband Sebastian will provide you all the tools you need to create a sustainable and personalized path to lasting intimacy for the long run.
This safe and supportive environment will allow you to unearth the specific challenges and beliefs that have hindered your intimacy and learn tailor-made strategies to overcome them. Through carefully curated activities, exercises, and discussions, you’ll be guided on a sensual journey to reignite desire, explore new pleasures, and rejuvenate your romantic connection.
In this experiential course, you will:
Uncover the various libido blockers that get in the way of your turn on, pleasure, and intimacy and receive the tools and skills that will help you overcome them together.
Learn how to get out of the anxious-avoidant dynamic, cohabitator-coparent roles, and the pressure-rejection cycle and effectively explore feelings, needs, and desires.
Explore how to make tailor-made verbal, physical, and romantic bids for intimacy that will allow you to successfully woo your partner.
Discover how to create fun and exciting intimacy dates with a menu of ways to connect authentically and without pressure by attuning to the rightness of the moment.
Acquire an array of practices that will support you to rediscover your desire and increase your capacity for giving and receiving pleasure.
Receive a customizable roadmap with the 35 page Sustainable Intimacy booklet
Identify your specific intimacy blockers including pressure, insecurities, shame, conflict, stress as well as the skills needed to overcome them.
Engage in self-reflection exercises designed to foster a deeper understanding of your desires, needs, and fears.
Use the informational handouts to easily refer back to and remember the concepts, activities, and tools shared.
Select and record the specific practices and techniques that will empower you to continue to nurture your intimacy.
Reviews
"My partner and I have been so caught up in parenting, work and life that we had started to feel more like coworkers than in a relationship. We left the workshop feeling more connected both emotionally and sexually and also so much clearer about what caused us to fall into that rut and how to avoid it moving forward. We wholeheartedly recommend this course!" - S. M.
"We have tried so many things that haven’t worked and I can honestly say this was the profound reset for our relationship that I had started to question if it was even possible. I am so grateful to Dr. Aly and Seb for their assistance, humor, and thoughtfulness in the ways they made the material so accessible and applicable." - C. T.
"This workshop gave us the traction we’ve been hungry for in a way that feels authentic, accessible and real. We know what we need to work on and what each of us can do to show up more fully for the other. We already feel so much closer and are excited to continue to put this into action so we can maintain our intimacy." J. J.
