Deepen your Emotional Intimacy
A Private Five-Session Journey for Couples
Accessible online from anywhere, or in-person in Toronto
Most challenges in relationships are rooted in self-protection.
When we’ve been hurt in our lives, we develop protective patterns that keep us from revealing our real feelings: tenderness, fear, hurt, anger, longing.
This 5-session guided journey will help you and your partner move beneath those patterns and reconnect with the vulnerable, authentic self that real intimacy depends on.
Through somatic body-based practices, you’ll learn how to connect with your feelings, soften defensiveness, and meet each other with more honesty.
Each of you will develop the inner skills that make intimacy sustainable—while together you build the shared capacity to hold more feelings, more trust, more empathy and ultimately, more intimacy.
These Sessions are Well Suited for Couples who want to:
- Take more responsibility for what they bring to a relationship
- Learn more about who their partner is and what makes them tick
- Experience more empathy and understanding
- Strengthen trust, connection, and presence
- Grow together intentionally
You do not need to be in conflict to benefit. You simply need to be open to exploring each other more deeply.
We honor diversity, and support all couples regardless of their sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, and monogamous or non-monogamous status.
You and your partner will learn to:
This work moves at the pace of safety, choice, curiosity and
consent.
As longtime friends and professional colleagues (we’re not a couple), Beth and Dov enjoy working together with couples.
We find that having two facilitators strengthens the container — creating more spaciousness so no one feels alone, and each partner feels held and understood.

Why These Sessions Are Offered at a Reduced Rate:
This 5-session journey was created as part of our post-graduate research for advanced certification in Core Energetics.
With the support of an experienced supervisor, we’re exploring how a structured sequence of body-based practices can help couples deepen emotional intimacy.
Our findings will be shared with faculty at the Montreal Institute of Core Energetics. (Please note that your privacy matters to us and any identifying details will be removed from our report.)
To support this research, couples will complete brief before and after questionnaires.
And because this work is in the development stage, as part of our advanced training, we’re offering these sessions at a reduced rate while we pilot the program. It’s an opportunity to receive dedicated support from two practitioners, at a discount from our usual fee of $250/session.
What Clients are saying:
About the impact of the work:
“Beth and Dov were holding us. It was an amazing relief for me. I witnessed some openings in my partner I have longed to see for years.” T.D.
“Being able to witness each other in a state of vulnerability with compassion reinforced our love for each other as humans.” K.F.
“There is much more truth in our relationship, and even if we don’t know whether we will continue together, at least we are being real.” J.D.
"I have a deeper understanding of and appreciation for my partner's internal world. I also more greatly appreciate the benefit of slowing down when it comes to feeling, naming, expressing my emotions. “ K.F.
“[Before] it felt really hard for him to actually just see me and not try to fix me or get annoyed in my upset. With the tools you gave us, and the impact it had on him being in the container, and seeing the importance of doing that for me, he was able to make changes to implement it right away.” K.W.
“I'm more aware of how when I turn my attention towards my partner that I need to stay with myself. It is different in that I am softer and my vulnerability is my own.” T.D
“It has contributed greatly to feeling more centred and grounded within myself within this relationship.” M.O.
“Through my partner's vulnerability, I have clarity on her wanting and the shame that she had been holding, fearing the truth of her wanting would be rejected by me. Additionally, through my vulnerability, I feel more seen… I think it helped us both feel less alone, and actually reinforced the compassion we have for one another.” K.F.
“We know there is a safe place we can go to be supported in our struggles.” Y.G.
“I feel more ease in saying I’d like to slow this down
and stay with the uneasy feelings that are happening right now.” P.D.

insightful, caring and attuned to what is going in the couple’s dynamic. I felt

Frequently asked questions:
Do we need to be “in crisis” to benefit?
Not at all. Most couples who come to this work are not in
acute crisis — they’re longing for more honesty, connection, or emotional
intimacy. This process is designed to deepen your bond, not fix something
“broken.”
We’re a
queer couple / polyamorous / non-monogamous. Is this work for us?
Yes. We welcome couples of all identities, orientations, and relationship structures. What matters most is your commitment to showing up honestly with each other.
Do we need prior experience with somatic work or therapy?
No. We’ll guide you through everything step by step. All you need is a willingness to feel, listen, and stay curious about yourself and your partner.
What do you mean by "somatic" or "body-based" work?
Emotions live in your muscles, breath, posture, and nervous system — not just in your thoughts. Through gentle movement, breath, grounding, and guided awareness, we help you sense what’s happening inside and express the feelings beneath your protective habits. It’s not physical exercise or massage — it’s a safe way to access deeper truth and connection.
What if one of us is more open to this work than the other?
That’s very common. You don’t need to be in the same emotional place — only willing to explore together. We work gently, at a pace that feels safe for both of you.
What if we're dealing with something really painful?
This work can support couples who are navigating hurt, disconnection, or long-standing patterns. However, if there is active abuse, untreated addiction, or a situation requiring urgent intervention, this series is not the right fit.
Is this the same as traditional couples therapy?
Not exactly. Traditional behavioural approaches often aim to reduce conflict by teaching new communication skills. Our embodied approach sees conflict differently. When couples are supported to express conflict more directly and safely, the vulnerable feelings underneath can finally be seen and known. Conflict isn’t the enemy — it’s the lifeblood of intimacy. As more honesty emerges, the conflict naturally shifts.
