Learn How to Stay Connected Even In The Midst Of Conflict

Fluid Intimacy Foundations™ is a guided 8-week journey revealing and transforming the hidden patterns keeping you stuck in cycles of distance and resentment.

This program teaches the essential skills for sustainable self-awareness & connection in partnership.

Why Fluid Intimacy™ Is Different

Most approaches to relationship struggles focus on what you say - communication skills, insights, or strategies you’re meant to remember later. These can be helpful, but they often fall apart in the moments that matter most: when emotions rise, defenses come online, and old patterns take over.

Fluid Intimacy Foundations™ works at a different level.

Instead of trying to fix surface problems, this program helps you recognize what’s actually happening in your body and nervous system as conflict begins - the unconscious beliefs, protective strategies, and survival responses that quietly shape how you relate.

From there, you learn how to stay present inside those moments so you’re no longer reacting on autopilot, but responding with awareness and choice.

This isn’t about being perfect or getting it right. It’s about building the capacity to notice your patterns, interrupt them earlier, and return to connection with more safety, clarity, and integrity.

Insight alone doesn't transform relationships.
Real transformation happens when you're able to choose your response, especially under stress.

A New Method for Resolving Conflict

In Real Time

A New Method for Resolving Conflict In Real Time

Foundations is built around a small number of core principles that help you understand what’s happening beneath conflict - and how to respond differently when it matters most. Without conventional therapy, endless dialogue or hard to remember scripts.

How This System Works

Fluid Intimacy™ builds the relational capacities most people were never taught - Awareness, Attunement, and Alignment, so connection becomes stable, choice replaces reactivity, and coherence feels natural.

You gain the freedom to be fully yourself in your relationship without losing connection to who you are.

Who This Is For

This program is for you if:

  • You’re a couple caught in cycles of conflict, blame, or disconnection

  • You’re an individual who wants to understand your patterns before entering or repairing a relationship

  • Your partner isn’t open to couple’s therapy, or it hasn’t worked in the past.

  • You’ve tried tips, books, or therapy, but the same issues keep resurfacing

  • You long for intimacy that feels safe, steady, and alive

  • You want a guided, compassionate structure to make lasting change

The 8-Week Foundations Journey

A guided progression designed to build awareness, attunement and alignment - without fixing you, fixing your partner, or forcing outcomes.

Module One - Awareness: The Relational Self

Awareness Is a Relationship, Not a Skill

Discover awareness as a living relationship with yourself where intimacy begins by learning to sense, recognize, and stay present with your inner reality as it actually is.

Module Two - The Partnership Paradox™

I Want It to Be You… But It's Me

Explore why the longing for connection so often collapses into disappointment or blame. Learn how staying present with what we once tried to avoid becomes the gateway to mature intimacy.

Module Three - The Unbearable™

What Was Once Too Much to Feel

Uncover how early, preverbal wounds shape your nervous system and current relationships, and learn to recognize when the past is quietly driving present-day conflict.

Module Four - The Adultified Child

Remembering the Self Who Can Stay

Differentiate the adaptive child from the adult self, and begin reclaiming a grounded inner witness capable of staying present without collapsing, performing, or disappearing.

Module Five - Adaptive Strategies & Attachment

Honoring What Saved You

Understand your relational strategies not as flaws, but as intelligent adaptations revealing how attachment patterns formed to protect you from what once felt unbearable.

Module Six - Attunement & Accountability

Seeing Yourself in Relationship

Develop the capacity to see how your inner world and protective patterns have shaped your relationships and laid the emotional groundwork for repair through recognition, humility, and presence.

Module Seven - Toward Alignment

From Blame to Belonging

Begin integrating embodiment, empathy, and expression as living processes, learning how alignment emerges through self-contact rather than self-correction.

Module Eight - Beginning Again

The First Movements of Responsibility and Repair

Close the Foundations journey by embracing 100% responsibility as a practice of connection, commitment, and choice, opening the door to repair by first returning to yourself.

How You'll Be Supported Along the Way

This isn’t a self-paced course where you’re left to navigate it on your own. Foundations is a professionally guided, relational container with multiple layers of support.

Live Guidance & Integration

  • Live onboarding call to help you orient and begin

  • Live Q&A / check-in calls throughout the program

  • A final integration & anchoring session to consolidate your learning

You’re personally supported each step of the way

Weekly Structure & Practices

  • Weekly video teachings with guided integration

  • Weekly relationship practices, exercises, and reflection prompts

  • A clear framework you can return to whenever disconnection arises

  • A step-by-step repair process for both acute and ongoing ruptures

You’re given steady principles to lean on when things feel messy.

What Couples Are Saying. . .

Why Now

Patterns don’t stay neutral. What goes unexamined quietly strengthens - and over time, distance becomes the norm rather than the exception.

Waiting doesn’t make things clearer. It usually just makes them more familiar.

Real change often begins with one person choosing to relate differently - to pause, to notice, to take responsibility for their inner world rather than waiting for circumstances or partners to shift.

Foundations is available for a limited time only.

This work is about interrupting momentum. Beginning now means creating leverage while awareness is present, and getting the live ‘in person” support right now - rather than after distance has become normal.

You don’t need certainty. You need a willingness to stop repeating what already isn’t working.

You don't have to

Keep Repeating

the Same Cycles

You don’t have to settle for surface connection, constant repair, or carrying the weight of the relationship alone. Patterns can change - not through willpower or more effort, but through learning how to meet these moments of conflict with flow and ease - without avoidance or arguments.

Fluid Intimacy Foundations™ offers a structured, supported way to navigate those cycles and build a relationship that can hold difference, stress and closeness without losing connection - starting with how you relate to yourself inside those moments.

This is where self-connection replaces confusion, and intimacy becomes something you can learn to love again.

Begin Your Fluid Intimacy™ Foundations journey and interrupt the cycles that no longer serve your relationship.
