Hey, it's me, Mika. How do I know you can transform what's possible for your relationship?
Because I came from some of the most insidiously destructive communication patterns there are.
I was aware I wasn't born into the Cleaver family. I knew I had been trained into my beliefs about relationships from people who knew very little about the kind of marriage I wanted.
I became obsessed with relationships and what makes them work.
For years I participated in my own therapy and coaching, I got degrees in psychology and marriage and family counseling, I've researched, I've scoured spiritual and relational texts, worked my way through A Course in Miracles, attended multiple professional conferences…..
I’m SO PASSIONATE about this stuff because I turned it around…BIG TIME.
The compliments I take the most seriously are the ones I receive from my husband…because all I ever wanted was a happy and functioning family.
2 years ago he said to me, “Thank you.” We had just sat down to a not-so-spectacular dinner. I had spent this day of my maternity leave with a 5-year-old, a 3-year-old and a nursing baby. I'm willing to bet I had bodily fluids on my clothes that weren't mine. I looked at my plate confused and thought, "He can't be thanking me for this dinner." I said, “For what?!”
He replied, “For helping me be the person I've always wanted to be.”
My eyes welled with tears. This stuck with me. FOR. DAYS. I get thank you notes and testimonials from clients frequently, but this…THIS was it.
I had been so busy working on MY part in our relationship I hadn't realized the impact it had on him. He said he couldn't think of anyone’s marriage he’d rather have. I agreed.
And now you get to reap the benefits of my total obsession.
The best of what I've come across over the last 18 years I’m putting together into this life-changing program.
Cheers to you, and all I know is possible for your relationship. *Cue the Kumbaya....just kidding ;-)

What's Included?
Great 8 Communication Skills: Have a partner that shuts-down or blows-up at the first inkling there might be a disagreement? You'll get access to 8 of the most relationship-changing communication skills with real life examples. Practicing just ONE of these skills in your relationship has been shown to significantly increase relationship satisfaction. Nuf said.
Interaction Clarity Tool: Here’s the real deal. You could learn EVERY communication skill under the sun, know them forwards and backwards, semantically say every single word correctly and in the exact order you’re supposed to, but if your intent is ‘off’ it has the power to ruin the most perfectly worded communication, cause irritation, anger and defensiveness in the listener and send your interaction straight down the drain. It's what has driven me the most crazy in my close relationships. INTENT is a POWERFUL thing.
Not fully understanding and being able to communicate about different intents is at the core of every argument you have. This one tool will give you really clear ways to break down the most complicated of conflicts into 4 different categories. Ever have NO CLUE why you're getting the reactions you're getting in your closest relationships? Once you learn to identify the intents involved in an interaction the reasons for pain, fear, anger, or hurt feelings becomes clear...and so do your next best steps. Eliminate feeling like you can't win with this one tool.
Conflict Map: Ever feel like you need a map to get out of conflict? Well now you'll have one. This map took so much brain-power to make it hurt. There are ways to move through conflict that in the short-run will feel better, but in the long-run will mean more conflict. When you're avoiding, shutting down, or sweeping your own wants and needs under the rug to keep from fighting your chances for conflict in the future increase. The longer these practices are in place, the more is under your relationship rug. Use this map to thoroughly resolve issues for good.
Support and Accountability: For 3 weeks we'll have weekly meetings for you to get questions answered and on-the-spot coaching. You'll also have access to our TOP-SECRET Facebook group where support and accountability is ongoing.
What we won't do.
-Hold hands and sing Kumbaya, group therapy or mandated sharing. While I do hope the group lends itself to feeling comfortable in sharing some of your relationship struggles, you are free to share as much or as little as you'd like. The workshop is meant to be informational and educational. While results can be therapeutic, this will be based on your engagement and involvement in the class and your commitment level to change once the course is over.
-Get kinky. I'll be educating on the ins and outs of sex drive and how men and women are ridiculously different. We will not be covering mechanics or drawing diagrams of the woman's reproductive system. Sorry to disappoint.
Yippee! What happy participants are saying.
"I'm raving to all my friends about it!"
Before the 3rd class, "Can't wait! There has already been THOUSANDS of dollars worth of therapy in this class."
"SO much great information."
"I'm catching myself and pausing before I say things and trying to do it in a new way."
"It's like you're in my head!"
"I NEVER thought about it [men's sex drive] that way."
"We don't feel so alone."
"When's Love Sex Kids #2 coming out? Seriously, let us know! We want more!"
