For Lesbians
You love women. Perhaps you have children.
Some people don't approve. Homophobia runs rampant. Where do you go when you need relationship support?
"Good families come in
all sizes, from all backgrounds, and have every possible combination of
responsible adults and nurtured children. Good families all have stormy
times and crises. Good families all need help and support."
~ Patty
Wipfler
I understand the concerns of lesbian and bisexual women. I know first-hand about the issues and needs of alternative families and unconventional relationships. I am well aware of the negative impact of judgment, misinformation and lack of cultural support on our families and relationships. I am familiar with lesbian partners unable to marry, families torn apart by separation or death with no legal access to their children. I understand the painful suppression of sexual expression in lesbian relationships. And, I am well aware that lesbian relationships suffer from lack of support and the same general lack of relationship training that most relationships do.
I am very familiar and I do understand. I was in a prosperous empowering 18-year relationship with a woman myself. We happily share custody of our two children. My husband and I, she and our kids celebrate holidays, birthdays and attend school events together. We have a large chosen extended family. Our kids are proud to have several parents and adults who deeply love them.
Add to my personal experience the fact that I have coached hundreds and hundreds of single and coupled lesbians and bisexual women to create great relationships. To this day, lesbian couples celebrating many years together attribute their happiness and success to what I taught them in LoveWorks' relationship trainings.
Don't Happen by Accident!
It's the same pattern, relationship after relationship. You fall in love and everything is wonderful for awhile. And then you don't know what happens. You find yourself not spending time together like you used to. You're busy. You quit really talking to each other. You quit making love. You get bored. You fight. You fight some more. The honeymoon is over.
It's natural to feel despair as you helplessly watch relationships disintegrate over and over again. You feel hopeless, but it doesn't have to be this way. There is something you can do.
I know what it takes to create great relationships. I know how to empower you to have what you want. Allow me to coach and train you, and you will master new ways of thinking and being that will allow you to have passionate, loving, fun and mutually empowering relationships that last.
LoveWorks' experiential workshops, programs and individualized sessions are designed to actively support you, whether single or coupled, to discover a whole new way of relating.
Tell the truth. You want more.
We all want more. More something. More vitality, more intimacy, more passion, more satisfaction, more fun - you name it. It is in our nature to want.
Without realizing it, however, we end up creating more of what we don’t want in our lives and relationships. The harder we try to shift things and the more we work to make new things happen, the worse things get.
I can show you how to quit creating what you don’t want in your relationships, just as I have hundreds of other lesbians and bisexual women. I am the founder of LoveWorks, a relationship training company that masterfully weaves together Law of Attraction principles, heart-centered practices and cutting edge personal development strategies to help you transform unwanted relationship habits and patterns into creative opportunities for growth and expansion.
I have over 30 years experience working with individuals and couples to help propel you towards creating what you most want in your relationships. Learn to use problems and breakdowns as steppingstones towards realizing your dreams. Discover how to increase passion and intimacy. Learn to live inspirational lives and relationships that are a reflection of your greatest self.

For Couples
Relationship
is the only area in our lives where we expect instant results with no
training or support. We repeat patterns that don't work and pass them
on to our kids. No wonder we are not happy, are stuck in ruts, have no sex, fight a lot, and are going along feeling distant and dissatisfied day after day.
Where did the love go? What happened to the days when we looked in each other's eyes and saw each other's soul? Why do we not talk to each other anymore in a way that is enlivening and intimate? How come we don't make sweet passionate love anymore?
Because you are lost in habits and patterns that prevent you from creating a harmonious, inspiring, close relationship.
The good news?
You can learn a new way to be.
With coaching support and healthy relationship practices, you can learn new ways to be that will revitalize your relationship and restore love, harmony and excitement.

Weekend Intensive Retreats
Many couples have said to us, "I wish you could follow me around for a month and help me reinforce this learning!" Well, now we can. Maybe not for a month, but for a weekend or two...
Imagine receiving coaching, guidance and support throughout a two and a half day period with your partner while basking in the sun, enjoying a hot tub, swimming pool, hammock, master bedroom with fireplace and private bath, and deliciously organic home-made meals out in the quiet country. Can you imagine a more relaxing, supportive environment for revitalizing your relationship?
An hour a week is good, but a concentrated weekend to focus attention on you and your relationship can speed up the transformation process immensely. Your personal in-house coaches will not only "dine" you, but offer consistent loving support and guidance throughout your retreat. Through one on one sessions, as well as focused couples work, you will have opportunities to do deep transformational work that might otherwise take years. The consistent reinforcement of new relationship practices as you work through long-standing issues, will allow you to maximize your learning in order to make the biggest difference possible in your relationship.
