The whole Authentic Way path was developed to support you in fully stepping into your Authentic Power™ and transforming your business and life. First steps and baby steps will start you on the process and provide lots of insight and personal change, but it requires diving into the process to fully step into your power, attract your ideal partner or take your current relationship to the next level. These are the steps I hope all of my connections eventually move into:

Beginning group coaching: Within an empowering group you discover and practice the foundation of The Authentic Way path for relationships. I offer beginning groups for individuals looking to attract their ideal partner and transform their past relationship patterns. Some of the topics we cover include the following:

• Learning to understand your authentic self and step fully into your power
• Knowing your value and honoring it
• The steps to manifesting your ideal partner
• The patterns that have attracted your partners in the past and the steps to transforming those patterns
• Navigating the blocks that have sabotaged other relationships or kept you from attracting ideal partners
• Learning to create personal boundaries and honor the boundaries of others
• The keys to creating long-term, sustainable relationships
• How to stop giving your power away and the tools to taking back your power
• Navigating vulnerability, learning to discern when to open and when to protect yourself.
• The initial steps to attracting your ideal target market

This is done through a 4-month commitment, meeting twice a month as a group for 2 hours each time. There is also support within a client-only forum group, email support, a one-on-one sessions within that time period and discounted additional one-on-one sessions. There is a max of 8 clients for this group so we can stay intimate and connected.

One-on-one session programs for individuals: This is obviously the best way to follow the path and allows us an amazing amount of time dedicated to your unique business and journey. You have an option between a concentrated 3-month commitment (weekly sessions) or a 6-month commitment (meeting every two weeks) Within the 12 sessions for either a 3 or 6-month commitment there are two paths:

For those looking to attract a conscious partner…we spend the 12 sessions going through The Authentic Way step-by-step approach to stepping into your power. This is an amazing process that will transform you and allow you to receive an aligned and conscious intimate partner to build a sustainable and long-term partnership with. We will cover all of the topics from the beginning coaching group, while really delving into the saboteurs and blocks that have stopped your from receiving the right intimate relationship. For more information on this path, see below to “How the relationship path attracts a long-term and sustainable partnership”.

For those already in partnership, but wanting individual work…we spend the 12 sessions working on stepping into your power while in your current relationship. We provide tools and techniques for navigating the issues in your current relationship and transforming it to become more powerful and sustainable to your happiness and well being. You will be surprised at how most issues can be taken care of within your own heart and mind and don’t require your partner. Once you have build a stronger foundation within yourself, we look at how to handle boundaries and create clear agreements with your partner. If you are having doubts about your current relationship, this program will provide you with clear direction on which road to take. For more information on this path, see below to “How the relationship path attracts a long-term and sustainable partnership”.

One-on-one session programs for couples: For couples, this program is designed to completely transform your current relationship. We work both in couple sessions and individual sessions to get to the heart of the challenges and struggles within your partnership. You have an option between a 3-month commitment (weekly sessions) or a 6-month commitment (weekly sessions) For more information on this path, see below to “How the relationship path attracts a long-term and sustainable partnership”.

Whether you are seeking your ideal intimate partner or wanting to transform your current partnership, you probably know the challenges that dating and a relationship can bring. The beauty of relationships is that they offer a rich opportunity for growth and transformation, the challenge is that they bring up our unconscious patterns, hidden wounds and insecurities.

When we lack the tools and understanding to navigate the unconscious patterns, we tend to often hit a stalemate in our relationships. The more we exist in this stalemate, the farther apart we grow as a couple and the less sustainable our partnership gets. Sometimes the issue might be that we are with the wrong partner, but many times it is that we lack the communication skills and empowerment to bypass the hardships and see the beauty and gifts in our partnership right now.

I designed The Authentic Way system to build success in intimate partnerships that can be sustained for the long-term, whether by attracting the ideal partner and learning the skills to navigate the relationship, or by working with the current relationship to make it stronger, more alive and more in tune with what we want for our lives. I believe there is a power in building a sustainable relationship. It offers deeper and deeper ways to find intimacy, explore ourselves and grow. My intention is to give my clients to tools to create this for themselves and continually utilize their experiences over the years to come.

There is lots of relationship advice out there, both deep and surface. My system is a step-by-step approach to creating a lasting partnership. You handle your own internal foundation, building confidence, security and power, while learning to make agreements with intimate partner that will lead to compassion, understanding and success.

I define Sustainable Success as each individual’s innate sense of success and their ability to sustain it regardless of circumstances. In a relationship, this will be defined in terms of what you want to experience inside of yourself and within the relationship. It is entirely individual, and each client will define success in his or her own way. That being said, there is a similar feeling you have when you begin to explore what success in a relationship means to you; it brings space and energy, motivation and passion to the forefront of your life. It is the place you feel most fulfilled, aligned, and in your beautiful, divine and authentic power while in the relationship.

A few ways you might define sustainable success in a partnership:
• Long-term fulfillment
• Passion and intimacy that grows each day
• Peace of mind and true peace within yourself
• The ability to create and manifest over and over again what you want within the relationship
• Confidence and certainty both within yourself and within the relationship
• Ability to truly navigate your relationship ups and downs
• Discernment and the knowing to make the “right” decisions for YOU while serving the best interests of your partner
• Honoring yourself and your partner at all times
• Integrity with self: being able to step into your power, create good boundaries, communicate your needs and stand up for what you believe in with confidence and clarity

Sustainable Success doesn’t mean that you won’t experience challenge, disappointment or struggle, because these are inevitable on our journey in life. What it does mean, is that you know how to sustain your joy, fulfillment and motivation in the midst of the struggle. You know how to navigate your saboteurs and overcome your blocks. Most importantly, you know how to follow your intuition and use your discernment to avoid much of the struggle and disappointment in the first place.

In this process, you will come to define your unique definition of success for you and for your relationship. It is a personal journey, and we work to separate the definitions of success you have adopted through others (what you have seen a “good” relationship), from your innate definition of success felt within your self. Once we define what you want to see in your relationship, then we set out to create it, whether that is in attracting your partner or transforming your current relationship. We work to build a practice and path that will manifest your definition of success over and over again.

So we start the journey with building a solid internal foundation. This means creating the strength, courage, motivation and skills internally, before you try to navigate the outside world of relationships. As you become aware of the Authentic Self, you gain permanent access to the part of you that holds all your innate intuition, power and strength. This is a unique and key piece to The Authentic Way process, because without being able to tap into this power and stand solidly in it, you will never create sustainability in a relationship or anywhere else. There is many key components we cover in this area: your true gifts, inspiration, motivation, purpose, passion and all of the key aspects that make up your highest self.

Once you have a feel for your Authentic Self, you practice living in it. I will support you in using your innate power to discern your direction, make aligned decisions and manifest exactly what you want from in an ideal partnership and life. We all have felt the moments that we are standing in our power, but so often we are easily pulled off course by not creating appropriate boundaries, miscommunication or circumstances we feel our outside of our control. Through this process, we deal with the patterns and saboteurs that usually take you down and learn to navigate these issues easily.

We spend a good amount of time on both learning to stay in your authentic power and taking back your power. So often, the reason that we can’t attract a lasting and long-term relationship, is because so much of our power and self is still stuck in all of our previous relationships. In this process, we clear out the old and bring back parts of ourselves by owning our contribution to those experiences. As soon as we stop the blame and any feelings of victimhood, we gain back our power and become more whole. This is a powerful process and from that space you are able to more easily manifest your ideal partnership. We also work on value issues and establishing clear boundaries, these are two of the main reasons people attract the “wrong” partners instead of the right one for them.

Once you have handled the realm of self, we begin to address how to operate in the world of others. You will learn how to have better discernment in the dating world and within your relationships, and how to continue to stand strong in your power before, during and after you attract your ideal partner. You will learn how to create clear agreements and boundaries with the people you are engaging with, so that you can end all feelings of control and powerlessness. We also go deeper into the steps of manifestation and I guide you in your practice and in getting out there!

This process is deep, enriching and if you are open, lots of fun! The bottom line: you will transform your experience of dating and attract the ideal partner you have longed for! I know from experience..interested? Read my story…click here.

If I am working with just one of you, we look at how to take back your power in the relationship and by working on yourself, you will find your relationship transforming. It does not require both partners to make changes, create a loving relationship or build sustainability. It will take agreement with your partner, and there may be times that we assess the viability of your relationship. If you are sitting on the fence with your current relationship, this is the process for you. Within the first few sessions, you will find significant clarity on which path will fulfill, sustain and honor your Authentic Self. There are also lots of surprises, often times things that seem like deal breakers will transform right before your eyes, and what you perceived prior to the session will disappear by the end. This is a powerful transformational process.

If both you and your partner are ready to transform your relationship, this path with be a more powerful journey. Having the ability to work with both partners, ensures you are on the same page, helps you truly understand each other and creates a more conscious partnership. Sometimes one partner is more hesitant about traveling the path, but after the Authentic Self session begins to really understand the power of this path. Both have to be committed to the journey to get the fully effect.

With couples, I split the sessions up so that we are working both as a team and individually on personal issues that need to be addressed. We start the path, looking at the Authentic Self. What do each of you need to thrive in the relationship? You will find that sometimes just by understanding that your “pet peeve” is actually a requirement for them to thrive, your relationship takes on a whole different flavor. You learn to navigate the relationship by each staying in your power by increasing your skills in communication and in setting appropriate boundaries.

We address the current challenges in the relationship, and get to the heart of the conflict. You life and partnership as you know it will completely transform as more and more of the real issues are brought to light. Most of the time our conflict and challenges have nothing to do with our current partner at all and when we begin to see this, we find more compassion, more understanding and an honoring of their Authentic Self.

You will gain skills throughout the process in working better with each other, as a team and in alignment towards your common goals. One of the most important factors we work with is understanding the difference between how you operate within the self (where you have full control) and how your operate with others (making clear agreements and boundaries). So much of our conflict is in one partner trying to control the other, or in us not setting appropriate boundaries and honoring ourselves.

You will walk away with the knowledge to carry your relationship deeper into agreement, joy and abundance. For those couples, looking to create a partnership that creates a ripple effect in the world, I take you through the deeper paths of The Authentic Way process. Through this path you will learn how to operate more deeply in the world as a team. You will learn to serve each other and the world in your greatest capacity. You will awake to your highest potential.

It is true that I can work with any relationship or individual seeking a relationship using this process, but there are situations that truly motivate me and get my creative juices flowing. Over the years, I have seen the situations and relationships I best serve and those that could be better served by others. If you don’t fit my criteria below, but feel really passionate about your relationship or situation, contact me via email anyway and we can see if there is alignment.

Those Committed to Creating a Life-long Partnership: This system works best with those that believe in commitment. It doesn’t mean that some of my best clients won’t have commitment issues, because that is inevitable in most of us. It does mean that their determination to find a long-lasting partnership will trump their commitment issues and will allow us to transform what is currently in the way. For those who aren’t sure if they want a long-lasting relationship, this process is probably not the best fit for you.

People interested in Self-Development: If you aren’t interested in developing yourself, this path will not attract your ideal partnership. The success of this path comes from the ability to develop a strong foundation in the self. You have to be willing to see what you are doing in your relationships or out of them to create your circumstances, and you have to be willing to give up blame and anger.

Emotionally Stable: This process will bring up intense emotions, but it also requires an ability to look at things from a neutral perspective. Those that have just recently ended a relationship and are still feeling emotionally unstable or those currently in a destructive relationship, are probably not at the best place to go through this process. It requires some stability to get to the heart of matters. Anyone feeling constantly down, crying often or just trying to live from day-to-day need to heal themselves first through other professional support before moving onto this path. I have lots of great people I work with who can support you in these areas, so please email me if you need this level of support. If you are currently seeing a therapist or some other kind of support, I prefer to align with them before you start this journey. I am here to support you in the safest and most honoring way I can.

You have Hope: We definitely work with discouragement, but if you have lost all hope of finding a good partner, there will not be much foundation to work with in this system. You have to believe that you can either find the right partner or transform your current relationship. With hope, anything can be created.

Financially Stable: We can’t do the deep work if you are struggling to survive. I know from experience that sustainability cannot be created from deep struggle, lack and survival mode. First and foremost, you have to create some stability, once you have that, sustainability is within your reach. We often work with the financial struggles couples go through, these are rich areas for learning and growth, but if you are barely surviving, this process and the investment it requires will take too much of a toll on your already challenging circumstances. You can try my 29-day e-coaching course on abundance to start turning your financial situation around and be ready to dive in the richness of this path for your relationship.

One of the keys to The Authentic Way™ path is the investment and commitment it requires. Working with me every week, or for some individuals every other week, for several months sets us on a course for integration and permanent change. I have chosen these terms of commitment, because I have seen them work and I am clear about what is required to receive the benefits I talk about in this path. You are required to invest time, money and your full self into this path. Success and fulfillment can come at no less of a cost. It is an enriching experience on all levels.

The financial investment in and of itself will produce much of the benefits and results you will experience along the journey. Let me explain some of this, because I think that cost and value is a very misunderstood concept and it is one that The Authentic Way path delves into deeply throughout the process.

I believe that underneath the rules and beliefs we have in society, there are universal laws of energy and physics. One of these I call the Universal Law of Equal Exchange. Everything in the universe must be balanced in one way or another. The premise of this particular energetic law is that you can only receive as much value as you equally exchange. This is a pretty rare concept in today’s world, when we are constantly seeking to get more than we give.

I have watched the effects of this law in relationships and in those looking to attract their ideal partnership. Value is one of the primary reasons we fail to attract the “right” partner or the reason we are so apt to give up our power in a relationship. Most of the time conflict and struggle result for a core value issue. If we go back to the Law of Equal exchange, and look at what happens when we cease to value ourselves (even unconsciously), we begin to realize that we can only attract to ourselves a partner that will equally value us or that has equal value in themselves. So people will either attract partners who have similar value issues or partners who devalue them. This is one of the reasons I prefer to work with a couple if possible, versus an individual already in partnership. Often times, if we can deal with the value issues in both partners, their value in each other dramatically increases. This can still happen if I am working with an individual, but sometimes the individual will realize there is no way to create an equal value exchange as they begin to step fully into their power and realize their greatest potential.

This is also true of business. If I were to ask you to pay a lower value than what I am worth, you would only receive the value I ask you to pay. You would devalue yourself or have a hard time fully stepping into your power, and ultimately you would not receive the full effect of this process. Unconsciously we will always balance the value.

I know that by asking my clients to invest in a good value service, it will produce more results for their relationships and set them up to receive all the gifts and benefits my services and path have to offer them.

I charge for my time to not only be present in the session with you, but to also spend the amount of time outside the session that I feel provides the kind of quality and care that each one of my clients deserves. My time and level of commitment will never go on the bargain rack.

When you are ready to invest and commit, you will open yourself up to a tremendous amount of value, abundance and gifts that the universe is just waiting to give you. Are you ready to say YES?

Being in a conscious partnership is about claiming full aliveness and awakening our full potential through the path of our relationship. It is about learning to stand in our innate and Authentic Power while honoring the power and gifts of our partner. It about experiencing richness, abundance and pleasure through the ins and outs of a day-to-day intimate relationship. A conscious partnership can take us through more growth than we have every known, because it deals with the most intimate parts of ourselves and it most closely resembles our primary archetypes we adopted with our parents and caretakers.

This is one of the reasons relationships can also be so challenging. They pull up in us the pieces of ourselves we have tried to hide, leave behind or disown and it requires us to face them. Walking with awareness through this journey is key, because it is so easy to project onto our partner what we refuse to see in ourselves. Most relationships end because of this; because of our unwillingness to take back our power and claim our responsibility in the relationship.

The reward of having a conscious partnership is beyond what you can imagine, not only within the self, but in the richness of your union. The power that is created between conscious partnerships creates a ripple effect in the family, in the community and in the greater world.

People often settle, or they give up too early. This can be the case when trying to attract their partner or when they start struggling in a viable relationship. There is so much to experience by going through the struggle and challenges and getting to the other side.

The Authentic Way™ is a unique system because it offers a step-by-step approach to standing in your power and gives you the tools to empower each other and build a long-lasting and sustainable partnership. This isn’t a path for those looking for a short-term fix, and it isn’t a path for those not ready to really do the work. It is a path for those ready to grow within a relationship and spend their life building a thriving, connected and conscious union.
