What people are saying!

"I can honestly say that my work with Kathleen has completely changed my perspective on relationships.  Kathleen’s caring and compassionate attitude, in addition to her extensive knowledge, restored my hope and gave me the courage to make the changes I needed to within my relationship.  It was Kathleen’s unwavering support and encouragement that allowed me to really grow and heal, a postive impact on my life.” JC

"Kathleen is a compassionate and non judgemental listener who held a safe space for me while I started to tackle some of my issues. She allowed me to sort through things in my own way and in my own time. Her support is something I am thankful for".  MF


 

Kathleen’s insight and training helped me with both with my personal goals and in my relationship.  Her approach is compassionate and enlightening.  I had been apprehensive about seeing a therapist, but I was instantly comfortable with her.  With Kathleen, I was put at ease, with the safe environment that she created.  I think anyone who wants to better understand how Imago principles apply to them, either as a single person seeking a relationship, or a person in a relationship, would benefit highly from seeing Kathleen.”  SK

"What Kathleen & Imago has given us is the ability to look at conflict as an opportunity to get to the core issues and help each other through our individual trials and tribulations in the interest of making our relationship a much better place to be. With Kathleen’s patient coaching, we learned and applied the Imago dialogue techniques, and gained much insight in the concept that neither of us really has to change to accommodate the other, we just have to work on understanding each other." JG 

"The weekend provided us with tools that we could use to assist us in communicating properly and effectively with one other during crisis moments and when we REALLY need to be heard by our spouse.  It also provided us with insight into how our past can creep into our present and hinder our future as a couple." LR, TR

"We are leaving this weekend with excellent communication skills and a renewed perspective of each other. Kathleen is great at what she does". SM, RM

"This weekend was an amazing transformation for both of us and truly cemented our relationship - bringing us closer after 25 years". JO

"The weekend provided us with a new outlook  on our relationship and the ability to see our wonderful potential as a couple. It gave us confidence in ourselves and each other when it comes to conflict, and some very accessible concrete tools to use for communication. The weekend also brought forth our deep bond and love that was always there." EF

"We feel so fortunate to have our relationship back on track after 16 years. The purpose of attending the weekend was to make sure that we both have the skills to keep it that way! Having those skills, we are very encouraged  and are now creating our "new" relationship with full and absolute intention and respect." KS   

"The weekend provided us the ability to identify what we need and express it, thus enhancing the quality of our connection." KA

"The weekend was very revealing. It opened up things from our pasts that still persists today, widening our awareness and understanding of each other and our ourselves. Looking forward to the Advanced Couples Workshop."  TM

"We are so grateful. This weekend and Kathleen has made such a difference in our relationship." JM

"We have benefitted a great deal from the openness and insights we gained from the weekend.  Since then, our occasional low spots have lasted a MUCH shorter period of time and come with less ferocity. Personally, I now understand that my hubby really does want me in his life and inside myself, I respect him and the ways he wants to be treated much more. SB 

"This program would be great for everyone and I never say things like this!" DB 

"I am so glad I came. I now feel more connected to my husband than I have for years!" KB

"My partner and I were not sure if we were compatible and were considering separating. We decided to take the workshop because we wanted to see if we could build a strong and healthy friendship.  Over the weekend, we recognized that our differences could be inspiring instead of threatening to one another. We learned that we have different ways in how we see the world.  Before IMAGO, we found it difficult to "bridge" over to see each other's point of view.  We just didn't "get" one another. Learning the process of dialogue was incredibly helpful to our relationship.  We now feel that we are both heard and understood.  We see that we are different and now relish our differences and have fun exploring each other's way of being in the world.  The excercises transformed our relationship, helping us validate each other and asking for what we want and need in a loving way. We are on our way to building a strong friendship and our feelings of despair have been replaced with hope that we can build the relationship of our dreams." TB
