About Us
Throughout my life, I’ve met and known many couples who have forgotten how to have fun, and distractions & the busyness of life slowly took over the things that truly mattered to them. I believe the biggest cause for drifting relationships is the lack of communication. I wholeheartedly believe that if couples made this a priority, became intentional about it, and had the right tools to help them communicate effectively, issues in marriage and relationships would diminish.
I want to facilitate a space for you to start communicating well with your partner, to start understanding yourselves, your partner and your relationship better. I will help you keep your relationship fresh and growing amidst the busyness of life & conflicts you’ll inevitably come across.
Everyone is made to love. I want to uncover that for those who feel lost. Let’s help prevent your relationship from getting to those places.
About Sophie + Chris
I’ve been married to my partner and best friend for 6 years and we love everything about our relationship. Having fun has always been an integral part of our marriage & lives. What’s life without laughter and playfulness, am I right? We’ve always been able to be completely ourselves around each other (vulnerable, silly, weird.. you name it). Liking your partner is as important as loving them.
During our first couple years of marriage, we learned the hard way how to better balance our lives. We were working what felt like endless hours growing our new business. We would tell ourselves that we should work until we felt like we did enough, which as business owners, "enough" never felt like enough. We quickly learned the importance of boundaries and being intentional with taking time to actually be together. Being together in a work environment doesn’t equal the same quality time!
We’ve also realized how critical it is for us to communicate - to bring things up when things feel off - to talk with each other, not at each other. The problem makes you think that you’re against each other, when the truth is, it’s both of you against the problem. Walking it out together is so important.

FAQ
Counseling/therapy is mainly concerned with the past, whereas coaching is focused on the present & future.
Counseling helps you heal from past wounds and past experiences, while coaching enables you to solve your current situation and take action in order to move forward and see results. The result of coaching is discovery, not a diagnosis.
The first session is designed to give you an introduction to coaching. This includes taking the assessment prior to the session. We will then unpack the first part of your results and dig deeper into your goals and practical steps on how to get there.
Following the first session, you are under no obligation to continue.
If you decide to continue, we have three packages to choose from, either 3, 6, or 12 months with bi-weekly sessions.
My goal is for you to come away from our coaching with a lasting change in your relationship, and I believe that requires a minimum of three months of coaching.
We want to make coaching available to as many people as possible. One session starts as little as $90. Our packages start at $850 and go up to $3400 for a full year of coaching.
This coaching is meant to keep you focused on the positive. There is no guilt, no finger-pointing. It is all about maximizing your love for your partner.
