How To Be “The Right Partner” with The TOOLS & SKILLS to Create Life-Long  ♡LOVE-ing & Happy Relationships

Relationships Are Easy If You Know How!

We consider RELATIONSHIPS and learning communication ♡TOOLS and Skills as
The FOURTH “R” of EDUCATION.
All life is about being in relationship, whether it is with partners, children, family, friends, work colleagues, neighbours and with yourself.

It’s about communicating and truly CONNECTING.

Everyone needs to have the best up-to-date communication ♡TOOLS and Skills.
These need to be learned in much the same way as we need to learn to read.
We are not born knowing how!
And we need to regularly update these.

Many don’t need therapy but EVERYONE needs Relationship Education to create the relationships and ♡LOVE and life they want.

Healthy relationships are the foundation of a healthy society.

We are in the business of teaching such ♡TOOLS and Skills
It is our privilege to be of service to you.

OUR VISION IS YOU

– have the knowledge to attract and pick ‘the right partner’ to make your marriage/committed relationships stay ♡LOVE-ing and alive and last a lifetime
– have the ♡TOOLS to create, build and strengthen your relationships and the SKILLS to repair and heal any relationship or parenting break-down, disconnection or conflict.
– live in a ♡LOVE-ing world where divorce and violence and family breakdown are rare

 OUR MISSION

To teach the MIND-SET and provide

A Relationship and CommunicationTOOLBOX

of the best, simple, effective, and easy to put into action ♡TOOLS and SKILLS to create the ♡LOVE, relationships and life you want.

WORK WITH US

The SERVICES we offer:

  • Private Counselling/Therapy SESSIONS – either in person or online (via Facetime or Skype)
  • COUPLE or FAMILY INTENSIVES
  • WORKSHOPS – usually 20 hours over a weekend
  • GROUPS
  • ♡LOVE-LIFE RETREATS: 7 -10 days

Marriages/relationships/families do heal after affairs, separations and all kinds of disconnection, break-down and conflict.

You can learn to create the ♡LOVE you long for with the partner you already have.

“This is a revolutionary view of relationships:
rather than leaving it to find yourself, you find yourself through it –
being the right partner is more important than picking the right partner.”
~ Dr. ♡Harville Hendrix

THE KEY is you have TO DO something different.
You will need to be taught how, as well as repair the damage that has been done.

Happily Ever After DOES Happen!

Matt and Stephanie share about their experience of attending
the Couples Communication Workshop:

I realised I could be happy…and get what I wanted…

“What I got out of the weekend was like falling in LOVE, like for the first time. Not re-capturing the spark, but it was really like I just felt much, much closer. Absolutely amazing and I realised…I hadn’t actually thought that I could be happy…that I could get what I wanted out of our relationship…. I realised that could have only ever happened in the Workshop. It’s not like we read a book and say hey let’s do this…..so I’m really grateful and I’m really excited about our future.”

Greetings♡ 

What have we been up to?

Many good things and many challenging things have been happening over the last 9 years since the BushFire on 12th January, 2014 which destroyed our beloved family Home and property of 35 years including all our business equipment and resources  and turned our world and lives completely upside down.

We found a beautiful new home in Darlington where we created our home office, as well as continuing our extensive online practice. Yet we haven’t facilitated Workshops for all those many years. We have needed the long recovery and healing break. Gosh it does feel so completely unbelievable noting that 9 years have passed!!

If you want to read more how it was for us P.F. [Post Fire] check out the posts on Susies♥HeartPathBlog  SEE: Category Archives: BUSHFIRE Destruction & Aftermath starting at the bottom of the list – January 26, 2014 –  Horrifying, horrendous, raging bushfire destroys our family home

Many requests and gentle nudges have kept coming for us to schedule and present our popular CREATE THE RELATIONSHIPS YOU WANT WORKSHOP again as well as the Parenting Work, BORN TO ♡LOVE and THE KEEPING THE ♡LOVE YOU FIND WORKSHOP.
For a full description see HERE

Also we have totally neglected our ♡LOVE-LIFE RETREATS since the BushFire.

We do feel the stirring of energy in us to do our teaching work again yet for the last few years Covid-19 restrictions added to that. Our intention and growth edge will be to offer our WORKSHOPS online. Watch this space.

We are also working on a whole new project and look forward to sharing it with you in the future.

Keep a look out for information and do keep in touch with us on our Facebook page or our e-newsletter (you can subscribe below)

It is always an honour to welcome people. We appreciate you spreading the word about our work to your people; your friends, family and other contacts.

Looking forward to connecting with you again or meeting you for the first time…
With gratitude and allways LOVE, Susie & Shelton
