Grace specializes in Relationship Intervention. Her Couples Weekend Intensive attracts couples from all over Canada and the United States. It has been so successful that Grace has gained a wide reputation with marriage therapists on both sides of the border who regularly refer their most “difficult cases” to Grace. Her overwhelming success with couples has to do with a unique healing process that she has pioneered (Emotional Brain Therapy, EBT™), which helps couples heal from trauma and negative emotions stuck in the emotional part of the brain. Grace has been practicing this unique form of emotions-focused therapy long before university researchers discovered that traditional talk therapy is not effective when working with couples. Over 3000 couples have benefitted from The Grace Fix, her intensive marriage retreat that she created and delivers in her hometown of Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario. Hundreds of couples credit Grace’s program for “saving their marriage”. Just check out some of her amazing Testimonials.

Using her knowledge of mental and emotional health as well as an integrated approach with traditional and non traditional therapies, Grace has helped transform the lives of thousands of men and women with her one-on-one Coaching and at her Intensive Retreats. Her programs for men and women are simply “life changing” and many organizations have paid for their staff to attend.
