Experience “The Grace Fix”–A Marriage Therapy Weekend

The Grace Fix

A Premium Retreat Near Toronto and Western New York– Whether you are in crisis or simply needing a re-set, you will love everything about Grace’s Marriage Therapy Weekend. Couples new and old, married or unmarried, gay or straight are invited to join this relationship intensive weekend. 

The GRACE FIX COUPLES RETREAT serves as an intensive, private marriage intervention designed specifically for couples facing critical relationship crossroads.

This premium weekend intensive is built for couples dealing with:                                    
    • The Brink of Separation or Divorce: If you are actively discussing parting ways or navigating a profound marital crisis.
    • Deep Emotional Disconnection: If you feel like roommates living parallel lives and have lost your emotional or physical intimacy.
    • The Aftermath of Betrayal: If you are struggling to find a clear path forward to rebuild safety, trust, and communication after an affair or breach of trust.
    • Chronic, Unresolved Conflict: If you are trapped in a toxic loop of defensive arguments, stonewalling, or constant tension.

A Safe, Private Sanctuary—No Forced Group Sharing
I understand that relationship trauma is deeply personal. Unlike large-format marriage conferences or standard group therapy, my retreat is structured around private, one-on-one partner communication exercises. You will never be forced to share your marriage crisis, secrets, or vulnerabilities with a room full of strangers.

Held at the luxurious White Oaks Resort & Spa in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, this intensive weekend provides a private, distraction-free sanctuary. It is an easily accessible driving destination for couples traveling from Toronto, Mississauga, Ottawa, Oakville, London, Hamilton, and Western New York (Buffalo/Niagara Falls) who need urgent, high-impact guidance to save their marriage.

Once you register, you will be asked to submit a detailed questionnaire outlining your relationship issues. From this place, Grace will be able to direct you during the interactive exercises throughout the weekend. 

AGENDA:  Friday 7:30pm – 10:30 pm; Saturday 9am – 6pm; Sunday 9am – 6pm.

First couple to register for each date receives a FREE gorgeous room upgrade at the Resort!

What to Expect

An Intensive Crisis Intervention for Ontario Couples on the Brink

When your relationship is in severe distress, a weekly 60 minute counseling session is often not enough to break the cycle.  The Grace Fix marriage retreat is specifically designed for couples experiencing relationship distress, emotional disconnection, or navigating a crossroads like separation and divorce. It is a hands on intensive experience. 

Whether you are navigating deep emotional distance, trying to rebuild trust, or facing a critical decision about the future of your marriage, please know that change is entirely possible. A weekend away from the daily noise can completely break a painful deadlock.
I often hear from couples that one partner is fully ready to attend, while the other is deeply hesitant. If that is the case for you, I want to reassure you both of the following:
  1. Absolute Privacy: This weekend is a sanctuary. There is no forced group sharing, public vulnerability, or group therapy. Your private relationship matters remain entirely between the two of you. Only Grace will know your specific issues because of the questionnaire you filled out before coming.
  2. A Structured Roadmap: We do not sit in blame. Instead, I give you concrete, actionable emotional intelligence tools to map out a clear path forward.
  3.  A Proven Program: Over 3000 couples have taken this workshop with rave reviews. It is recommended by many marriage counsellors and therapists. 
  4. Authenticity:  Not only will you experience Grace’s amazing program perfected over 25 years of teaching it but you will also hear the valuable life lessons she’s learned from her own 40+ year marriage. 
  5. Not a Religious Retreat:  Although Grace welcomes people from all faiths to her workshops, she does not use religion in her teachings.

 

Relationship & Marriage Retreat for Couples

What if You Feel It’s Too Late for You?

In the book, Tug of War: A Judge’s Verdict on Separation, Custody Battles, and the Bitter Realities of Family Court, Harvey Brownstone says many couples cause extreme hardship for their children and spend thousands of dollars in legal bills unnecessarily because they cannot handle their intense emotions towards each other.  Emotions like anger, vindictiveness, rage, greed, and anxiety produce toxic results not only for the couple but for the children caught in the middle.  He says, marriages may end, but couples with children need to learn how to co-parent and continue talking to one another even through difficult emotions and not in the courtroom!

If divorce or separation is your decision, Grace’s program can help you find your inner peace and emotional closure regarding this relationship. If the marriage must end, do it from a higher place, i.e. more understanding and compassion, and less anger and bitterness especially if you intend to co-parent your children.

Research shows that it is not divorce that hurts kids, but the name calling, criticism and tension marital breakdowns create within the family.

Investing in this Couples therapy weekend will not only save you huge legal bills, (the average divorce in Canada is $50,000 – $100,000; more in the US); but it will help you be the positive role model your kids need during this difficult time. Another benefit is that you’ll understand yourself and what went wrong in the relationship so that you don’t end up attracting the same “dance” with a new partner.

Relationship & Marriage Retreat for Couples
What if You’re Not in Crisis?

You don’t have to be in crisis to enjoy the benefits of this marriage program. 50% of our couples come to deal with ongoing issues and negative dynamics.  Rather than sweep problems under the rug, they choose to navigate through the negative emotions and solve problems as they come up.  Sign up for an upcoming retreat to take a preventative and proactive approach.   You’ll learn how to navigate through your feelings and reconnect heart to heart like you’ve never done before. Many parents have gifted this weekend retreat to children as a wedding gift.

NOT SURE IF THIS PROGRAM IS FOR YOU? Contact Grace directly (grace@gracecirocco.com) to set up a FREE 15 minute consultation call. 

About Grace’s Approach

Transformational Couples RetreatGrace has been giving advice ever since she can remember. She is a master at relationship intervention, conflict resolution and understanding people’s emotional and psychological needs. Because she’s an Empath, she “gets” people. Her innate compassion and empathy allows her to navigate through your personal issues with sensitivity and care but she is also tough when she has to be. People love her direct, no-nonsense-tell-it-like-it-is approach and her down-to-earth charm and charisma wins favour from skeptics and fans alike. 

Grace’s formal education includes a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) degree in Philosophy  Queen’s University at Kingston  and graduate studies in Philosophy  University of Western Ontario.  Grace has studied a wide variety of traditional and holistic healing modalities including Cognitive Therapy, Neuro-science, Neuro-plasticity, Neuro-Linguistic-Programming (NLP), Mindfulness, the Biology of Belief, Energy Psychology, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) and a variety of Eastern and Western meditation techniques.

GRACE HAS PIONEERED HER EMOTIONAL BRAIN THERAPY

Grace is an expert in an emotional healing process that she has pioneered (Emotional Brain Therapy, EBT™ ) and over the years perfected, which allows negative feelings caused by betrayal, deception, infidelity, abandonment, abuse, or any other conflict to become unblocked in the Emotional Brain (where all trauma is registered) and be healed. Once this negative energy clears out, the positive feelings return and years of disconnection end putting you on the path of love, joy and happiness. It is quite miraculous what can happen when you teach people how to clear out their negative feelings for one another.

Grace has been practicing this unique form of emotional healing for couples  for over 25 years, long before university researchers discovered that traditional talk therapy is not effective with couples.  In what is being called “the new science of love” in major universities around the world, it has been found that relationship therapy centered around expressing and healing emotions is ten times more effective for creating long lasting love.  Grace’s Emotional Brain Therapy helps couples heal negative emotions and develop  greater emotional intelligence and self awareness.  Couples are able to forgive and restore trust, love and respect.    To learn more about Grace read her complete bio here.
