Couples Retreat
Experience “The Grace Fix”–A Weekend Intensive for Couples
Whether you are in crisis or simply needing a relationship re-set, you will love everything about The Grace Fix Marriage Intensive. Learn how to communicate your feelings, let go of the hurts and experience an emotional connection like never before. Couples new and old, married or unmarried, gay or straight are invited to join this workshop. It is open to all couples interested in healing and enhancing an intimate partnership.
The GRACE FIX COUPLES RETREAT is a unique weekend workshop INTENSIVE for couples focused on “emotional intelligence”. It is not one-on-one traditional talk-therapy nor is it counselling, though Grace does spend time alone with each couple coaching and guiding because she has studied your issues before you arrive. Once you register, you will be asked to fill out a detailed questionnaire outlining your history and your relationship issues, usually 4-7 pages of background that you will email to Grace. Your answers will be kept in strict confidence.
From this place, Grace will study your relationship needs and dynamics and will be able to direct you during the interactive exercises. Grace has an amazing ability to get to the core issues in any relationship and can make both parties feel understood and emotionally safe so that maximum healing can take place. Grace accepts up to 10 couples at each retreat.
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
HOW DOES IT WORK?
The workshop is held in a beautiful extra large ballroom at a luxury hotel resort. During the workshop, Grace will teach you many things about your emotions, relationship needs and communication techniques and then invite you to engage and practice with your partner one-on-one in private. The room is extra large and couples will be asked to spread out and find a private space to conduct their communication. Each lesson and exercise is part of the unique therapy process designed to open the heart and increase intimacy, compassion and understanding between you. This is when the greatest healing shifts occur. Should hot issues arise during this time, Grace is there to coach and navigate between you. Even though your issues will be kept private, most couples report feeling a source of strength and kinship from the other couples present knowing that they are not alone in their relationship struggles.
It is quite AMAZING what happens at her Couples Retreats! During the weekend, Grace will help you stretch your emotional intelligence muscles by teaching you her unique healing process. She will also share with you the latest research on male/female brain science, attachment theory and advanced communication skills; also some life lessons she’s learned from her own 39 year marriage. With this knowledge and hands-on practice, each person courageously navigates their partner’s difficult feelings and starts regulating their own emotional reactions. The result? The walls come down. Compassion turns into understanding resulting in deep healing and a stronger emotional bond.
Relationship & Marriage Retreat for Couples
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 vibration, i.e. more understanding and compassion, and less anger, especially if you intend to co-parent your children. Significant research shows that it’s not divorce that hurts kids, but the name calling, criticism and tension marital breakdowns create within the family. Investing in this Intensive weekend program will not only save you huge legal bills, (the average divorce in North America costs anywhere between $50,000 – $100,000!) 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.

You don’t have to be in crisis to enjoy and benefit from this relationship retreat. 60% of our couples come because they realize that if they don’t deal with their hot issues, they could very well be. Every relationship has “issues”. Rather than sweep problems under the rug, it’s important that you learn how to navigate through the negative emotions and solve problems as they come up. Take a preventative and proactive approach and sign up now. You’ll learn and practice communication tools that will help you 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.
About Grace’s Approach
Grace has been a “Dear Abbey” her whole life. 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, Energy Medicine and Energy Psychology including EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique).
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.
