Couples Coaching
What's involved in our couples coaching commitment?
All commitments are about investment - an agreement you make more with yourself than with anyone else. People will not think twice about investing in material aspects of their lives: new cars, clothes, houses, season tickets to the ballgame, weddings, vacations, degrees, jewelry and other ways to define themselves in some way. None of these are bad per se yet when it comes to investment in their own consciousness there is an interesting threshold people either pull back from or chose to step through.
We don't take this step lightly and we don't expect either of you to do so either. We want your commitment. Without it we'll ask you to step aside and let others by who are ready. Only you know if you are in that place to take that one step and know if that something inside of you says yes, I'm in and I'm fully worthy of making this commitment to myself as much as I make it with my partner.

Today, there is no single relationship with another more important than our love relationship.
More than ever before in the history of humankind our families, society, our economy and our environment depend on the health and well-being of our love relationships.
Yet there remains relatively few effectively applied science-based resources out there to support couples to ensure they stay strong, viable, growing and fun for the long term.
We're here to change that.
In addition to our core certificate programs on relationships, The ALICE Institute is pleased to offer also private coaching for couples.
Your investment is why this couples coaching agreement is an important one we make with you. We understand there are two baseline objectives in what we generate together - insight is one of them and the other is embodiment. We believe one without the other defeats the point of coaching and therefore we attune to these objectives above all.
At the ALICE Institute, commitment is above all about entrustment. We also understand as so frequently happens that one of you will be the one wanting couples counseling and the other will oftentimes be "going along" with this. Indeed we expect that at first. That's where most couples start. You'll come because you might have to however experience tells us you'll stay because you'll both find you want to even if it is for the sheer curiosity of what becomes all possible for each of you and together too.
Following years of coaching, we've also learned these insights are often what a part of us always suspected deep down. Other insights awaken the more unexpected in us. All share somehow that something previously illusive, and some will be completely unseen before we begin this work. What we inevitably start to notice is that our sessions open up ways to create new layers of relating that previously there was no capacity to consider before and yet through our transformation journey here you'll now start to open up to the truly possible for you and your relationship.
Commitment therefore for us more than anything else is about entrusting in each other to co-create the insights to embodying a relationship you both feel supports you both in a transformative way that you each welcome in yourself and in each other with open arms - literally and figuratively ;-). We take this entrusting of us as your facilitator in this with great honor for what you are co-creating here and for the courage you each are stepping into in making this co-commitment.
The Seen/Unseen Revolution:
Transforming Relationships
In the past, love was often understood as a heady mix of romance and hormones, carefully regulated by social norms and traditions. Today, however, love has been placed under a powerful microscope. It is being studied through the lens of scientific research and celebrated as a central theme in emerging social frameworks.
In these new relationship ecosystems, emotional intelligence has become the prerequisite as the new currency of connection. Partners now seek depth of understanding, empathy, and emotional maturity in each other above almost any other quality.
This vision assumes healthy models of love — yet many of us grew up with dysfunctional examples, regardless of our culture or background. The entry ticket to this evolving paradigm must therefore begin with humility. We must acknowledge that we are all learning together. In the process of reimagining love, we discover new facets of what it means to be in a conscious, loving relationship – both with ourselves and with others.
While the world’s attention is captured by artificial intelligence as the defining revolution of our time, an even greater transformation is unfolding quietly in the realm of human relationships.
Modern marriage and partnerships are being redefined at a dizzying pace. In recent decades, the institution of marriage has undergone a profound reinvention – a process that shows no signs of slowing, regardless of whether one is “inside” the traditional system or forging a new path outside of it.
The Pivot: Today’s revolution in relationships is characterized by the rapid evolution of marriage, scientific exploration of love, and an emphasis on emotional intelligence.
Modern Marriage: Relationships are being redefined and reinvented by changing values and social structures.
Love as Science: Researchers and thought leaders are examining love in new ways, making it both a personal journey and a collective evolution.
Emotional Intelligence: This has emerged as the cornerstone of what partners now value most in each other.
Humility and Growth: Recognizing our shared learning journey is crucial. Everyone brings different backgrounds of love, so approaching relationships with humility is the first step toward growth.
By embracing these shifts, we step into a future of NEW possibilities that is more conscious, resilient, deeply connected and more alive!'
DEFINING THE FUTURE OF RELATIONSHIPS
Here at the ALICE Institute we are going one important step further in what we see as THE EMERGING AND NEW defining the core of relationships. We call this WHOLE BODY INTELLIGENCE.
A Whole Body Intelligent Relationship
A New Approach to Couples Coaching
Key to this we believe is developing a whole body intelligence set of skills and practices individually and together so you can build something exciting and new from within your relationship to enjoy short term AND to grow with sustainably over time.
In a world increasingly struggling with fleeting relationships or a resignation to singlehood or sighing at the general malaise of disconnection a lifelong relationship that gets better and better with each decade feels almost radical and far-fetched to even aspire to wanting anymore, let alone actually experience it and yet deep inside of us seeks to have something as precious and rewarding as what this is. Humans, after all are wired for authentic connection and thrive because of it.
The old models of relationships we had are meanwhile dissolving with or without our participation. We all know this and we see it happening all around us today. Love now examined through the lenses of neuroscience, psychology, and embodiment offer new paths to new relationship potentials. It has become both a field of study and a living experiment in how we grow, connect, and co-create. In this new relational ecosystem, emotional intelligence has become the primary currency of connection — and yet, even emotional intelligence alone is only a part of what we teach here.
Here at the ALICE Institute, we take a new approach to match the new times we live in and our approach is well beyond your traditional couples therapy (whew!). Here we are interested in teaching you about these new emerging developments in relationships today, AND more importantly we are also interested in giving you the real time skills and tools to take home with you.
Core to the transformation work we do with you is immersion into whole body intelligence. We share with you what is the template in our humble yet dedicated decades-long research into this and what we call the conscious loving relationship (note emphasis on conscious). We also help you to experientially immerse into this in a fun and ease-filled way so you can experience this in real time for yourselves in every session.
What we are most excited to share is what we call the relationship with our Whole Body Intelligence — the deeper wisdom that emerges when mind, emotion, and body operate in coherence. It is through this embodied awareness that we begin to sense, communicate, and connect beyond where relationships have gotten stuck. Whole Body Intelligence allows us to attune not just cognitively or emotionally, but somatically — to feel the truth of our experience in real time. This is in our findings where authenticity, empathy, and connection (and therein safety) are born and grow.
Of course, this evolution requires new structures. Most of us grew up inside models of love shaped by dysfunction, disconnection, or survival — regardless of culture or class. That means humility must be the threshold of entry into this new paradigm. We are all learning together. The work of conscious relationship today is not just about knowing more; it’s about embodying differently.
Through Whole Body Intelligence, we learn to listen not only to what we think or feel, but to what our entire being knows. In that awareness, relationships become laboratories for evolution — places where we learn to integrate the fragmented parts of ourselves and discover what it truly means to love consciously, courageously, and completely.
This, perhaps, is the greater revolution of our time: not artificial intelligence, but embodied intelligence — awakening within us the capacity to relate with depth, authenticity, and wholeness.
About Your Coach
That's why it was all the more painful when my marriage of twenty years collapsed. I wasn't able to see it coming. I believed instead "we love each other, right?" Yet we spiraled downwards into a high conflict divorce, a legal cesspit, a very damaging custody battle, financial ruin, estranged from our community, embedded in an awful and ugly family and friends feud, and no closure between us outside of the only one left you give to yourself alone. The experience has been devastating.
We had been that couple and that family many of our friends had wanted to be. How could this happen?
And yet it did happen.
Seeing firsthand how a marriage can disintegrate was not only a personally shattering experience, it left me still grappling with, well... if it happened to two people who loved each other, how could I prevent this from happening again or help others avoid the pain of this happening to them?
I searched high and low for answers and found myself only more troubled and frustrated how inadequately equipped our society is in helping struggling couples and families.
A long time proponent of a growth oriented marriage, I've spent the last years extensively researching, discovering, and uncovering what foundational structures need to be in place for growth to actually happen and happen in a way that strengthens you versus breaks you. What was at first a personal journey to find answers has led me to help others find them too.
As your lead coach and program curator I'm interested in empowering couples to build together a conscious loving foundation for their relationship where both individuals are honored, both experience more intimacy, safety and trust, their love and sexual as well as sensual expression grows, and yes also co-creating all of this while if you have children, your family stays sustainably thriving, healthy and intact.
Alice's Story to Love...
I was like many out there. Love felt like a powerful and incredibly compelling but mysterious mix of sex and sentiment to me. I fell deeply in love with my college sweetheart 35 years ago, emigrated to be with him, and believed him with a wide-eyed wholeheartedness when he whispered, "love conquers all".
When challenges came up my husband and I and our three children had somehow always come through despite the classic pitfalls nearly taking us out along the way. Somehow, I had always uncovered another lifeline of support just in time to help us through. Indeed, I bet you that if you can think of a way to save a marriage, I’ve tried it.
Our coaching and our programs are rooted in science-based practice and aimed at transforming lives and evolving people's experience of next generation love, consciously-based relationships, and what it really means to be in a commitment with one another.
No matter what stage of relationship or life you find yourself we're confident that what we do here is a different kind of resource out there today to help you not only value the all of who you are and who you are to each other, we give you new tools for also transforming it AND proactively thereafter to be the most thriving, growing, fun and deepening intimate, intelligent, and connected relationship of your lives.
We give you the know-how and the confidence to say "Wow, we really got this!" We appreciate how high the stakes are and that it’s no longer acceptable that an average of 47% of marriages end up in divorce.
We’re also not shy about saying many people staying married so often are struggling behind closed doors and that they deserve better support. Our mission is to change that, one relationship at a time.
NOTE: We only work with couples
who are ready to no longer “settle” or "compromise" or "submit" to the way it’s always been.
There’s another way!
