The New Chapter of Us
Two days. Just the two of you. With Tarisha. At Castaways Resort, Auckland west coast.
Book a discovery callWhether you’re drifting apart or in real crisis, weekly therapy can be too slow
Maybe you’ve been drifting for years. Date nights, books, the occasional therapy session, and you keep landing back in the same place. Some weeks feel okay, some weeks you barely speak. Sex is rare or it’s been a long time. Or maybe it’s sharper than that. You’re in real crisis. One of you is one foot out the door. The fights have an edge they didn’t have a year ago. Weekly therapy feels too slow to save what you’ve built together.
Two days, just the two of you, at a beach resort an hour from Auckland. You walk in carrying the pattern you’ve been stuck in. You walk out understanding it, with the tools to step out of it together, and the felt sense of what it takes to want each other again. Concentrated, so you don’t lose any more ground while you wait between weekly sessions.
Two full days with Tarisha is the equivalent of six months of private therapy, done in one concentrated block. Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, sex therapy, Hakomi somatic psychotherapy, breathwork, and tantric work, woven together and adapted entirely to your relationship.
You’ll know it’s time to do this if
You’re in real crisis. One of you is one foot out the door, and weekly therapy is moving too slowly to catch up.
You’ve been together five years or more, and you feel more like flatmates than lovers.
You keep landing in the same fight, and you can’t find your way out of it.
Sex has become rare, mechanical, or a source of conflict between you.
You’ve read the books, listened to the podcasts, and nothing has actually changed the dynamic at home.
You’re committed to each other. You’re ready to do something concentrated about it, before more time goes by.
Built around what your relationship actually needs
Day one — Reconnecting hearts, rediscovering desire
Understand and shift your emotional cycle. From arguments and distance to love and connection. EFT-led work to map the pattern you keep landing in, partnered breath and body practice, and the first opening of the sexual conversation. By the end of the day, you both know what is really going on underneath the fight.
Day two — Deepening connection, building your new chapter
Understand and shift your sexual cycle. From sex as a chore to passionate lovemaking. New emotional and sexual moves, a written repair script for the next argument, sexual communication practices, and your 21-day plan to keep what you have built alive once you go home.
Real change, not a weekend high
Two days of focused work is only worth it if it lasts. Here’s what you walk out with.
A clear map of your cycle
You’ll finally see, together, the pattern you’ve been stuck in for years. The trigger, the move, the counter-move, the silence. Once you see it, you can step out of it.
Tools that work in the moment
Not theory. Concrete moves you can use the next time the fight starts. So you don’t end up in the same place again on a Tuesday night three weeks from now.
A shared language for what’s underneath
The words that let you say what’s really going on, instead of the surface complaint. The thing you’ve both been trying to say for years, finally said cleanly.
The felt sense of how desire returns
Not a lecture on sex. An embodied experience of what it feels like when polarity is alive between you again. Once your body knows it, you can find your way back to it.
Structures for keeping it alive at home
The practical agreements, rituals, and conversations that let the work outlast the weekend. So you don’t slide back into the old shape on Wednesday.
One follow-up online session
Within 60 days. To check in, integrate what’s shifted, and adjust what isn’t quite landing yet. Built into the price.
