Rebuilding Intimacy Intensive in Salt Lake City, UT
Three-Day Intensive
15 hours total | $5,500 per couple
You miss feeling wanted and connected.
Heal the distance. Rediscover closeness. Build lasting connection.
When disconnection has lasted a long time, couples often need more than weekly sessions to find their way back. The three-day intensive offers sustained, focused time to understand and repair what has kept you apart. Years of a lack of intimacy in marriage can leave both partners feeling lonely, rejected or unsure how to start. A three-day marriage intensive gives you the time to work through those layers without rushing.
Through guided conversations, exercises, and practical tools, you will have room to rebuild emotional safety and closeness at a pace that works for both partners. This extended format of intimacy counseling lets you revisit hard topics, rest between days, and practice new ways of connecting. Many couples find that three days creates the momentum needed for lasting change.
Day One: Understanding the Distance
- Explore how and why connection faded over time.
- Map the patterns of avoidance and pursuit that keep you apart.
- Identify resentments and old hurts that block closeness.
Day Two: Healing and Emotional Safety
- Work through past injuries with guided repair conversations.
- Practice vulnerability and responsiveness with each other.
- Talk about desire differences without blame or pressure.
Day Three: Rebuilding Connection
- Explore a pace for physical intimacy that feels safe for both partners.
- Create daily and weekly rituals of connection.
- Build a roadmap for continued reconnection at home.

My Approach for Rebuilding Intimacy
I am so happy to work with you! Your relationship is important to you - otherwise you wouldn't be here. Your relationship has been missing its spark for a while and yet you still care so much about your partner. You can now experience the closeness you have been missing! I am a newcomer to your relationship, so every intensive starts with careful preparation: a couples consultation, individual meetings with each partner, and questionnaires, so our time together goes to what matters most. I am a newcomer to your relationship, so this preparation helps me understand the history of your relationship and any intimacy issues before the intensive begins. It also means you can start the work right away, without spending hours on background.
We will go at your pace. Together we work on understanding what has created distance, talking openly about desire, needs, and boundaries, repairing the hurts that block closeness, and rebuilding affection, touch, and emotional safety at a pace that feels safe for both of you.
