How to reconnect…when you feel like roommates, not lovers
live in-person workshop
60 seconds on why this in-person workshop will completely transform your relationship
for couples and individuals who love each other but feel distant, communicate only on the surface, and want to reconnect with more closeness, trust, and passion.
From Roommates to Lovers is a powerful 3.5‑hour in‑person workshop for couples and individuals, hosted by Relationship Coaches Michael & Amy — partners for 20 years who have guided over 500 couples to transform their connection.
If you’re ready to reconnect, rebuild trust, and bring back warmth and intimacy, this workshop is for you.
💛 You’ll discover how to create emotional safety, communicate with depth and care, and reignite your spark — no matter how long things have felt flat or disconnected.
You’ll walk away with practical tools, fresh clarity, and a renewed sense of hope and closeness that you can start weaving into your relationship immediately.
💔 On the surface, everything seems okay…
But behind closed doors, there’s a growing distance.
You still care deeply but the connection feels flat. You're doing your best, but it’s like you're living as co-managers, not lovers. Conversations stay surface-level, tensions simmer, and the spark feels out of reach.
You’re not ready to walk away, but something has to shift.
This is for the couple (or individual) who knows there’s more possible…and is ready to bridge the gap before it grows any wider.

Don’t just take it from us…
Before: “Our communication was terrible. We would have big fights and go days without speaking. We even brought up the D word on several occasions.
After: We have open and clear communication, which has helped us to understand each other immensely. We both feel secure in our marriage even when times get tough. So much so that we are renewing our marriage vows next week, to mark our 10-year wedding anniversary!
Before: “We were both stuck in a little bit of a lost space where we had both forgotten how much we meant to each other.”
After: We are soo connected and more in love than I have ever felt - we have so much more respect - understanding and love for one another. Our fun is back in our relationship and we are both very happy and now have tools to keep us this way forever xx
This isn’t couples counselling.
This is personal power.
Because when you shift — deeply, genuinely, energetically—
Everything in the relationship starts to move.

How we got into our work as
couples connection coaches
When we say our journey has been transformative, we truly mean it.
Our narrative is one of authenticity, resilience, and the unwavering commitment to building a love that stands the test of time. BUT…At one stage, our relationship was teetering on the edge of a cliff, and we had no idea how to clamber out of it.
Back in 2005, our story began on the conventional road paved by society - education, full-time jobs, a home, and the joy of starting a family. Yet, as the years passed, the subtle drift in our connection led us to a crossroads. Like many, we faced the highs and lows that relationships bring, questioning the very foundation of our union.
We unknowingly slipped into a power struggle. Our honeymoon phase felt like a fleeting memory leaving us to blame each other for not meeting our needs. At times it was childish. Tensions rose and had an ugly consistency to it. The cycles of arguments became frequent, the time in disconnect became longer and we felt so alone yet trapped in the nightmare together. A weird paradox.
Our “fork in the road” was upon us. We could have turned away from the pain and started afresh.
Instead of succumbing to the challenges, we chose a different path – one of personal and relational growth. Our commitment to understanding each other propelled us into a transformative journey. We invested time, energy, and resources into studying and learning, deepening and connecting, emerging stronger, happier, and more united than ever. We stood at the ledge of a decision and chose not to abandon ship but to build a ship that could withstand any storm.
Now, drawing from our own experiences, we stand united with you as a dynamic duo, offering a harmonious blend of male and female perspectives. Our mission is clear: to guide couples towards profound connection, intimacy, and love. We have meticulously crafted a signature program designed to breathe life into relationships, creating a ripple effect of positivity that extends beyond the couple to benefit the entire family and community.
This is your invitation to join us in a journey towards a relationship that is connected, compassionate, and deeply fulfilling.
We have gone through distance, pain, struggle and stress in a 20 year relationship. We then mastered our relationship reconnection over many years and distilled it down to three simple pillars that now guides so many couples to a union that is overflowing with fulfilment and is unbreakable in its foundation.
