Testimonials

We honestly received more than we expected on this couples retreat with Clare and David. Their level of expertise and compassion created a safe and nurturing space for us to address some big challenges in our 36 year marriage. We both felt safe enough to be vulnerable together, and with the group. Thank you David and Clare for helping us learn the tools to be kinder and stay present, especially when times are tough.

Clare and David are amazing! All the couples were very engaged, and I feel we were all able to help each other in different ways. I really enjoyed the final exercise where we all supported one of the participants healing. It allowed us to all come together to wrap up the weekend. Although I hope we don’t feel like we would NEED this again, I would be open to doing it again.
