Intensive Counseling Retreat for Busy Couples
Inspired by the Engadin Healing Powers.
An alternative:
Unlike traditional therapy sessions that last months, this goal-oriented private retreat with intensive
counseling delivers immediate results, saving you time and money.
Impactful few days:
A healing holiday provides an optimal environment for addressing your concerns, as counseling has a more profound and encompassing effect when you're rested and relaxed.
Togetherness:
Time to talk, combined with solution-oriented counseling, will restore and strengthen your relationship in days.
A private retreat means:
-
Sessions are one-on-one, tailored exclusively to you.
-
Packages include counseling only; you arrange your travel and book accommodations of your choice.
-
You’ll be picked up from your hotel for relaxed walks in nature.
-
Outside counseling hours, your time is entirely your own.
-
A free preliminary session helps you explore the retreat format and decide how many days suit you best.

Coverage of Marriage Counseling
The Private Counseling Retreat helps you improve communication in your relationship during a crisis, after a time of hardship or betrayal, or when you doubt your marriage can last.
I also offer individual counseling for those who desire marriage counseling, but the partner isn't joining in. It's possible to improve the relationship by changing the dynamics one-sided.
The retreats are for 3, 4, or 5 days. The packages are described further down this page, and if you want to go straight to that section, please follow this link.
The Retreats take place in the Engadine. Please visit the Locations page to learn more.
Improving Communication
Poor communication in an intimate relationship is often caused by a lack of in-depth understanding of your two personalities or cultural differences. When both parties are unhappy about how they're being heard and understood, there is too much interpretation on each side, disharmonizing the bond between you.
If your challenges include your children, check out the Parenting Retreats.
Recovering Together from Hardship
Moving houses, financial strains, dramatic events or problematic attitudes in the extended family, an illness, cultural differences, discrimination and many more external factors can slowly or abruptly change the relationship. Finding back to being the couple of before can be very difficult. Hoping that time will help is sometimes not a great idea, but talking it through is healing.
Healing a Betrayal
Every betrayal leaves one in the relationship with the work of rebuilding trust, but it's still an equal effort on both sides. A retreat will help you have enough time, space, and momentum to get through the necessary conversations and understand the situation with new perceptions.
Improving the Relationship
If the relationship was good once but has become an unsatisfying connection, underlying issues may influence how you feel for each other. That requires opening up and becoming courageous in being authentic in front of the partner.
Testimonial About the Marriage Counseling Retreat
"I felt very safe and comfortable during our walks. We have not been talking that openly and in such a constructive way since years. It felt liberating and also allowed me to reflect on our real problems.
Being out in nature, in an open space, and being able to focus on what we hear and less on the problem helped tremendously. It is an investment in us in our future I would recommend to anyone."
