Couples Coaching
to Deepen Your Connection and Rekindle Your Intimacy
Being in a relationship can be the greatest joy of our life. And it usually also triggers our deepest wounds.
Couples Coaching provides a dedicated space for you to explore how you can create the relationship that truly fulfills you both.
Relationships aren’t easy.
We often believe that with the “right” partner, everything will just flow.
We’ll totally get each other, we’ll feel deeply connected and always be attracted to each other.
And yet most of us meet really challenging roadblocks in our relationship journey.
We might feel like our partner doesn’t see and understand us. Or we don’t see and understand them.
We might have the same arguments over and over again without any solutions.
We might realize that our hopes and expectations aren’t met, and we don’t know what to do about it.
- Maybe we hurt each other without wanting to, and can’t find a way forward.
- Maybe we get so upset with each other that it’s hard to even have a conversation.
- We might feel so disconnected that intimacy is the last thing on our minds.
- Maybe the initial fire has worn off, and we’ve become really great roommates – but something is missing.
Let me assure you: All of this is normal. It’s coming up for a reason – and that’s the entry point for doing work together.
Relationships bring out our unmet childhood needs, our patterns, beliefs and stories about life.
When we feel upset with our partner or disconnected from them, it’s often a result of a deeper pain. Luckily, we don’t need to face this alone, but can learn to meet our inner world together with our partners – as allies.
Relationships are an opportunity to learn about ourselves and each other, and to integrate and heal together.
This makes relationships our greatest teachers
When we face our challenges and work together to release them,
we build a deep and lasting connection.
The Coaching Process
1.
Desire Mapping:
What do you both want?
We get really clear about what you both want in this coaching process, as well as in the bigger picture of your relationship.
- What is important to you?
- What are your values?
- Where do you want to go?
We crystallize your goal into a relationship vision that will serve as your North Star.
2.
Foundational Connection Practices
We work with tailored practices to create foundational safety and connection even in challenging moments or fights. This is key to allow our nervous systems to co-regulate, and see our partner as our ally.
You will learn a variety of conscious communication tools as well as embodied connection practices that set you up for great honest talks on any topic, easeful repair after conflicts, and a way to always find back to love.
3.
Diving Deeper Into Each Other
Depending on your goal and the blocks that we have found, we go into a healing process together.
This can include working with each other’s inner children, core wounds and relationship projections. Or we explore ways to deepen your intimacy through heart open conversation and conscious practices that allow you both to get your desires met.
This part is highly tailored to your situation – there is no one size fits all approach. We’ll select the ways that truly work for you.
Rike’s superpower in relationships comes from a blend of broad theoretical knowledge, deep experiential work and her natural and easeful innate wisdom in this area.
This blends into a loving and yet very effective coaching process that allowed my partner and I to move through years of relationship deepening and growth in weeks. Our love has never been stronger.

We Work on Two Levels:
The conscious mind & our thoughts
We create awareness around your patterns and work on releasing them through creating a shared understanding of where they are coming from. In addition, you’ll get a range of communication tools.
The body & nervous system
Beyond talking, we bring in practices for profound connection, relaxation and safety in the felt sense in your bodies. This often calms the mind more than any discussion could.
I’d love to dive deep with you!
I’ve experienced conscious relationships at their best – and worst
I used to be so lost in navigating relationships. Being anxiously attached and clingy, while trying to hide it and pretending that I don’t need anyone. I seemed to never get what I was so desperately looking for. And played out a lot of my shadows with really kind men – giving to get, holding back what I was truly feeling, crossing my own boundaries.
It’s been revolutionary for me to become conscious of these patterns, and to have healthier and more mature ways to show up.
I learned how to fill my own cup, and how to ask for what I need from my partner as well.
I learned that their behavior has so much more to do with them than with me, and how to truly hold them in love and compassion.
I learned that relationship deep dives get to be fun and so incredibly liberating.
I truly believe that it’s a dual path of doing our own inner work, becoming more empowered, clear and authentic – as well as doing the work in relationships, healing and growing as we only can with someone else.
I’d be honored to take you on this journey, because there is nothing more beautiful and fulfilling than a thriving, loving relationship.
And I want this for everyone in the world!
How We Work Together
When we face challenges in our relationships, we often need two things:
1) A safe space and time to express and be heard
2) Tools and approaches to move forward
I’m here to provide both for you.
As a coach, I’m creating a space for both of you to be understood. When two people are struggling, we often need a third person to give additional capacity without any judgement. This unlocks blockages, allows for more spaciousness in your relationship, and lets the love flow more easefully.
And my goal is to empower you both to become conscious creators of your relationship, using the tools for connection, communication, healing and intimacy that I’ll share with you.
In my work, I’m bringing in my experiences with:
Relational Life Therapy, developed by Terry Real, is a direct, effective and progressive approach to transforming relationships. It helps us see and break out of unhealthy relational patterns, step into true intimacy, and cultivate a mutually nourishing and empowering relationship. We’re combining tools for connection with doing the inner work on the parts of us that are resisting using those tools. So we are free to create the relationship that we actually desire.
As a certified Love & Relationship Coach with the VITA™ Method (The Vital and Integrated Tantric Approach by Layla Martin), I’m trained to take you on deep journeys using embodiment practices, parts work, shadow integration and constellations as well as communication and connection tools. It’s a trauma-informed, compassionate, gentle and yet powerful way to create meaningful shifts in your lives.
These are communication and connection methods that aim at creating understanding and reducing conflicts. It helps us to identify feelings and needs, make clear and actionable requests, and hold each other with empathy. With different tools around noticing, expressing and listening, it also helps us bei in the present moment, and allows us to slow down even triggered situations.
The key points that I’ve taken from my experience in Neo Tantra revolve around loving presence, working with energy, honoring the sacredness of the body and emotions, understanding the Feminine and Masculine principle in all of us, as well as seeing every experiences as an opportunity for depth and opening to the flow of life. I also create a fully non-judgemental and inviting space for all questions and concerns around intimacy, meeting these vulnerable topics with kindness and compassion.

What Previous Couples Have Said:
Our couple’s coaching experience with Rike has been a game changer for my partner and I.
Before we started, my partner and I were beginning a period of reconnection after a period of struggle and disconnection. We were happy to hear there was a coach who could help us with our communication + intimacy journey going forward.
What we got most was several tools and techniques to help us communicate, connect and understand each other better. We also learned ways to grow intimacy and deepen our connection. A lot of insights also came through which have helped us move forward together in the relationship with better understanding and a stronger foundation. I also felt that the coaching was a safe space to express needs and desires.
Not only is Rike so attuned and embodied in this field but she holds space in such a beautiful and compassionate way. There’s room for everything without judgement. Most importantly, we walked away with accessible tools that we feel empowered to used regularly to strengthen and deepen our relationship — from communication, to intimacy and more — and she held us accountable which made all the difference. Thank you for this beautiful experience! We will be back for more.
