Loving as Spiritual Practice

A Unique Approach

Some couples who do not resonate with more conventional talk therapy based couples counseling. Some couples who are more spiritually oriented couples counseling or who know about attachment styles are looking for a progressive approach to couples therapy.  If you are some one who wants a couples counselor who is both grounded in the latest science of adult relationships while also offering a more embodied, heart-connected and presence-based approach, this may be what you are looking for.

To Growing Your Relationship

Based on the latest neuroscience of healthy romantic relationships and adult attachment, real human connection is a living moment-to-moment aliveness registered as a full-body experience, particularly in the center of your chest (your heart center). Instead of staying in our minds, talking in circles and letting defenses run the show, this approach brings a deeper presence and awareness that creates greater physical and emotional safety. This safety and openness then enables you to feel more seen, listened to, understood and felt by each other.  This in turn allows you and your partner the opportunity to open and actually feel more open-hearted connection with each other.

And Capacity to Love

Whether you are just dating, engaged, newly married or empty nesters there are essential relationship skills that can greatly enhance the quality of your relationship. Regardless of how long you have been in romantic relationship, some couples need some repair work, healing, reassurance and forgiveness before restoring connection. Others need to clean up the critical jabs and attacks to create more emotional safety. Then there is a better foundation to build some essential relationship skills you can both use for the rest of your life like listening; communication, empathy, emotional intelligence, conflict de-escalation, and true open-hearted connection. Then we can focus on revitalizing your romance, passion, masculine-feminine polarity and sexual connection. Eventually once you are really thriving, some couples continue on from the context of their romantic partnership as a spiritual practice of mastery and ever deepening love.

Carryn-Mills

“I felt really met. To be given that kind of reflection, with a depth of presence in offering a sense of understanding and reflecting back to me my own gifts in a way that they can come into fruition and then further expand is a really special gift.”

Carryn | Teacher

Amber-Rochelle

“As a psychologist I'm picky about who I work with.  But, I love how much work he's done on himself; it's very evident. I respect people who've walked the path and done the work because you can feel it. He's so loving and he's so present. His attunement to what's actually happening with you is incredible.”  

Amber | Psychologist

Drisana Carey

“There's another level of vision that he has, like he can see what you don't know that you don't know and he helps to illuminate at the right time in a very skilled way help to bring that to the light and then hold the space for the revelations to unfold.”

“He helped me to tune into myself, find what was actually blocking me, whether it's in life or business, and then helped me release those blockages, which freed up tons of energy and space and provided me with the clarity that I needed.

Matt | Business Mastermind Leader

Katelyn.-Means

“He has literally changed my life, I’m a completely different person than I was when we started.  I would still just be suffering in a lot of inner pain and living a life that isn't fulfilling and not in love. The liberation and the love is like on the other side; just keep going”  

Katelyn | Physical Therapist

Summer | Johnny Blackburn Testimonial

“I had never worked with somebody who's so skilled and he has such a broad capacity; it's an attunement that goes beyond words.  I left our first session and thought ‘is this what it feels like to have all of my stuff cleared and I was looking around, the colors were brighter and I felt alive again for the first time in a long time.  And now I've healed so much trauma that I am actually happy to be on Earth and am enjoying my life in a way that I never did before. It's incredible!”
