The Art of Connection: A Guidebook for Couples: Cultivating Authentic Connection through Movement, Play & Vulnerability

I want you to think of this book as your relationship tool kit or a big warm hug and a sigh of relief. It is an essential guidebook to build intimacy and connection with your partner though the use of various practices. Some of the practices are simple, some are more complex but what is important is that they were ALL made to be accessible for anyone to bring into their daily routines. In the Art of Connection, I will be sharing hand-picked playful intimacy & connection exercises, life lessons on connection that I have learned from spending the past six years teaching and traveling the nation in the dance industry, plus how the vulnerability of dance transformed my life.

Throughout this book you will learn how to:

• Re-energize your relationship, deepen intimacy and build connection through the use of movement and dance
• Increase communication skills (both verbal and non-verbal)
• Improve mutual gratitude, friendship, fondness, admiration, and respect for your self and partner
• Uncover and work through triggers to release trauma
• Resolve conflict constructively
• Create and/or reinforce the meaning behind your relationship.
• Eliminate limiting beliefs within yourself and your relationship
• Implement consent and boundaries
• Use breath-work to connect to your partner
• Awaken the 5 senses
• Understand how to touch your partner to create intimacy
• Give and receive
• Understand the importance of eye contact

... and much more!

When I look around, I see the need for connection, the need for couples to understand the tools they can use to form meaningful relationships. With a generation and culture full of what is a facade of seemingly "connected" individuals through social media and technology, I find that it is hurting our interpersonal relationships and the way we interact and connect within our relationships more than ever.

So, I'm looking to change that.

It's my mission to help couples, partners and even individuals re-connect with themselves and their partner through the use of movement, dance, play & vulnerability that which in turn produce a wholesome healthy relationship. Thats what this playbook is doing - through breath work, through movement, through communication, through all kinds of ways - and i'm bringing it straight into your home.
