FREE COMMUNICATION GUIDE
After a 3 year separation, my husband and I had a lot to work out.
Our attempts to talk about things often led to fighting, feeling hopeless, one of us feeling defensive, etc.
 Over the years, we came up with some guidelines that allowed us to have productive conversations.

What would happen if you could learn to talk to each other in effective and nurturing ways?
How often do you bring something up but it almost immediately gets your spouse on the defensive? Next thing you know you're blaming each other for various things that aren't even related.
When you learn to talk in ways that encourage a discussion you can resolve issues, come up with compromise, and create emotional intimacy instead of distance.
What if you could fully forgive?
You might feel like you've forgiven something in the past, but are you still hanging on to a little bit of something? (Hurt, anger, resentment, etc.)
What will like be like when you let go of it all and can live in the present, looking toward to the future instead of hanging on to the past?
Whether it's your spouse, someone else, or yourself...forgiveness is the key to freedom.

What if you were to better nurture your own well-being?
As you care for yourself in positive ways and keep your own cup full you will show up better for your loved ones. You'll have more to give from your heart instead of from a feeling of duty.
You can nourish your well-being without feeling selfish.
What if parenting didn't have to be so draining?
Parenting is a big job!
There's no other role in life that will teach you as much, bring as much joy (and stress), or feel as rewarding (and draining).
As the atmosphere in your home improves, parenting gets easier.
Everyone wants to feel heard and seen. As those in your home begin to feel understood you will notice many problems begin to lessen or dissolve.

Hi! I'm Vauna
In 2008 I was separated from my husband, barely coping as a mother of 4, overwhelmed, and an emotional disaster.

I didn't know how to take care of myself and I was barely taking care of my kids. I didn't know about self care. I didn't know how to set boundaries to protect my well-being (and that of my loved ones). I didn't like myself but I desperately needed to learn how to.

While preparing divorce papers, something spoke to my heart: "Not yet, let's see what he does with this".

I had to learn how to follow my heart regardless of what others told me I should do. Because almost everyone I cared about was encouraging divorce.

My husband and I began the process of rebuilding ourselves and our relationship, while legally separated, living in different states.

After a 3 year separation, we were able to fully reconcile. And now we’ve spent 16 years learning how to rebuild and effectively nurture our marriage.

We spent the first 5 years learning how to communicate effectively, how to work through hard things together, how to replace anger and resentment with compassion and connection.

We’ve both had to forgive deep wounds that would have ended most marriages.
But what we found on the other side was a haven, a beautifully sculpted garden that we have carefully crafted and nurtured which brings us deeper love, joy, and connection than I ever dreamed of.

In addition to personal experience and intense study, we've each obtained several trainings and certifications including NLP (NeuroLinguistic Programming), Timeline Therapy®, and Hypnotherapy. Together we've helped over 100 individuals and couples overcome patterns, behaviors, and beliefs that damage or destroy marriage and family.

I'm Vauna. I'm a mother of 6, step-mom to 3, wife of 22 years. I was a teen mom. I'm a grandmother of 6. I had my last baby at almost 40. I've been raising kids for 30 years and have a way to go until they're all grown. It's been a LOT of trial and error. But I'm dedicated to constantly improving in this adventure called Marriage and Parenting.

Marriage and family are the best part of my life, the most complicated and the most rewarding thing I've ever done. My family brings me tremendous joy. Yours can too. I'm looking forward to sharing my experience with you.
