For 30 years I have been a step mother and I've spent many years supporting step families and researching what makes them thrive. I have facilitated workshops and seminars for couples, provided professional development courses to those working with step-families, coached couples privately to overcome step-family challenges, written books, manuals and articles and have appeared on national television and radio many times speaking about step family issues and complexities.
Having experienced the difficulties of blending first hand I can tell you it is worth it and your journey can be made MUCH smoother if you're well equipped with the right advice, skills and strategies.
Your session was so helpful in letting us see each others views and "ways of being" more clearly, thank you so much for facilitating a productive conversation that often was left unresolved until the next time it was brought up.

Thank you for sharing your insights. I feel a lot better on what I can do going forward to improve my situation. I wish I would have known of your expertise a lot sooner. I'm also appreciative of the action plan and reminders you've outlined to work towards.

You are not alone… step families by their very nature are complex, often leading to issues that cause conflict and obstacles.
Often it takes someone with a fresh perspective to give you a clear direction for the way ahead! In response to repeated requests from individuals for personalised coaching to help them with these issues, I have developed the Blending Lives Coaching Program to assist you to succeed.
Blending Lives Coaching Program
We will work together to turn your blended family challenges into victories
​
My Blending Lives Coaching Program is goal orientated and action-focused to enable positive and immediate change in your family. It gives you the opportunity to discuss the issues you're facing and receive advice, support, accountability and direction for the way ahead. You and your partner can take part together or you can receive coaching on your own.
​
One session will get you started and give you direction and strategies. Many couples find great value in follow-up sessions to guide you as you implement changes and you decide if you would like more.
​
In addition, I offer EFT couples therapy
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples helps you feel closer and more connected to your partner. It enables you to understand and change the negative patterns that cause distance or conflict in your relationship, and makes it easier to share your deeper feelings in a safe way. EFT is one of the most scientifically researched and evidence based approaches to couples therapy, and has helped many couples strengthen their bond, rebuild trust, and feel more secure in their relationship. It has a high success rate which is why I use this model. If you choose this option, the number of sessions required varies somewhere between 12 - 20 depending on your patterns and will be discussed with you if you express an interest to explore EFT.
