Pre-Marital Couples Coaching:
Build the Partnership of Your Dreams
Getting married is one of life’s most exciting and important decisions. While marriage brings magical moments, it can also be one of the biggest challenges we face. Unfortunately, relationship skills aren’t something many of us were taught in school. That's where Couples Coaching comes in - helping you build a rock-solid foundation for a lifetime of satisfying love.
What to Expect from Couples Coaching?
In private, personalized sessions, we’ll tackle key areas every couple should explore before saying “I do”:
Communication Coaching
Learn to express yourselves clearly and work through disagreements without causing damage to one another or your partnership.
Setting Intentions, Beliefs & Values
Clarify what you both want for your future together and align on core beliefs and values. Create meaningful traditions unique to your love story.
Breaking Free from Toxic Patterns
Identify unhealthy habits, learn winning strategies and learn to cope with life’s pressures as a united team.
Joint Decision Making
Make decisions together, from big life choices to everyday matters and finances, in a way that respects both partners.
Fidelity & Relationship Agreements
Have open, honest conversations about your expectations for commitment.
Family Dynamics & Parenting
Navigate relationships with your families and for any children you may have together.
Gestalt-based Relational Life Therapy Practitioner
Certified in both modalities, I offer a unique blend of somatic and directive coaching.
Unique Approach for Couples: Relational Life Therapy
As a certified Relational Life Therapist, I base my work on principles of Full Respect Living and Relational Empowerment. I view relationships through a living systems perspective, which emphasizes a balance between self, partner, and community.
By focusing on both personal growth and your connection to others, I provide each partner with the tools and inspiration needed for a more satisfying, effective relationship.
Online Premarital Coaching: Global Support for Your Relationship
As an online premarital coach, I make it easy for couples worldwide to access personalized guidance from home. Virtual sessions offer similar depth as in-person meetings, with added convenience and privacy, allowing both partners to engage fully and build a foundation of open communication and growth, no matter the distance.

Flexible Pricing for Every Couple
Because I believe in the power of premarital coaching, I offer a sliding scale to make sure every couple has access to this invaluable support. Please speak up if you need financial assistance.
Whether you're just starting out or preparing for the big day, these sessions are designed to help you create a marriage that thrives.
My work with couples comes from a living systems perspective, with a focus on relationship to self and community for a thriving romantic partnership. I provide both partners inspiration and skillsets for a more satisfying, effective partnership.
I work with couples internationally, and therefore host most sessions over video.
Rates for Private Session Packages
80-minute sessions allow us time to dive deeper and for you to see greater, longer lasting results. (Sessions can straddle your ceremony date, or take place entirely prior to your wedding day.) Sessions can be virtual; or in person in Boulder, Colorado.
Perfect for couples who are already in sync and just want a little extra insight before tying the knot. If you've been together for years, are confident in your communication, and have already nailed down your family and financial plans, this session is a great tune-up.
Ideal for couples who are mostly doing well but want to fine-tune their relationship. This package is perfect if you’ve been together for under five years, recently moved in together, or want to level up your communication and connection.
For couples navigating more complex situations - whether it’s family drama, trust issues, or big life changes. These sessions will help you build a rock-solid foundation to face any challenges that come your way.
Since I believe strongly in premarital work, I make available a sliding scale for those requiring financial support to make couples coaching possible.
My standard a la carte rate is $160 for a 55 minute session, and please inquire if you need financial accommodations.
I work with couples around the globe, offering convenient, virtual relationship coaching sessions so you can get the support you need, wherever you are.

TESTIMONIALS
“100% Recommend! Sarah led my fiance and me through several sessions of pre-marital coaching and I cannot say enough positive things about the experience. She facilitated difficult conversations with professionalism and sensitivity. Sarah immediately picked up on our dynamic and was able to offer fantastic insight into our relationship almost immediately. We had to do our sessions over video calling due to COVID-19 and felt the experience was equally enriching. No matter the status of your relationship, I am confident Sarah can help you build a stronger bond.”
-Danielle Licht, 2020
"Working with you has completely transformed our relationship. You are a gifted coach and have been so on point with knowing how to support us! We are communicating better than ever, aware of our patterns, and able to work through a fight MUCH more quickly. I now realize that our disagreements have gifts! You have made a big difference for us. Your coaching has taught me how to communicate my truth through conversations that are gentle, kind, loving and affirming; and yet I am making my point, taking care of myself, and not being a doormat! What I have learned from you is just fantastic. We would NOT be where we are today without the sessions we've had with you, Sarah. You got what was going on and you saved us. You really did. I just can't thank you enough."
Anne Marie and Skip, June, 2017
"We started working with Sarah, and were IMMEDIATELY blown away. She was patient, thoughtful, organized, attentive, caring... basically everything we were looking for, but SO much more. Every time my husband and I would end a session with her, we were shocked by her careful attentiveness and presence. She KNEW what she was doing and she did it so well. She was SO easy to work with. Overtime, we had multiple sessions with her - which felt like intimate relationship coaching sessions. Which, allowed my husband and I to deepen our relationship. It's like she was helping us connect through being a wedding officiant, and through the process, my husband and I would fall in love with each other more."
Kiyomi & Joel
“Sarah has helped us realize the depth of love we share. We are more compassionate, present minded, and forward thinking. We learned the value of big and small community, and we couldn’t be better prepared for marriage.
We believe Sarah is servicing the world through her calling to bring couples and communities together in companionship and celebration, and we can’t recommend her more highly.”
Taylor & Kimi
"We met with Sarah three times before our wedding as a way to set aside time to discuss issues in our relationship about which we were contemplating. This having been the first time either of us had worked with a coach, we were both nervous. Sarah recognized that immediately and was able to frame an atmosphere that helped us relax and share freely. Her skill that first session allowed us to approach the next two sessions with excitement and comfort. Sarah balanced sharing personal experience, to help us feel like she understood from where we were coming, with skill of keeping sessions focused on us and our needs. She was kind, warm and also allowed us the space to laugh. We truly enjoyed the experience working with Sarah and would like to figure out a way to make space in our lives for continued coaching."
Rachel & Shawn
"Our time with Sarah has been absolutely eye opening. Sarah has given us the space needed to thoughtfully reflect on the relationships we have with others, and with ourselves. By the end of only a few sessions, we took a step back and saw how far we had come. We can say confidently that with Sarah's help we have greatly improved our ability to communicate with ourselves, each other and the people surrounding us."
