Midlife brings huge shifts – emotionally, physically and relationally. And while perimenopause may be happening in your body, it often impacts the whole relationship. Many couples find themselves feeling disconnected or unsure how to support each other through this stage.
That’s why my husband and I have created Relationship Coaching Workshops specifically for midlife couples who want to reconnect, communicate better and understand each other more deeply during this chapter.
These workshops are gentle, supportive and designed to help you move forward together.
Why Hormones Can Impact Relationships So Deeply
Perimenopause hormones don’t just change how you feel physically – they affect your emotions, energy, communication and connection. That’s why this stage can sometimes shake a relationship more than expected.
• Emotions feel bigger – Hormonal swings can make reactions stronger or quicker than usual.
• Stress tolerance drops – Everyday pressures can suddenly feel overwhelming.
• Intimacy shifts – Changes in libido or comfort can create confusion or distance.
• Fatigue + brain fog – It becomes harder to communicate calmly or clearly.
• Identity is shifting – When you’re questioning who you are now, the relationship can wobble too.
None of this is your fault. It’s biology, not failure.
Once both partners understand what’s happening, everything softens – communication, compassion, and connection.
Why these workshops matter
Midlife can feel like a storm of change – fluctuating emotions, shifting identity, new stressors, changing intimacy, and the general sense of “Who am I?”
Our workshops give couples the space to slow down, talk honestly, and rebuild connection with practical tools and compassionate guidance.
Expect a warm, grounded approach. No pressure, no awkward sharing. Just real conversations, private reflections and skills you can take into everyday life.
Workshop Format
We offer a few different ways for couples to join us, depending on what feels right for you:
One-Off Online Workshop (90 minutes)
Perfect for couples wanting a reset, a reconnection or a new set of tools to navigate this phase.
A focused, supportive space to understand each other and walk away with clarity and calm.
Four-Week Online Workshop Series
One session per week for 4 weeks.
This is ideal for couples who want to dive deeper, build momentum and integrate the tools gradually.
Each week covers a different theme – communication, emotional connection, intimacy, and moving forward as a team.
In-Person Workshops
A few times a year, we’ll host in-person workshops at select locations.
Dates and venues will be confirmed and announced in advance.
What we explore together
• Understanding perimenopause and its impact on both partners
• Communication that feels safer, softer and more effective
• Reconnecting emotionally when things feel off-balance
• Navigating intimacy changes with compassion
• Making sense of identity shifts and midlife transitions

Everything is grounded in real experience, gentle humour, and a deep respect for how complex, and how beautiful midlife relationships can be.
Who these workshops are for
• Couples who feel a bit disconnected or misunderstood
• Those wanting to grow together rather than drift apart

No drama, no crisis needed – just a willingness to show up and explore together.
