Love Sessions 8:00p-9:00p:
These sessions are built to open the door to conversations that go untouched. What energy am I bringing into the relationship? What are my boundaries and how do I efficiently communicate them with my partner? What does a toxic relationship look like? How do I pick up on red flags? Through these sessions there will be conversations not lectures about how to provide yourself with some TLC and making sure you are at your best to be good partner for your next or current relationship.
