About Us

In 2015, we began offering marital intensives as a way to better prepare couples to manage and find success in their relationships. The Marriage Knot all started as a way to address specific communication needs to help couples connect and move toward a deeper and emotionally driven relationship. We found that when we helped our individual clients develop the ability to share and connect through emotions, they reported more peace, joy, and success in their relationships outside the therapeutic relationship. Thus, began the comprehensive training was designed to teach couples to communicate and connect emotionally to succeed in marriage.
