Something isn't working, and you're tired of trying harder
Couples
- The same fight, different day. You can predict how it ends before it starts.
- One of you pushes, the other shuts down, and you both feel alone in the same house.
- Trust has been broken by an affair or betrayal, and you don't know if you can rebuild it, or how.
- You understand the problem, but insight alone hasn't changed what happens in the moment.
Each of you gets your own coach, so no one wonders whose side we're on.

- Under pressure, you snap, shut down, or try to control everything, and the people closest to you feel it.
- The same patterns keep showing up in your relationships, no matter who you're with.
- You're in a big transition, like a divorce, an empty nest, a career change, or a loss, and you're wondering who you are now.
- You're leading a team or a business, and how you handle stress is costing you at work and at home.
Confidential 1:1 coaching to understand what drives you under pressure and respond with more clarity, in your relationships, your family, and your work.
Explore individual & executive coachingFamilies
- In a blended family, loyalties feel divided, and someone always ends up feeling like an outsider in their own home.
- An inheritance, a business handoff, or a loss has brought old roles and resentments back up.
- A parent and an adult child haven't really spoken in months, or years, and no one knows how to take the first step.
- Someone in the family is struggling with addiction or a crisis, and everyone else is exhausted, scared, or walking on eggshells.

Getting started is simple

A confidential Zoom call with Larissa or Markus. Tell us what's going on. No commitment.
Get matched with your coach
We match you, and your partner or family members, with the coach who fits you best, and help you choose weekly coaching online or a private intensive in person.
Start seeing change
Begin your work with a plan built around you, and your coach's support between sessions.
Insight is the start. Real change is the goal.
Under stress, we all fall back on automatic reactions we learned early in life or during hard seasons: arguing, withdrawing, going quiet, people-pleasing, and many others. They once helped us cope. As adults, they often get in the way of closeness. Most people already understand their history; what's missing is a clear picture of what happens in the moment. That's where we start.
Clarity, quickly
We map your patterns: in specific situations, what sets you off, which feelings come up, and what you do next. Seeing it laid out clearly gives you back a sense of choice.
Solutions
Replace shutting down, escalating, and over-giving with responses that actually work.
Practice
Use the tools in real life, with your coach available between sessions when hard moments come up.
The Pivot Process is a structured, practice-based coaching method. It helps you recognize the survival patterns you learned under stress, understand where they come from, and build your Healthy Adult: the part of you that can respond steadily instead of react.
Two coaches. Two perspectives. One shared goal.
In couples and family work, each person has their own coach and their own advocate. No one wonders whose side the coach is on, so everyone can do their real work.
