Authentic Love and Connection in Relationships
6 Session Live Online Course
Love them or hate them relationships are unavoidable.
At birth we’re dependent on parents and care takers. Then follows a stream relationships; siblings, friends, teachers, house-mates, bosses, colleagues, neighbors, spouses, children….
Studies show that good relationships support wellbeing, longevity, mental and physical health.
But if relationships are so integral to the human experience why can they be a source of intense pain, grief, tension and conflict?
“What you react to in other people is what needs healing in you.”
In this course we’ll explore how the true purpose of relationships is to create a catalyst for healing and awakening. When we open to this understanding relationships become deeply fulfilling, loving and nurturing.
I had no idea my people pleasing behavior was wearing me out. I thought other people were! I was disappointed over and over when I went the extra mile to give people what I thought they wanted but got nothing in return, no thanks, appreciation or respect.
It was tough to question my desire to please others because it looked like the right thing to do. But I began to see that my people pleasing behavior came from a buried belief of being un-lovable and had nothing to do with the other person.
This insight has been totally liberating. I no longer wear myself out by people pleasing or feel dejected if I’m rejected. My motivation is now clear. My desire to share and be generous is real, authentic and powerful because comes from my heart not my subconscious neediness.

The relationship fast track
Modern culture portrays ‘other’ people as the source of love and happiness.
But this idea is misleading.
When this belief is believed relationships become a precarious activity of trying to get love, approval, and happiness from others.
A relationship might be going well and then turns into conflict. Other relationships skim the surface and never satisfy.
Ultimately, the belief that ‘other’ people are the source of love and happiness leads to pain, exhaustion, anger and disappointment.
“All relationships reflect the degree to which you are rooted and grounded in the truth of your being.”
The real gift of relationships is to realize that love and happiness exist at the core of your being.
This simple yet profound understanding ends seeking love and happiness ‘out there’ from other people and allows you to engage in relationships grounded in the presence, clarity and love of your true nature.
Instead of seeking love, relationships become an opportunity to express love and happiness without fear.
I’ve grappled with and explored the purpose of relationships throughout my personal and professional life and I’d love to share my understanding of authentic relationships with you.
The Heart of Relationships
A six-session live online course to nurture authentic love and connection in relationships.
Strange but true; we are immersed in relationships from birth (some would say before) but are not handed a relationship manual at birth, if ever.
The knowledge about how to have healthy, loving relationships is taken for granted. It’s assumed that other people will always want the best for us.
But, how we relate to other people is intricately related to our perception of who we are. To create loving and nourishing relationships we need to heal and integrate distorted beliefs about who we think we are. Then it becomes possible to enter into relationships free of the limited ego-story-of-me identity.
My intention for this course is to provide a foundational understanding which supports a shift away from ego based relating to relating consciously from an anchored understanding of your true Self.
The course is a combination of live online meetings, video reflections, group and 1-1 guidance, exercises to expand your awareness and an individual coaching session to integrate your understanding.
I’d always felt out of place in social situations. I felt inadequate and weak. To compensate I tried to impress people, or avoided interacting all together. I didn’t have friends and didn’t even feel confident talking to neighbors.
Fiona showed me how to dissolve beliefs and lies I’d adopted which kept me stuck in painful patterns. When this happened my experience and relationship behavior began to change all by itself.
I feel confident now to voice my ideas in meetings with my boss and colleagues. I talk more openly with my wife and children to resolve issues rather than avoid them. I even found myself initiating a conversation with new neighbors and enjoyed it. The changes seem kind of magical because I didn’t try to change, I just began interacting differently, naturally.
~Tim
My intention for what you’ll gain from the course:
- Healing and freedom from painful relationship patterns.
- Discernment of authentic love and connection versus insecure ego relating.
- Confidence to transform conflict with others.
- An understanding of authentic boundaries and intimacy.
- Deep transformative listening.
- The ability to be present, real, and authentic in relationships.
What this course is….and is not:
This course is not a ‘manifest your soul mate’ kind of course. It won’t teach a shopping list of strategies to attract your perfect mate.
It is designed to set you free of limiting, painful relationship patterns to become receptive and open for existing and new relationships to become authentic, grounded, loving and fulfilling.
It is not comprised of communication practices, boundary setting techniques or intimacy strategies.
It is designed to facilitate a profound shift in your sense of who and what you are – to experience the wholeness of your true nature – and reveal how to share your authentic self with others.
It is not just for people who have a partner.
It is for anyone who wants to experience greater harmony, depth and fresh possibilities in their current and past relationships.
It is not for people who want to change other people.
It is designed to support healing and transformation of beliefs and perceptions that obscure your deep knowing about how to navigate relationships from love and wisdom.
About Fiona
I was a naturally sensitive and empathic child. I intuitively sensed pain and suffering. But this wasn’t easy.
One of my earliest memories was that the dynamics in my family were not ‘right’. I sensed the pain of my parents relationship but felt helpless.
My parents meant well but the message that relationships are for sharing love and care was not clearly communicated.
By the time I was a teenager I felt awkward and frustrated. I was afraid of what others thought of me. I withdrew from relationships in fear of messing things up.
At the same time I had a strong desire to understand how life worked and turned my attention to psychology, spirituality and ideas about consciousness and reality. As an adult I studied with leading teachers of spiritual awakening and healing.
My studies, and work with clients, led to a profound understanding of our true nature; how everything in life, including difficult relationships, awaken the realization of who we really are and what love is.
I’m deeply grateful to have explored the purpose of relationships with thousands of people in my work. And thankful for all of my relationships, especially the tough ones, where I’ve opened to the healing on offer to discover true intimacy, trust and connection.
I wish this for you: that you discover how relationships lead you to the truth of who you are and open a doorway into authentic love, harmony and connection.
The understanding Fiona shares is clear and totally practical.
I was clueless about how relationships work. It’s no wonder I ended up in painful messes over and over again.
Now that I understand what relationships are really for my relationship life is one hundred percent different – and it keeps getting better. I pinch myself because I can’t believe how much trust, connection, and fun I’m having in my relationships.
Even with old friends and my ex-husband, who haven’t changed, I’m relating differently because I’m no longer triggered into days on end of frustration, anger and resentment.
I’ve had massive insights, and release, from patterns passed down my family line. Now, I’m standing my ground, open and receptive, no longer afraid to speak up for myself for fear of rejection.
Above all, I’m more intimate with myself. I feel what I really feel without being afraid. I’m listening to my heart, not my insecure thoughts about being alone. Forgiveness for myself and others comes naturally. I’m closer with my son, too – which gives me huge relief because I was afraid of passing my relationship mess onto him. And, for the first time, I’m know I’m open, in an authentic way, to meet a new partner.

I thought I had a permanent anger issue which I tried to keep suppressed. But with my husband, in particular, I’d get really angry and we’d end up in a shouting match. He would then storm off and I’d be left feeling empty and frustrated.
My work with Fiona led me to examine feelings underneath my anger and something shifted. In the middle of an argument with my husband it was as though a crack opened up. I suddenly saw the illusion of the pattern I was caught in and I stopped reacting. My anger dropped, literally. And I saw the whole thing was made up by my mind.
Right in front of my eyes my husband shape shifted and I knew he was my perfect teacher. I realized that the way my husband appeared in the illusion was to teach me to let go over and over – to dissolve my unconscious beliefs. When the shift happened he appeared totally different and my heart opened and I fell back in love with him.

I had a huge ‘aha’ when I saw how the power plays in my family were a drama, not a real thing. After that the need to try to get other people’s approval dropped away. I don’t know how but somehow this also led to a huge shift with my eating issue. My body has literally released this habit from deep inside. I feel this viscerally not just psychologically.
I’m much more comfortable in my body and less emotionally reactive. It feels great to be in relationships as an organic flow rather than trying to control them.
– Christina
“I was riddled with guilt about being absent during my daughters childhood due to alcohol addiction. She resented me which I felt I deserved. I was afraid to to talk with her to heal our relationship.
Fiona helped me see how guilt was an attempt to punish myself, and how it held back my love. When the guilt resolved I felt waves of compassion for her and me. This shift felt deeply healing.
Now I feel courageous around my daughter. She sensed the shift in me and dropped her anger. We’ve grown closer. We’ve even talked about the difficult years and have cried together for how hard it was for both of us. Our relationship is softening and, dare I say, becoming more fun.”
