Explore and practice with “mock” couples to experience the power of these new tools
I’ve been there – that scared sinking feeling of self doubt when I didn’t know what to do next, or what step to take that would most support the couple.
Whether you’re just starting out, or suddenly facing a situation that you’ve never dealt with before, fear can take over and rattle your confidence. You will learn a proven path with tools and frameworks that will not only boost your confidence, but that of your couples.
They will have tangible tools they can use at home – and you will feel like you’ve made a difference.
Hi, I’m Dr. Julie Colwell. And I believe that working with couples can be invigorating and satisfying.
Having seen hundreds of couples over three decades, as well as teaching a multitude of workshops and classes, I found myself moving away from the traditional approaches I had learned, into one that was more effective, fulfilling – and fun!
What resulted is my three books, The Relationship Ride, The Relationship Skills Workbook, and the Inner Map, that address power dynamics in relationships and how to work with them directly and effectively.
I am the founder and director of the Evolutionary Power Institute, where I and other faculty teach tools to recognize and move out of the reactivity that underlies all power struggles, and then follow a clear path back to creativity and connection.
My sessions now with couples feels rich and deeply gratifying. My hope for you is you can have as much fun with couples work as I do.
I have successfully trained coaches and practitioners for decades in my model and framework, generating tangible growth in their clients and long-term sustainability in their practice
I went into couples work to make a difference.
I realized my traditional training was creating a cycle where couples would waste 6 months talking about who to blame and how to “fix” each other.
Now I feel confident and empowered to make a real difference with the couples I’m working with in a way that opens up a world of play, empowerment and laughter. My practice is thriving and I get to support couples actually “seeing” each other again, maybe for the first time in years.
