The Relationship Bliss Couple’s Retreat in Costa Rica!
…Embark On The Ultimate Relationship Reviving Journey.
Jan 19-26, 2024
Do you long to have — or return to — a strong, healthy, balanced, and fun relationship with your partner?
Many couples are struggling to find the passion, connection, and compatibility in their relationships.
Couples with children are also experiencing unexpected difficulties as a result of their relationship issues. When children are not seeing a loving, respectful, and happy relationship modeled, their development cannot fully thrive. All children deserve to see their parents in a strong and healthy relationship.
Your connection with your partner is the most intimate bond that you have. Having a strong relationship is the key to living the remainder of your life in happiness. That’s why devoting your most important resource — your time — is the best personal investment you can make.
If you know that your relationship needs help, you may not know the best place to find expert assistance.

Our commitment to you for this retreat:
- We want to see your couple win! Your commitment to each other is the key.
- No kids, no work, no distractions. Nothing to do but reconnect.
- Focused communication and intimacy workshops, combined with private couple therapy sessions, will set you up to learn, grow, and evolve into your best couple.
- The intensive nature of this retreat can replace up to six months of private therapy, produce longer lasting results, and change your lives!
Your personalized success plan:
Marie-Claire will get to know you and your partner before the retreat by meeting online.
- We will answer your questions, discuss any specific needs or requirements you may have, and align expectations.
- You will start by completing the internationally acclaimed Gottman’s Check-Up Test.
- Marie-Claire will analyze the results to help you identify your strengths as a couple and uncover areas that could be improved.
- They will also identify relationship risks and will suggest changes to fill out your success plan.

“It’s been a blessing to have MC as our relationship coach. It’s always a bit scary to tackle issues and pursue healing. However, MC made it easy, safe and judgement free. She gave us the tools we didn’t have in our communication toolbox that has helped us thrive instead of just trying to survive.
She has a lot of clinical knowledge and personal wisdom she’s shared with us to allow us to grow as a couple.
Not only is she amazing at what she does, she’s also very passionate about what she does!
She’s given us something we weren’t able to give to ourselves and that’s Hope. Thanks MC!“
