hat we talk and listen to one another, and we are feeling more connected because of it. Kara gave us a lot of great information and helped us look at our situations in ways we hadn't before so that we could come up with good solutions. I would definitely recommend going to Kara for premarital counseling and attending her workshop!

ancing instructional time, exercises and personal feedback. I highly recommend this course to any couple looking to strengthen their relationship!

now what to expect going into it but we both LOVED the experience. Kara taught us different communication techniques and ways to understand each other better. We came out of this experience feeling stronger and closer to one another and find ourselves using these techniques on a daily basis. Even if you feel confident in the way you currently communicate, I highly recommend taking this course to improve even further and make your relationship even stronger. Kara was wonderful - nonjudgemental and truly just a third party source to learn from and bounce ideas off of. We never felt like she was taking sides and guys, my fiancé actually enjoyed our time here. His mind was blown during several topics and is recommending this to others, even the non-believers! We both give her two-thumbs up and look forward to returning to her when we are expecting our first child! :)

The Gottman method teaches the key principles to creating and maintaining a strong and healthy relationship. The workshop had many breakout sessions and activities and was much more engaging than sitting through a lecture. The facility was nice and Kara definitely won't let you go hungry! She provides her couples with the knowledge and confidence to apply the principles when you leave her class. Kara is a wonderful teacher, she makes everyone feel safe and comfortable and you can easily see she is passionate about what she does. We will definitely recommend Kara Shades course to family and friends!

s, tips and tricks to help us through just about any situation or problem. On top of that, Kara expertly broke down some of the things that were keeping is from realizing our relationship's full potential with wonderful examples from her own relationship and from her studies. Kara is a great communicator, fun and personable. If we ever need a refresher on some of the points we learned, there's no question that we will reach out to her.
