Navigating a mismatch in libido

Before I met Rosa my partner and I were struggling with sexual intimacy. He always had a higher sex drive than me and it got to the point where we were doubting our compatibility.

Working with Rosa has given us the perspective and the tools to navigate this painful dynamic and put an end to it. Now we’re both happy and satisfied with our sex life. We have regular sex dates, speak openly about intimacy, can easily voice our fears and desires without fear that the other person will get triggered.

Rosa did such an amazing job at seeing both of us deeply and compassionately. The sessions felt light and fun although deep topics were processed during our time together.

Rosa is such a joy to work with and she help us transform our relationship in the most beautiful way.

Rediscovering each other

My husband and I felt like we had given up on certain things—sex, intimacy, those deep and meaningful conversations that fostered mutual understanding and made us feel like we could truly be ourselves. In our 40s, we mainly saw each other as the choice we made in the past, not necessarily the choice we would make now. We loved each other but felt like we had lost a part of ourselves along the way; we were great at running our household but not so much at being lovers.

Then, we found Rosa through a friend, and everything changed. With her help, we rediscovered each other, reconnecting in ways we never thought possible. We are more attracted to each other now than ever before, and our intimate life has improved immensely. Rosa also taught us how to “fight” better. Instead of having the same arguments over and over again, we’ve learned to listen and understand each other. We truly see each other again; we touch each other with so much intent and presence. We also learned that it’s okay to make mistakes and how to repair them.

Rosa’s approach is so much more than the “normal” couples therapy. We had seen three therapists without success before we met her. She taught us to connect with our bodies, minds, and hearts and to hold each other through better or worse.

Untangling the mess of opening up

Without Rosa, we wouldn’t be together anymore. She helped us untangle the mess we made of opening up our relationship, which simply didn’t work and hurt us both. Her clear, no-nonsense guidance and sense of humour were invaluable. We’d seen other therapists before but working with Rosa was surprisingly fun. Highly recommended.

Safe and supported with lots of laughter

Rosa is an amazing coach. She integrates her own experience with different coaching techniques and embodied practices. What really stands out is how save and held we felt in her in her presence and that there was a lot of laughter. She showed an incredible flexibility and presence when we got off track and started blaming each other. Rosa was able to address our individual needs / feelings and our desire as a couple. We highly recommend her as a coach.

Rediscovering connection and addressing core problems

After many years together, my partner and I began facing challenges that put our relationship to the test. We felt a growing distance and struggled with intimate issues that we couldn’t resolve on our own. Fortunately, we connected with Rosa through friends. Her warm approach and professional guidance greatly helped us dive deeper into our relationship and address the core of our problems. With understanding and patience, Rosa helped us listen to each other better and understand our needs. Now, we feel more connected than ever before. Thanks to Rosa, we have learned how to grow together and strengthen our relationship. Thank you for your help and guidance Rosa!

Rediscovering the spark

We came to Rosa because we wanted more sexual intimacy and to reignite the sexual spark between us, a spark that had faded after an intense and stressful period in our lives. These were quite intimate and vulnerable topics, but Rosa made us feel comfortable from the start. She had an incredible ability to sense and articulate the dynamics between us, often saying things that were spot-on from the get-go.

Rosa guided us through beautiful processes and practices that brought us closer together, allowing us to communicate honestly and deeply for the first time in a long time. The practices we did at home between sessions were amazing, with clear instructions that made them easy to follow. Some of these practices are now our go-to methods for connecting during stressful times. Rosa helped us establish a new foundation that we can rely on for a long time. Thank you, Rosa, for your support. We truly enjoyed our time with you and the valuable insights we gained.

Rediscovering each other, despite migraines.

My husband and I sought help because my migraines were ruining our relationship. Due to my frequent attacks, I often had a short temper and lost interest in sex. Rosa taught us to talk to each other again and, more importantly, to have mutual understanding. This made the topic of ‘sex’ less heavy and loaded between us. 

Initially, I had no interest in our weekly ‘intimate dates.’ We discussed this a lot with Rosa, and after a few attempts, I no longer felt pressured to perform. These dates actually became a pleasant time each week to rediscover each other. It worked! We are happy together again. Rosa’s friendly, warm and empathetic nature made it easy to discuss our intimate life. She helped us enormously. I don’t know if we would still be together if it weren’t for our sessions with her.

Finally talking about sexuality

We’d really like to thank Rosa for helping us create a safe foundation of communicating about our intimate needs. I was amazed by how simple exercises like ‘’fears, desires, loves’’ can make you feel that much more connected

Enhancing intimacy and improving communication with online sessions

Both of us were busy with our work and social lives, which were abruptly altered by COVID. As a result, after 11 years together, we realized we needed some support with our communication and enhancing our intimacy and sexuality. We found Rosa and both immediately connected with her. Through Zoom, we had a year of coaching sessions with her, structured with a good progression of sessions and enjoyable, sometimes exciting assignments to bring us closer together. Rosa consistently created a positive and safe atmosphere for both of us. She also picked up on things quickly and really made us see what was going on between us. 

We’re incredibly grateful to Rosa for her coaching approach, which has significantly strengthened our relationship in every aspect! So, thank you, dear Rosa, for your invaluable help!

Rediscovering love and connection

My partner and I hit a (long) rough patch in our relationship, grappling with a significant mismatch in our sexual desires. While I craved intimacy, my partner seemed disinterested, which led to frustration and resentment between us. We felt stuck and didn’t know how to move forward. Working with Rosa was truly life-changing! Her warm, empathetic approach made us feel understood from the very first session. She provided insightful guidance that helped us navigate through our communication barriers, addressing the core of our intimacy issues. With her support, we not only found common ground but also reignited the passion in our relationship. Today, we’re closer than ever, both emotionally and physically, all thanks to Rosa’s expertise! She helped us see each other in a new light and rediscover the love and connection we thought we had lost. We cannot recommend her enough!

Connection after 26 years together

Every time we leave after our sessions with you, it’s like a ritual now. We look at each other and marvel, “She’s really something, isn’t she? She handles everything so incredibly well.”

You bring us together in ways we never expected. Sometimes, after 26 years together, it feels like we’re speaking different languages—one Russian, the other Chinese—but you effortlessly bridge those gaps. You know exactly which words to use, when to speak, and when silence is more powerful than words.

Your ability to create a warm, understanding atmosphere is unparalleled. We find ourselves riding away, hand in hand, feeling optimistic and ready to face whatever comes next. Thank you for being more than just a guide; you’re an inspiration—a beacon of connection and wisdom.

With gratitude, we eagerly embark on the next part of this transformative journey.

Successful opening up

Entering our 40s, we realized our relationship needed a new dynamic. With Rosa’s guidance, we explored non-monogamy. It wasn’t easy, but her support and expertise helped us navigate uncharted territory with grace. 

Step by step, we created clear rules that worked for both of us. With open communication and new connecting skills, we managed to feel stronger, more honest, and more together, all thanks to Rosa’s invaluable help in this journey.

Rediscovering intimacy for new parents

Transitioning into parenthood brought joy but also unexpected challenges, especially in our intimacy. Painful sex, low libido, and frustration became unwelcome guests in our relationship after welcoming our baby a year ago. We were lost until we found Rosa. With her warm and skilful guidance and unwavering support, we managed to overcome this. Rosa helped us to address the root causes of our intimacy issues with compassion and understanding. Today, we’re thrilled to say that things are playful again! Thanks to Rosa, we’ve rediscovered the joy in our connection, and our love feels stronger than ever.

Saving our marriage

Rosa helped us to reconnect. We were in a very dark place and constantly fighting. Her counselling and care saved our marriage. We feel more together, and we are actually having better sex then when we met. Our life has completely changed for the better after working with Rosa.

Renewed passion and intimacy

After over two decades together, our once vibrant sex life had dwindled, leaving us feeling disconnected. Rosa provided a safe space to address our concerns. With her guidance, we uncovered underlying issues and found practical solutions. Now, we’re experiencing renewed passion and intimacy. Grateful for Rosa’s support!
