Give your marriage the foundation to flourish!

Prepare for Marriage & Enrich your Marriage with Leanne: A one of a kind experience for every couple from dating to decades married! This will boost your relationship skills and satisfaction as it creates curiosity, stimulates dialogue, and increases awareness within your relationship.

Prepare/Enrich is not your ordinary marriage prep or enrichment assessment. This assessment tailors itself to the unique stage and structure of your relationship. You each will answer questions on an assessment tailored by you. Once completed, Leanne will reach out to schedule your initial session. Sessions are available in person at my Scottsdale clinic and via Zoom. Flexible scheduling – weekend and evening times available each month. Choose one session up to three hours or divide into three 1-hour sessions. $349.00

The personalized nature of this exercise creates a one-of-a-kind experience for every couple – those considering marriage, those now engaged, and those currently married. Most importantly, according to studies done by the Prepare/Enrich assessment provider, this exercise alone lowers couples’ risk of divorce by 31%. Through this assessment, Leanne’s experience (including being married since 1989) and her supplemental materials, you will learn your strength and growth areas, steps for resolving conflict, how to best apologize (most times it’s different for each of you), and how to truly forgive.

Prepare/Enrich with Leanne will help you strengthen connections, navigate challenges, and thrive in your relationship. Leanne has worked with this assessment for over five years. It is the most researched couples’ assessment in the world and is featured in over 1,800 academic journal articles.

Through this assessment and coaching with Leanne, you will obtain personalized insights and develop relationship skills to foster meaningful, positive change.

Married May 1989 on a day that started with snow, transitioned to rain and clouds and ended with sunshine! Just like my wedding day, my marriage journey has been met with varied weather: loss of parents, children, cancer, stroke, eating Birthday cake for breakfast and worn underwear that just cannot make it to the dirty laundry bin. I will share insights of how we have maintained and preserved joy and intimacy (stubbornness and humor).

I have a certificate in Marriage and Family from Life University and am a professional life and mental health coach. I own and operate Holistic Emotional Therapy.
In the early years of children, I chose to stay at home and our children were homeschooled into Big Ten colleges. After retiring from homeschooling, I opened the first neurofeedback clinic in Indianapolis. I have coached couples through Prepare/Enrich since 2020 and, being a Purdue University alum, I love the scientific detail and thoroughness of this assessment.

I applaud you for this commitment. You’ll find this a solid foundation for the wonderful gift and ride of marriage. I commit to being authentic, available and transparent.
