In the last 10+ years, I’ve supported thousands of people as a professional relationship coach through my private practice and live courses.

I created ‘Babyproofing Your Relationship’ because I saw how clients, friends, family members, and my wife and I struggled through those early parenthood years. I also saw what actually worked when it came to overcoming those common pitfalls and strengthening the connection between couples.

Everyone deserves to feel prepared for this new stage of life—not just with baby bumpers, but with the foundational principles and practices that protect your romantic relationship and grow your partnership.
