RECONNECT TO LOVE

A self paced course designed to transform the wounds that keep you trapped in patterns of disconnection, and call in the conscious, secure love your soul deeply knows is possible.

If somewhere in your body, you can feel the quiet whisper of what true safety in love might feel like... even if just for a fleeting moment, then this path is calling to you.

After years as a therapist...

I can't tell you how many people I see that wonder why they keep repeating the same unhealthy relationship patterns. They feel like they're stuck watching a movie where they know the ending, but can't look away.

​

Perhaps you've felt the painful cycle repeating itself like a shadow that follows you from relationship to relationship...

THE ECHOES OF WOUNDED LOVE: 

Shutting down during conflict...

When conflict arises, you feel your throat tighten and your voice disappear. Your body becomes a fortress, protecting you from vulnerability while silently building walls that keep real love at bay. Even with a supportive partner, bringing up problems feels impossible. You watch as resentment builds inside you, a quiet tide rising against your shore.

Chasing unavailable partners...

Perhaps you're drawn to partners who can't fully show up. You pride yourself on emotional awareness. You recognize the red flags intellectually, but something deeper pulls you toward the familiar dance of pursuing someone who remains just out of emotional reach. Your body carries the memory of this chase, each cell remembering the painful rhythm.

Fearing emotional intimacy...

Then there's that moment when genuine intimacy approaches, when someone truly sees you, and your nervous system floods with signals that feel like danger. Your body responds with alarm instead of the warmth of secure connection. Before you know it, you're creating distance from the very relationship you crave.

Can you relate?

That recognition in your body right now, that "yes" vibrating through your cells, is your body's wisdom speaking.

 

It's saying "finally, someone understands what I've been trying to tell you."

I see you. I hear you. And most importantly, you are not alone in this journey.

 

These patterns aren't your fault. They're your nervous system's attempt to protect you from past hurts. The wounds that live in your body's memory, carried through every relationship, whispering warnings from the past into your present connections.

 

But beneath these protective patterns lies a deeper truth: your body remembers what it feels like to be truly safe in connection. Reconnect to Love was born to help you find your way back to that feeling, to transform your relationship with yourself and others from the inside out.

INTRODUCING RECONNECT TO LOVE:

A self-paced course designed specifically for busy individuals who want to transform their relationship patterns at their own pace, in their own space.

This unique program combines my expertise as a licensed therapist with powerful somatic experiencing techniques that work directly with your nervous system—where these patterns actually live.

Each audio session is like having a personal guide with you, helping your body recognize and release old protective patterns, making space for the secure love you've always wanted but couldn't quite access.

What Students Are Saying

Dana_Colthart-0102.jpg
“Overall, the exercises have helped me become more in tune with my body. I’ve been able to recognize physical sensations that I previously couldn’t connect with intellectually. For example, while reading about avoidant or anxious attachment is informative, noticing how my body reacts—like feeling tightness or activation in certain situations—has been particularly helpful. It’s improved my awareness of how my nervous system responds.”

Dana, Reconnect Student

I can show you how to do this because I am a licensed therapist, (LCSW), a Somatic Practitioner, an Attachment and trauma expert with over 10 years of experience.

Not so long ago I became aware of my own attachment style (anxious) and realized that my relationship patterns were keeping me trapped in repetitive cycles, holding me back from having the love I craved.

 

I currently use the somatic experiencing AND attachment repatterning tools I’m teaching you in Reconnect to heal my attachment wounds and navigate conflict in my marriage. As a result I have a healthy blueprint for navigating a marriage with a more avoidant leaning partner; something I never thought possible before doing nervous system work.

​

I designed this program for all the women who were the past versions of me because these tools are exactly what I needed back then when I was trying to chase partners who were unavailable “love me”.

I want you to understand which wounded parts are showing up, causing you to repeat the same frustrating cycle in your relationships, because what repeats is incomplete.

This means that once you learn to complete the healing of childhood wounds living in your nervous system, you stop repeating the patterns that keep you in unhealthy relationships. 

 

This changed everything for me when it came to my partnership, and it will for you too. It's how I have the healthy, loving marriage I have today. 

 

Being able to trust the messages in your body is the missing link. When you do, you'll be able to step out of those repetitive cycles of trying to “fix” what you never received when you were younger. 

 

Through the somatic exercises in Reconnect to Love, you'll heal these attachment wounds and discover how to create the secure, loving connection your heart has been longing for all along.

What's Included:

01

Four Transformative Modules:

These modules will teach you to re-pattern your attachment style, heal your nervous system, set strong boundaries, identify red flags, and create the courage, confidence and safety to NO.  You'll be able to walk away from partners who are not what you want and you'll know when a relationship is right for you but just needs repair. 

 

Self paced modules make it easy for you to move through this course in your own time, without feeling overwhelmed by deadlines or completion dates. You'll be able to come back and relisten to trainings when you're experiencing challenges in dating or relationships to get the support you need to move through any difficult sensations or experiences.

This is where the change IS FELT! As soon as you join Reconnect you also get access to a comprehensive suit of daily audio training sessions that will help you heal your nervousness and RECONNECT to yourself so you can create strong, loving connections in your relationship. 

 

The audio exercises are extremely powerful. They give you hands-on learning to embody new patterns in your relationships so you can feel confident and safe as you experience, secure love. 

03

Four Reflection and Growth Workbooks:

In order to truly anchor in the concepts you’re learning inside Reconnect, you’ll need to have a place for reflection, note taking and visual learning. This is why I've designed the reflection workbook to make it easy for you to reinforce what you’re learning in sections, aligned to each module and training. 

 

This will be your companion guide as you heal your nervous system and create new loving relationships. It's something you can always come back to, to see how much you’ve grown in your journey to healthy love.

THEN RECONNECT TO LOVE WAS MADE FOR YOU!

Healthy Love Option 5.jpg

Just like this student who used RECONNECT TO LOVE to become secure and come back to her power! 

When she first joined Reconnect to Love, she was caught in a painful cycle. Every time her partner pulled away, she'd freeze up completely. Her words would get stuck in her throat, unable to express even simple needs.

"I was constantly in my head, overanalyzing everything," she shared. "I thought if I could find the right words or be less emotional, he would finally understand me. But I kept disappearing into silence instead."

She was stuck in a situationship. Whenever she tried to have a serious conversation, her body screamed with tightness in her throat, a clenched jaw, and a racing heart.

Through Reconnect to Love's somatic exercises, she began to understand why her body kept freezing during difficult conversations. She learned to pause and notice: Was her chest tight? Heart racing? These weren't just anxiety – they were her body's way of highlighting what really mattered.

Each week, she could stay present a little longer instead of disconnecting. She discovered how to feel her emotions without getting lost in them.

Eventually, she found the courage to leave the situationship. Her repeating pattern had been the fear of appearing needy when expressing her needs, but now she could feel the difference between anxiety and genuine intuition.​​

​

Soon after, she met someone who saw her for who she truly was. For the first time, she didn't have to analyze every word before speaking or brace for rejection when sharing feelings. She could just be present, knowing she's truly safe. 

 

Empowered, she opened her heart to receive the love she knew she deserved.

Just IMAGINE what you could experience with similar tools.

Reconnect to Love isn't just a course—it's a pathway to unlocking the ability to recognize secure and healthy relationship.

I invite you to imagine the kind of love that’s possible for you…
Close your eyes and feel into the relationship that awaits you on the other side of this healing journey: Y
 
ou wake each morning feeling the gentle presence of safety in your body, no longer bracing for disappointment or abandonment, but resting in the quiet certainty that you are held in love.
 
When your heart speaks its truth, whether in joy, desire, or concern, your voice flows freely, knowing your partner treasures your authenticity as the most precious gift you could offer.
 
Conflict no longer triggers ancient alarms of danger, but becomes a natural dance of growth.
 
Two souls committed to understanding, repair, and deeper connection.
 
Your body recognizes the resonance of this secure love, not as something foreign or fleeting, but as the natural state your nervous system has always longed to return to. Your true home.
 
This isn't a fantasy. This is the healing that awaits when you reconnect to love.
