Coming home after a long day to a messy house your partner had promised to clean = an immediate blow-up OR a slow simmer that explodes two hours later over a misplaced coffee cup.
You argue a lot more these days than you ever had in the past and the unresolved issues are starting to outnumber the shoes in your closet.
When it comes time to communicate to your partner what you really need and want, either everything you’d meant to say comes out a jumbled mess or you chicken out entirely.
You don’t want to rock the boat (it always seems to be a bad idea) so you keep things inside and the resentment grows.
You know you KNOW better, but you keep repeating negative relationship patterns and have no idea how to do it differently.
You’ve tried every tactic you can think of to get them to hear you and it’s like throwing spaghetti at a wall—every now and then something sticks but never for long.
You just wish you knew how to handle conflicts more effectively and respectfully because you want to have stronger relationships with the other important people in your life, too.
You may be feeling frustration and resentment that are pushing the goal of you and your partner getting back to the way you once were further away from reality.
However… one thing I want you to know is that conflict in relationships is NORMAL.
BUT your arguments don't have to turn into a battlefield of egos, personal attacks or uncontrolled emotional storms.
To be truly heard by your partner when you are angry at them.
To handle yourself with calm and confidence, especially in the heat of the moment.
To express your deepest needs to your partner and be vulnerable without fear of being judged or called needy.
To be validated by them even though your behavior looks like a child throwing a temper tantrum in front of a candy store.

with my amazing couples, students and clients; invaluable trainings from renowned experts in couples therapy; and years of personal experiences with conflicts and break-ups.
I truly had to dig deeper into my inner being when I would get triggered by my loved ones and learn how to move into a space of love and peace so we could reach compromise and resolution. It took years of clinical training and therapy practice and my own personal and spiritual growth to be able to handle my relationship conflicts the way I handle them now. I am beyond excited to share my unique 7-Step Bridge to Connection process with you.
As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Integrative Healer, and the founder of Creating Lasting Connections Therapy Center and Velini Academy, I work with individuals and couples who would like to transform and deepen their relationship with themselves and others and authentically reconnect with the part of themselves that may have become lost in the demands of the society or gotten reshaped by various experiences in their lives.
My goal is to help you create more loving and fulfilling relationships and more of the life you desire regardless of your obstacles—whether you have experienced trauma in the past, betrayal, disappointments and losses, whether you feel hopeless and helpless right now, whether you have a successful career or not. You have the capacity to heal and live a more meaningful life.

Even though From Conflict to Ultimate Love™ program is all about relationships and how you can create a better and more loving relationship with your partner or your loved one, IT IS NOT designed for couples to attend together. The exercises are very deep and designed for individual advancement and growth.
This program is about YOU as you are the change maker in your life and relationship. In order to have love and connection we have to create that love within first. Going through the program will give you a perspective of what you need to change or modify so you can handle conflicts more lovingly and mindfully.

If you go through the entire 6-week program, complete your exercises, participate in live group calls and still don’t make a dramatic shift in how you handle your relationship misunderstandings, we’ll give you a full refund.
I might consider launching this program again at some point in the future. But if I do, I won’t be offering the live relationship coaching that’s included in this version of the course. This means that this is your ONLY chance to get live coaching from me to assist you directly with your personal relationship struggles so you can get the results you want much sooner.
If you’re still on the fence about signing up now, here’s what I want you to ask yourself: “What makes me want to put my relationship success and connection with my loved one on the back burner now?” When you answer this question, really be honest with yourself.
Now think about this: If you don’t do anything to change your relationship, what will it look like a year from now? If you just felt a pit form in your stomach, that’s your answer.
You see, fear of the worst-case scenario won’t help you here, but making the time and effort to commit to change will make a difference. Although I can’t make the decision for you, I’d love to see you in this course sooner rather than later because I know firsthand what conflict can do to a relationship when it’s allowed to fester or grow instead of being effectively managed in a timely way. I’ve also seen it happen to hundreds of couples over the years, and it breaks my heart every time.
I don’t want you to become just another statistic. I want you to be happy and enjoy the love you deserve. So let’s work to make this change today! I’d love to see you on the inside of the program and share my 7-Step Bridge to Connection Formula that will help you move from conflict to deeper connection, love, and understanding.
I know you’ve got lots on your plate right now. Trust me--I do. But tell me this: Will there ever be a better time to work on your relationship? Will you finally have time when the kids go to college, finish school, or get older? Will you have more time to dedicate to your relationship when you have more money or less work? You know as well as I do that life will always happen. There is always going to be something else that might seem to be more important than your own happiness, than your own peace, than your own love and connection with the person you love. But here’s the TRUTH: We all have time when we WANT to create the time! In most cases, it’s not external circumstances or money that holds us back from experiencing more love and happiness—it’s our own belief system, our own fears and insecurities, our own resistance, our own lower ego, and our own lack of self-worth. I invite you to look at these barriers and take the first step that will break this cycle of “I’LL DO IT WHEN…”
If you still think that you don’t have the time to commit to this program, here’s what I want you to think about: Are you or your relationship truly going to be okay if you leave this for some other time? If you can answer this question with a loud and clear “yes,” that’s great! You might not need this course right now. But if you can’t, think about what you might lose by putting off this opportunity to work on your relationship.
Although I completely understand the busy schedule you may have or other valid reasons for taking time away from you and your relationship, true success in any relationship occurs when we nurture it, create time for it, and commit to it. One of the major reasons for skyrocketing divorce rates in the United States is a lack of time. People simply stopped prioritizing their relationship, thinking that it would just last forever. It would be great if this was how relationships worked. But unfortunately, we are humans with needs and desires and have quite valid expectations from our partners to have them fulfilled. When our needs aren’t met, we simply aren’t happy. One thing that I found while working with many couples over the years is that all of them wanted to be happy but most of them either avoided real communication and made ineffective attempts to repair their connection or didn’t want to put in the work to learn new skills on how to truly make their relationship better. Thus, the couples that I see in my office usually make that phone call when it’s almost too late to rescue anything, the damage is huge, and disconnect seems irreparable. This makes me very sad every time as I know that it didn’t have to be that way.
The biggest reason I created this course is to prevent relationships from dissolving and to give you the tools to help you manage conflict in a way that will help you connect with rather than disconnect from your partner. It’ll help you get clarity on what’s damaging your bond and what you can do to have effective, peaceful, and loving conversations that will make a difference. That’s what I want for you. You deserve it!
We’re all afraid of change. Sometimes, I am too. Every time I need to do something that I’ve never done before, I feel a bit scared. This is completely normal. When we know deep down that the change is good for us, all we need to do is take it one step at a time and move forward regardless of the fear we may experience along the way. If your goal is to have a deeper and more fulfilling relationship, let this goal be in your “navigation system” at all times. And instead of turning away or changing directions too soon because of fear, let that navigation system guide you and trust that it will let you know when you need to make a specific turn or go back for a little bit. Trust that it will take you to the right place, whatever that means for you, one step at a time. And know that most of the time, the change we fear is the change we need the most.
Remember that because this course is for YOU, the more you work on yourself and create positive changes within yourself, the better your relationship will be. When you change the way you dance, it will change the way your partner responds to your dance moves ☺. In other words, when you change your own vibration, it will change the vibration of your relationship and that of the people around you.
If you’re still scared, keep in mind that you won’t be alone. I’ll be here to guide you every step of the way. And I’ll even let you in on a little secret: during Week 3, we’ll talk about how to rise above fear and negativity and what your available antidotes are. Stay tuned!
From Conflict to Ultimate Love is an educational program, not a therapy program. So if you’re in an abusive relationship, either physically or emotionally, or you or your partner are currently mentally unstable (for example, having a diagnosis of severe depression, paranoid schizophrenia, panic disorder, or severe PTSD) this course might not be for you at this stage. Therapy may be a better option for you (unless your psychotherapist or psychologist thinks that this course would be beneficial for you and that you are able to integrate the skills we teach here).
If your relationship has a history of significant physical abuse (hitting, slapping, etc.), frequent hostile name calling, severe threats to your safety, or fear of your partner, please seek individual help from a licensed professional who has expertise in this area. Nobody should live in fear, my dear. It’s not worth it, and it’s not what you deserve. I suggest that you seek support to help you with these relationship challenges and to help you get stronger first.
I totally hear you. I know change can be scary, and you probably have some reasons for being fearful. But because this course resonated with you, you probably already know deep within yourself that it might be the right thing for you.
Most of my clients and students were afraid of rocking the boat at some point. But giving in to this fear didn’t protect them or make their lives easier. It just kept them stuck in the status quo for a long time. Having a fear of change or a fear of how other people will react when we change is completely valid (and common). My goal for you is not to face this dragon right away. Instead, in this program, you’ll begin to make changes one step at a time. When things feel right for you and you learn to communicate from your heart and not from fear, you will see the difference within yourself and in your relationships. I personally haven’t experienced more conflict with anyone when my words and energy resonated with my heart center and when I was coming from a place of love, curiosity, and openness. And that’s exactly what I teach in From Conflict to Ultimate Love. The most conflict I’ve seen in couples I’ve served (and my personal relationships) is when both people are either speaking from a place of anger and ego or aren’t communicating and trying to avoid the problem altogether. Both of these situations lead to more conflict, resentment, and greater distance between them. That’s why in this course, you’ll first identify the negative patterns that keep you stuck in vicious cycles of fear and anger (what I call the “Ten Toxic Dragons”) and then learn how to create the antidotes to these toxic cycles.
So basically, what you’ll learn in this course isn’t how to “rock the boat” but how to change your own energy when triggered by your partner and effectively and authentically communicate with your partner in a way that will help your boat sail on much more peaceful waters. If this is possible for me and my clients, it’s possible for you too.
Remember that real transformation takes time. It happens slowly and gently, not abruptly and aggressively. I know it’s scary, but it doesn’t have to be so scary that you feel paralyzed with fear. You can go through transformation with some degree of fear and as you create more love, understanding, and confidence within you, your energy will change and you will feel more encouraged to tackle the issues that you’ve been sweeping under the rug for so long.
You won’t have to go through this alone, my dear. I’ll be here for you every step of the way.
Absolutely! If you’re currently single or thinking about leaving your relationship, this course is for you too. The tools that I will share with you in From Conflict to Ultimate Love will help you with all other close relationships you may have and with any future romantic relationship you might want. So whether you’re constantly butting heads with family members or caught in a never ending cycle of conflict with your partner, you’ll learn how to discover a heart-centered place within you that will help you navigate emotional storms and communicate from a place of love and authenticity.
Are you willing to put in the work to get results? If so, my answer to you is YES. In this course, I will give you the exact roadmap to guide you every single step of the way. On top of that, I will be your biggest cheerleader, coach, mentor, and supporter. But I can’t make you do the work or do it for you. Just listening to this course and participating during the live calls weekly will definitely help you increase and shift your awareness of your negative patterns in your relationship, learn about your self-sabotaging tendencies, discover what it takes to create a deeper connection with your partner, and understand how to shift your relationship from conflict to ultimate love. And if you’re willing to do the work, I will definitely help you get the best out of this experience--I promise you!
My dear, I totally hear you. When things seem complicated, they also appear out of control. It doesn’t have to be this way. I am sure that your relationship is as unique as every relationship on this planet is. We are extremely complex human beings with unique personalities, circumstances, and gifts. Sometimes we think that our situation is so complex that there is no way out or that it’s almost impossible to straighten things out. Although I don’t know your personal experience and what exactly is going on in your relationship, I can tell you that in this course, you’ll get much more clarity on where you are in your relationship, what is and isn’t working, and what you can do to create a positive shift within yourself and/or your relationship. We’ll do it one step at a time so you don’t get overwhelmed as we go. And in case you do (we all do sometimes), that’s okay. I’m here to support you and guide you every step of the way. As you go through the program, you’ll learn that even things that seem complicated on the surface have a solution--whatever this may mean for you. I’ve got you!
No, you don’t. If it doesn’t feel right for you to share a personal story or issue you may have, you absolutely have the right to keep it to yourself. This isn’t a place where I expect you to air your dirty laundry. However, I do encourage participants to share their experiences from time to time and ask questions that matter to them because you never know who in the group has similar challenges and may benefit from the answers to your questions. Because I’ll be coaching live during the course and answering questions during each live call, you may want to take these opportunities to ask me a question, especially if you feel stuck or aren’t sure how to approach the situation or your partner.
Know that every time I teach a class live, I make it a priority to create and hold a safe space for everyone in the group and ensure that all students are treated with the utmost respect.
If you’re afraid that you’ll be judged by others if you share your truth, I’d like to remind you that even though some people may have some fleeting judgments in their head, they have signed up for this course not to judge others but to change something that is not working within themselves or in their relationship. So everyone’s priority is to focus on their own growth.
At the end of the day, this course is not about other people. It’s all about you and what you’re willing to do for yourself and your own growth. If you think you’ll be judged by others, I’m asking you to look at that judgment within yourself and ask yourself “Am I actually judging myself? Is it me that thinks I’m not good enough? Am I ashamed of myself?” Whatever the case is with you, I fully embrace all parts of you and would love to meet your loving authentic self--just the way you are!
Yes! A few days after each live session, you’ll have access to both a video and audio recording of it in your student portal. That said, I highly encourage you to attend most sessions live so that you get the opportunity to interact with other participants and ask me any questions you have. These Ultimate Love coaching sessions are extremely powerful, transformative, and healing. So trust me--you don’t want to miss them.
Even though From Conflict to Ultimate Love is all about relationships and how to create a better and more loving relationship with yourself, your partner, or your loved one, it’s not designed for couples to attend together.
The exercises in this course are very deep and designed for individual advancement and growth because this journey is about YOU, the change maker in your life and relationship. In order to have love and connection with others, you have to create this love within yourself first. Going through the program will help you identify what you need to change or modify so you can handle conflicts more lovingly and mindfully.
Now, I know that you may want your partner to change too. But at this stage, if your focus becomes your partner and what they need to change instead of what you could benefit from changing, it will stop you from experiencing real growth and progress in this course. I know that putting aside your partner’s limitations to focus on yourself can be challenging for some of you, especially if you’ve been “other focused” or “partner focused” for a while. But the reality is that trying to improve your relationship by getting your partner to change rarely produces results that last. I purposefully created From Conflict to Ultimate Love to be “me” focused so it can bring you the satisfaction, fulfilment, and lasting change you’ve been longing for.
Of course, I encourage you to share your experience in the course and what you’ve learned with your partner (if doing so feels right to you). But try not to tell them what they need to do differently in the relationship because this is YOUR journey, not theirs. Also, you’re welcome to share an exercise or tool that you learn in the course with your partner. However, because the group is very private and confidential, please DO NOT share the group session recordings with your partner.
See the question below for more options we might have for partners and family members.
This is a very personal intimate journey where I’ll be working with participants LIVE to help each of them break through relationship challenges and get to the other side. Because of the sensitive nature of this intimate group setting, every student who signs up for the course will be required to agree to the confidentiality policy we have in place. Part of this policy is that sharing with others is not allowed.
Once the course is complete, we may have an edited version of From Conflict to Ultimate Love that you can purchase for your partner or family member at a discounted rate. This version will contain only the instructional portion of the course; the live coaching and healing portions of the sessions will be excluded to protect each student’s privacy. However, we might include questions asked during the Q&A sessions in PDF form to assist further.
When you sign up for From Conflict to Ultimate Love, please let us know if you’d be interested in purchasing the edited version of the course for a partner, friend, or a family member and we’ll get in touch with you. Contact us at [email protected] and one of our team members will assist you.
Although this is the first time that I’m launching this specific course, I’ve been perfecting the tools and strategies I teach in it during the many years that I’ve worked with couples and families in my office who have struggled to deal with their emotions or relationship problems when they were triggered. So I can tell you that if you use my blueprint for crossing the bridge from conflict to love and experience what peace, understanding, compassion and acceptance feel like within, you’ll gain valuable relationship skills that will last a lifetime. These skills will not only help you create a deeper relationship with your partner but also positively affect all of your relationships.
Even more importantly, though, this course will change the relationship you have with yourself. Specifically, it will teach you skills and help you transform lower emotions and thoughtforms experientially so that the change lasts a long time. You see, when you’re able to embrace your own triggers, accept your vulnerability, manage emotions with compassion, take ownership of your contribution to conflict, and consciously transform your ego, there are no limits to what you can create in your life and relationships. You might be motivated to do more with your life, be more productive at work because you’re less stressed, feel more in control than out of control, and be able to approach any life challenge with a more positive attitude. These are just some of the “side effects” of completing this course and learning the tools I will be sharing with you.
Some of my clients created the best relationships they’ve ever had using these very tools, and some decided to leave unhealthy and toxic relationships and were able to move on with more confidence and clarity. What you will be able to create is going to be unique to you. But know that it will be what feels right for you and your life and not what I tell you it should be.
I’ll leave you with this question: How would you feel if you were able to manage your triggers with more ease and grace, embrace your feelings and thoughts with compassion, honor your needs and desires, and approach life or relationship issues from a place of love rather than a place of ego?
Just imagine…
That’s my goal for you!
I’m ready to guide you on your journey. Are you ready to start it?
