WHAT EXACTLY IS BUILT TO LAST™
Built to Last™ is an intimate, 6 week private coaching program for couples whose relationship is on the line — where she's exhausted and resentful, he's defensive and reactive, and both of you are wondering if you've already waited too long to fix it.
This program is designed for couples who value speed over years of slow-drip therapy. Couples who are done rehashing the same fights in a therapy office and leaving with nothing changed.
Inside Built to Last, I’m not teaching you how to talk about your problems. I’m teaching you how to stop creating them. This isn’t passive therapy, this is a 6 week coaching intensive.
We will start by mapping your nervous system patterns - understanding why you react, shut down, or say things you regret, and what to do the moment it starts happening.
Then we rebuild how you communicate, so conflict becomes repair instead of more damage.
From there, we build a shared vision that gives the relationship direction and purpose again.
Finally, we tackle the invisible weight of the mental load that's been quietly breeding resentment for years.
Everything is structured and sequenced. You're not guessing. You're not piecing together podcasts and Reddit threads. You're installing what actually works for couples to thrive.
Imagine this was your reality 45 days from now.
If ANY of these excite you... we should probably talk.

Hey, I’m Ian.
I’m a Trauma-Informed Coach from Squamish, BC, Canada. I’ve been with my wife Julia for 11 years. We have been to depths of hell and back in our relationship, and now we are building something truly special together.
I approach this coaching container from a place of embodied experience, not just some relationship book.
I’ve actually watched my relationship crumble to dust, and rebuilt it from the ground up… so I know what it takes to turn things around.
I've also facilitated men's work and programs where I have worked with over 150 men in crisis in the realm of relationship. From Lulu Lemon execs, to tech founders, to local small business owners, I know what breaks couples down and what builds them back up.
This was designed to do one thing: give your relationship back to you as fast as possible, and then become your new operating system for how you show up to love.
Because the truth is, most couples don't need more sessions. They need a better model, a stronger foundation, and someone who's done this work themselves.
If you're serious about saving your relationship and building something neither of you wants to leave - click below and apply.

Most clients see momentum in 7–14 days. Some move faster. Some slower. Your speed = your effort.
-
Most relationship therapists offer outdated models of relationships. Only about 50% of partners view couples therapy as effective two years in — and 25% feel worse off than before they started.
I offer a very different approach that is less talking about problems, more about creating an entirely new way of relating to each other. I believe relationships turn around quickly when you have the right tools & support.
-
I guarantee access to a framework that works. I do NOT guarantee results. No refunds. You need to take full responsibility and put in the time for this to work.

After 6 weeks, your relationship will be back on track.
