Book cover, Love Doesn't Have to Feel So Hard, on wooden table.

If you shut down every time things get hard in your relationship…
It’s not because you’re cold.
It’s because your nervous system is overwhelmed.

Your body isn’t betraying you—it’s protecting you.

Want to learn how to feel safe enough to stay?

Reconnect with Yourself, Transform Your Relationships, and Heal from Within

Positive sexual experiences and healthy intimate relationships play a vital role in enhancing our overall well-being.

Here, we get curious about the patterns beneath the pain. We explore the nervous system, untangle relational dynamics, and rebuild connection—from the inside out. Whether you're healing from betrayal, navigating desire differences, or simply feeling disconnected from your body or partner, this is a space for honest reflection, deep healing, and meaningful change.

You don’t have to keep holding it all together on your own. Let’s work together to help you feel grounded, connected, and fully yourself again.

 

Life’s challenges, past traumas, and nervous system imbalances can leave you feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve you. My approach is compassionate, integrative, and deeply personal, blending therapeutic conversations, nervous system regulation, and somatic practices to support your healing and growth.

Whether you’re navigating relationship struggles, working to heal from trauma, or seeking a stronger connection with your body and sexuality, I create a safe, supportive space where you can explore, process, and transform.

 

Together, we’ll uncover what’s holding you back, empower you with tools to regulate and heal, and help you reclaim confidence, joy, and authentic connection.

You deserve a life that feels balanced, fulfilling, and aligned with who you truly are. Let’s work together to create it.

Are You Feeling Disconnected and Worried About What’s Next?


You’re not alone. Many couples struggle with low desire, constant conflict, and feeling more like roommates than lovers. It’s painful to feel this way, and the fear of breakup or divorce can feel overwhelming. You might think you don’t have time to fix this, or that your partner won’t change.

 

You might even feel hopeless.

 

But here’s the truth: lasting change is possible. With the right guidance, you can rediscover the connection, passion, and happiness you both deserve. Imagine waking up feeling truly connected and loved, enjoying better communication, and sharing a relationship filled with joy and intimacy.

My proven system offers simple, effective steps that fit your busy life and help you rebuild your bond from the ground up. No more frustration. No more feeling stuck. Just real, lasting transformation.

Hey there,

My name is Tanya Peterson

I know how hard it can feel to navigate challenges around intimacy, connection, or even feeling at home in your own body. If you’ve been struggling with patterns of disconnection, shame, or fear, it’s not your fault—and you don’t have to face it alone. These struggles often run deep, rooted in past experiences, stress, or trauma, but they don’t define you. I’m here to walk alongside you as you work toward healing, safety, and connection in ways that feel authentic and empowering.

What makes my work different is that it’s not just about talking—it’s about understanding how your mind and body work together. Together, we’ll explore what’s happening in your nervous system, gently uncovering the patterns that keep you stuck and creating space for new, healthier ways of being. Using tools like mindfulness, somatic awareness, and nervous system regulation, we’ll help you rebuild a sense of safety in your body and in your relationships, so you can move forward with confidence and self-compassion.

I offer an affirming, inclusive space that is allied with LGBTQ+ communities and supportive of kink- and non-monogamy-affirming practices, where all identities and expressions of intimacy are respected and welcomed.
