Weekly counselling spreads progress across months, making deep momentum difficult to sustain. A private retreat changes that by condensing the work into two or three focused days, with just the two of you and Renée, and no other couples present. Away from daily-life distractions in Canmore, and guided by a structure built around your pre-retreat questionnaire responses, every hour is directed toward your specific goals.
Before your retreat begins, both partners complete individual questionnaires so Renée arrives fully prepared. Sessions are available in two formats: 10 hours across two or three days, or 15 hours across three. Each day opens with brief individual check-ins, moves into joint sessions covering communication, conflict, and reconnection, and closes with a forward plan and aftercare options. For a full breakdown, visit A Day at the Retreat.
Renee Meggs is a registered Psychologist based in Canmore, Alberta, with over 30 years of clinical experience working with individuals and couples. She draws on the Gottman Method, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, EMDR, and somatic and mindfulness approaches, selecting the tools most relevant to your specific situation rather than applying a fixed program.
