No payment today. Just 2 minutes to join the list.
Does this sound familiar?
You're not failing. You're parenting. But somewhere between the diapers, the schedules and the exhaustion, "us" became "the logistics team."
- Most conversations are about the kids, the calendar, or the house β never about each other.
- You feel more like co-parents or roommates than partners.
- You love each other, but you're too tired most nights to show it.
- You've tried "just talking about it" before, and it didn't go anywhere.
- You're not in a crisis β but you know this can't just run on autopilot forever.
"Your relationship doesn't have to be in crisis for it to deserve attention."
Reconnect After Kids isn't couples therapy, and it's not a crisis intervention. It's a short, structured way to rebuild connection in the middle of real, busy family life β one small, intentional action at a time.
The Program
Four weeks. One small shift at a time.
Each week combines a short lesson, a guided couple exercise, one live group session, and a daily micro-action β built for parents who have 20 minutes, not 20 hours.
Remember Us
Before we were parents, we were us.
Rediscover what drew you together and notice what's changed β without blame.
See Me
Sometimes we don't need solutions. We need to feel seen.
Learn a simple listen-validate-ask pattern that lowers defensiveness in daily conversations.
Find Us Again
Friendship, fun and affection belong in the relationship too.
Bring back small, realistic moments of connection β no babysitter or budget required.
Choose Us
Reconnection becomes real when it becomes intentional.
Leave with a one-page Reconnect Plan built to survive real family life, long after week 4.
What's Included
Everything fits around nap times, not instead of them.
- Before you start: a private relationship check-in for each partner, plus a welcome orientation.
- Each week: a 20–30 min lesson, private reflection, guided couple exercise, and one small daily micro-action.
- Weekly live session (45 min): teaching, exercise walkthrough, live Q&A, and a moment to commit to the week ahead.
- Private group: a moderated space for reminders, encouragement and questions between sessions.
- Your Reconnect Plan: a one-page maintenance system you keep using long after the program ends.
- 30-day follow-up: a short check-in to see what stuck.
This program is for you ifβ¦
- You're raising kids together, roughly ages 0–8.
- You still care deeply about each other.
- Life feels like logistics more than partnership right now.
- You want practical tools that fit a busy family schedule.
- You're both willing to show up for 20–30 minutes a week.
This program is notβ¦
- Couples therapy, counselling, or a clinical treatment.
- A crisis intervention for abuse or safety concerns.
- A guarantee that your relationship will be "fixed."
- A replacement for licensed professional support when it's needed.
If you're in crisis or experiencing abuse, please reach out to a licensed professional or a crisis service in your area.
Your Facilitator
Led by Ingrid Sampaio
Ingrid is a Christian-based counsellor specializing in marriage and family, with a Master's in Christian Counselling from Canada Christian College. Before counselling, she spent 13 years in the Brazilian judicial system as a mediator β work that shaped her deep belief in the power of listening and dialogue to transform relationships.
As a wife, mother of three, and immigrant in Canada, Ingrid brings a grounded, real understanding of what it takes to build a strong relationship in the middle of busy family life. She leads every weekly live session personally, so the founding cohort gets direct access and real conversation β not a pre-recorded course.

Common Questions
You might be wonderingβ¦
We barely have time to shower, let alone start a new program.
That's exactly who this was built for. Each week is 20–30 minutes of material plus small daily micro-actions β no hour-long homework, no extra logistics.
We're not in crisis. Is this still for us?
Yes β that's the point. You don't need to be in crisis for your relationship to deserve attention. Most couples who benefit most are exactly where you are: okay, but drifting.
We've tried "just talking about it" before and it didn't help.
Unstructured conversations often circle back to old patterns. This program gives you a specific structure, guided exercises and a facilitator β not just another open-ended talk.
Is CAD $99 worth it?
It's the founding cohort price for a 4-week program with live facilitation β often less than the cost of one date night with a babysitter. Pricing may change for future cohorts.
Is this therapy or counselling?
No. Reconnect After Kids is relationship education, not therapy, counselling, or psychological treatment. If you're dealing with abuse, safety concerns, or a mental health crisis, please seek support from a licensed professional.
Does my partner need to want this too?
Ideally yes β this is a couple's program, and the exercises are designed to be done together. If only one of you is ready right now, join the list anyway and let's talk.
What happens after I join the list?
You'll get a short welcome email and, when the founding cohort opens, an invitation to join at CAD $99 per couple.
