Get and Keep the Relationship You Want
Learn the secrets of having the happiest, longest-lasting relationships…
All our workshops are lecture-style with non-threatening exercises–so no sharing of your personal experience is necessary. However, deeper results are found in bringing your partner or a friend and sharing with each other, completely at your option.

Details: In this approximately 2-hour educational workshop (not therapy), attendees will gain practical tools for increasing intimacy, passion, and reducing conflict, whether single/dating, newly living together, or married for many years.
Unlike most coaches or therapists sharing only their opinion, and often limited experience of healthy relationships, certified counsellor Richard Tatomir, M.A. Counselling Psychology, C.C.C., and his team of special guest specialists are expert researchers and presenters, leading participants through the latest research on what keeps couples happy long-term, derived from studies of over 3000 couples across North America. Richard is a registered Gottman 7 Principles Educator, one of only a handful across Canada.
Richard’s practical and humorous presentation style promises to have participants actually able to understand and apply the principles of master relationships through engaging, yet comfortable, exercises and activities.
You will also learn a wealth of resources, whether you are a potential client, or relationship professional who wants to bring their relationship and rapport-building skills to the next level
(Seating Limited to 25 attendees only)
REV Level 2 Relationship Workshops & Retreats
Build Your Relationship Fitness with RFIT: A Step by Step Approach for Couples, Singles, Families, and Teams in Conflict
Offered on Request to Individuals, Couples, and Organizations, email us.
In this presentation you will peek behind the often mysterious curtains of couples therapy to take home skills you can use right away to make real changes to your closest relationships. These skills are taken from RFIT (Relationship First Integrated Therapy), a new step by step approach to resolving relationship difficulties developed by Vancouver-based relationship therapist Richard Tatomir and out of their frustration with the ineffective and confusing nature of traditional couples therapy. RFIT takes the headache out of relationships by taking the newest research on healthy relationships and breaks it down it into a step by step form that couples, singles, families or work teams can actually use–even if only one partner is willing, and even if significant issues like anxiety, depression, trauma (including infidelity) are present. Continued application of tools in the RFIT toolbox can reduce time and energy spent fighting and increase feelings of closeness and safety in your relationship(s). Presentation usually runs 1.5-2 hours, but can be expanded into a day or weekend workshop.

We come to you anywhere in the Lower Mainland/Fraser Valley/Metro Vancouver or via Skype/Phone/Text/Email, bringing over 5000 Hours of international experience teaching the Science of Relationship Success Directly to Your Home or Office.

Our Results:
Workshops are based off world-renowned Dr. John & Julie Gottman’s best-selling book and educational group program, The 7 Principles of Making Marriage Work and The Relationship Cure.
Studies have shown that people who practice the 7 Principles, gained over 30 years of research with over 3000 couples across North America, can see the following changes:
Couples:
- Higher overall relationship satisfaction
- Reduction in harmful types of conflict
- Increased sex and intimacy
- Better understanding & avoidance of common relationship pitfalls
We will be presenting this program in various locations around Vancouver and the Fraser Valley. Stay tuned for a location near you. If you are interested in us bringing this workshop to your university, church, or other organization, contact us.
Workshop FAQs
This is not therapy, rather this workshop is designed to give you practical skills you can use right away to improve your closest relationships–especially romantic–but also family, co-worker, and friend relationships.
Part of the workshop is a lecture with visuals, and part is engaging you in some practical exercises in deepening your relationship that are comfortable (we promise!)
Many of the exercises are in dyads (groups of 2), so bringing your partner or friend you trust is ideal. However, as singles and those with partners unwilling or unable to come have really requested this workshop, we have modified it so that many of the exercises can be done with one of us (the facilitator, a trained counsellor) or can be done thinking about a past partner, or future “dream” partner you would like to have.
Too often presenters leave the audience hanging with abstract concepts, telling them they have to pay for the “real” bits later–instead, we will provide you with tools and concepts that make a different right away in your relationships, if you use them. Of course, if you’re ever wanting more in-depth tailored advice and instruction to your specific situation, that’s when working with us directly is ideal.
Pen, paper or notepad, and an open and willing attitude. Bringing your partner (or a friend) is recommended, but not required. Even if only one partner uses the tools we talk about, a dramatic difference in their relationships can still be had, this is because of systems theory (ask us about our clinical experiences seeing this!).
Again, if you are interested in us bringing this workshop to you privately, or at your university, place of worship, or other organization, contact us. We can also add you to our mailing list to let you know where and when our next relationship workshop in Vancouver will take place.
