Ana Loiselle, Relationship SpecialistReviews of ftmyersmarriagecounseling.com

Unfortunately, there is no magical formula to "fix" a relationship but Ana provides crucial tools, insight, and experience to help get a relationship on track. While it is no easy task, the sessions/homework challenge each partner in the relationship to reflect inward to assess his/her needs and evaluate how well those needs are being communicated. Let's face it communication is hard and even more difficult with the ones you love. I have found without the right tools it is too easy to fall into traps such as: expecting others to read our minds and our hearts, assigning "blame" on others for our feelings, and pushing (or shutting out) our partners when they are needed the most. Ana utilizes techniques of non-violent communication that allow us (the couple) to communicate our true needs while respecting our partner in the process. If you are willing to be vulnerable and put in the effort then Ana will be there to guide you. Ana's relationship coaching technique can be personally catered to the specific needs of your relationship. Ana is often willing to take the pulse of the relationship and adjust to immediate needs. I would highly recommend Ana's programs to any couple wanting to improve communication in their relationship.

Ana has been a wonderful person to work with, she is able to understand each point of view without even stating it. You can tell she has experience as she is able to see our cycle of conflict before we let her know how we have been fighting. Ana has gone above and beyond during our sessions to help my partner and I realize how we have been feeling. Afters sessions, she has not only provided us homework in workbooks and videos, but she has recommended further resources such as phone applications and even odometers, that have helped me become more aware of my physical symptoms and the emotions that I am feeling. She truly understands the core of each conflict and is able to help my partner and I get to the bottom of it. It is so nice to know that there is a way to make things work without suppressing issues, but in fact, by stating them with kindness and awareness. This program has opened my eyes to the the ways my words can hurt others and how self-destructive my assumptions can be. The tools definitely work, the difficult part for me was being brave enough to admit my core feelings and my needs. But the more that I am able to do so, the better I feel after and the more my partner is willing to help me meet my needs.

My wife and I had an extremely difficult year in 2018! We decided it was necessary to find some coaching help with our marriage. We were very close to splitting up. Luckily we found Ana. Ana helped both my wife and I better understand what was going on in the relationship. Why we weren't connecting anymore. My wife and I are pretty stubborn and it took some time. With Ana's guidance and coaching. We learned so much about ourselves and how to reconnect. I am extremely happy to say that marriage is beautiful again. It didn't happen over night. It took us about 6 months to really learn about ourselves and learn more about each other again. My wife and I would recommend Ana to anyone at any stage in their relationship. We learned so much and still learning from her teachings and guidance. A huge Thank You!

Amazing program and highly recommended! Well worth the time each week to meet with you and learn about ourselves. Thank you so much for the last ten weeks.

I cam to Ana at the verge of divorce after almost 20 years together with my husband. Instead of encouraging us to spill our guts about things that have happened in the past in a "safe" place, she encouraged us to look at ourselves, what triggered our behaviors and our feelings and our reactions- getting to the root cause of our marital discord. We learned tools, how to better understand each others needs and how to communicate. Now our marriage is back on track and we have the tools to continue on for years and decades to come.

Ana was great for our failing marriage. She genuinely cares about your feelings and knows exactly how to reword them so your partner understands. We were very comfortable each and every time we had a session and we continue to use what we learned each and every day. We honestly believe that had we not gone to counseling, our marriage would have ended in divorce.

Working with Ana was a refreshing change from standard therapy. If you put forth the effort, you'll begin to see the difference of the course over each session. I've become a better person by practicing the tools you'll learn. I'd recommend Ana to any couple that wants to fight to save their relationship/marriage. If you accept it isn't going to be easy, it will present challenges, it will get emotional yet you practice the exercises, you'll shock yourself at what's possible. I'll part with these words: Embrace the changes regardless of what brought you in. If you make the effort, you'll reap the rewards. Ana is great.

We had the same old story - a marriage that was rapidly declining. I knew we needed help so I looked online and found Ana's coaching approach. I was immediately intrigued that it was different then counseling. And the only bad review I could find anywhere wasn't about her program itself. We finished her coaching in 10 weeks and it has been nothing short of an amazing miracle. We are back on track - no more fighting and the love and connection is stronger than ever. Thank you Ana for helping us through a painful time in our lives!
