Dr. Hazel-Grace

Want to navigate conflict in a way that creates more connection and trust than before the rupture? As someone who spent nearly 2 decades in toxic relationships, I am thrilled to experience healthy and secure relationships NOW! Through 14 years as an intimacy and relationship coach and my personal journey I have discovered the secret sauce to epic relationships is to navigate conflict well. That’s why I created the 6 step REPAIR Process that gives your reliable structure to create more connection and trust than before the rupture happened. I am offering you a free 75 minute course on the first 3 steps in the process. Send me a DM with the word “REPAIR” and I will send you the video.

The REPAIR Process: your roadmap to harmony, a toolkit of resilience, and a foundation of unwavering confidence. Fulfilling relationships thrive on our ability to skillfully navigate conflict. Hazel-Grace has developed a powerful REPAIR process for you to learn the skills that turn ruptures into intimate connection. #therepairprocess #repairprocess #generativeconflict #healthyrelationships #rebuildtrust #connection #relationshipcoach #intimacycoach #navigatingconflict #healthycommunication

The REPAIR Process™ Testimony - Melissa D. of Body Joy School Melissa D., a Somatic Sex Educator , shares her experience with Dr. Hazel-Grace’s 6 step REPAIR Process. Even though Melissa already felt competent with navigating conflict, the REPAIR Process brought her skill level to a whole other level. She uses these skills in her personal life as well as coaching her clients. She appreciates the robust and fortified process that leaves more space for deeper repair and connection.

The way he loves me. I was in a hurry leaving Nico’s place to get to a client’s season with my hands full of bags and my basket. It was raining hard outside. I was going to leave in my work boots without my super long shoe laces dragging in the mud because I was in a hurry. He said, “Can I tie your shoes for you?” I said yes and he squatted down to tie up my boots for my 45 year old self. 7 years in, I still pinch myself. His devotion. His service. His care. His attention. His loyalty. His patience. His groundedness. His kindness. His gentleness. His clarity of boundaries. ASTOUNDS ME. I am so lucky. He is so lucky. We are so lucky. May all people who want to experience this level of love and more experience this now! And so it is.

I was struck by lightning when I was 16. 29 years later… it still lives in my body. Tonight, a flash. A sound. My nervous system lit up like it did that day. A jolt of pure terror. Sharp. Fast. Gone. This happens more often than most people would expect. Even after 20 years of deep healing. Even after all the work I’ve done tending my nervous system. Some things don’t just disappear. They become part of your wiring. And still… I am not broken. I am someone who has learned how to feel terror and come back to safety. Over and over again. Lately, this memory has been resurfacing more. So instead of pushing it away, I’m choosing to follow it. With curiosity. With courage. With care. This experience has been one of my greatest teachers. I know how it shaped me. And I’m beginning to ask a new question: What if this also shaped my capacity to feel, to heal, to love? Year 29 of integrating this shock. Still unfolding. Still becoming. And Mom… you were lightning too. Your fire lives in me. Your love lives through me. In so many ways, we’re still doing this together. ❤️

Holy Wow! 97 people came for the Speed Relating event in Nevada City facilitated with Matia Duvall It was an absolute blast! In my 15 years of producing events, I have never had this many people come to an evening event. We even had people drive from the Bay Area, Sacramento, Chico, Fairfax, Tahoe and Reno. PEOPLE are starving for in-person connection. Cell phones put away. Meaningful connections. Speed Relating is different than Speed Dating. In Speed Relating the intention to create meaningful connections that can take a variety of forms: friends, adventure buddies, romantic partnerships, creative collaborators. We even heard about a couple who met at our Valentine's Speed Relating 🙂 In the video below, people were playing a mirror movement game. I may not be great at working with young children, and I sure do have a way of helping adults let their inner child play! Next Speed Relating is June 26th at Gold Vibe Kombuchary.

✨ The imperfect truth about my relationship ✨ Nico and I were interviewed on the We Too podcast, where we shared the real truth of our relationship… and how we actually repair when things fall apart. And honestly, this is me exposing my imperfections. You’re not getting the polished version. You’re getting the moments where I miss things. Where I get reactive. Where I don’t show up how I wish I did. And Nico said yes to being seen in that too. That kind of honesty takes courage… and a lot of trust. In this conversation, we step out of our roles as facilitators and just show up as partners (even in our bathrobes). No teaching. No performing. Just the truth of what it looks like to be in our real relationship. We’ve been together for seven years. And what we’ve built hasn’t come from getting it right. It’s come from being willing to keep coming back to each other. Inside this episode, we share: How we keep connection alive when it would be easier to shut down What actually happens when we get triggered (because yes, we do) Two real moments of conflict, and how we worked through them This is what repair actually looks like. Messy. Imperfect. Human. Because conflict isn’t the problem. It’s what we do with it that shapes the relationship. Part of why I’m sharing this is because I want you to normalize the mess: The misunderstandings The missed moments The effort it takes to come back into connection Nico and I come from different lived experiences, and those differences matter. They create tension. And they ask more of us. More listening. More patience. More willingness to stay when it would be easier to leave. My hope is simple: That you see yourself in this That you feel a little less alone And that you walk away with more compassion for yourself and the people you love If you’ve ever wondered what it actually looks like to stay connected through imperfection… Watch the full episode here: /watch?v=XDdMtZ2wWh0
