Kevin Caris 2025-03-19 I will definitely recommend this retreat to others. I hope the people I have told so far take my advice. Everyone should have an MC in their life. Mark Siegel 2024-11-28 Marie-Claire delivered an outstanding workshop on the Gottman method during our trip to Hawaii. Her deep empathy and compassion were evident throughout, as she truly wanted the best for our relationship. She took the time to understand the specific challenges we faced and tailored her lessons to address them directly. Marie-Claire taught us practical tools from the Gottman method in a way that felt clear and actionable. She ensured we could take these tools home, use them effectively, and hold each other accountable for continued growth. After the session, she provided us with helpful resources to keep practicing, which showed her dedication to our long term success. We highly recommend Marie-Claire as a coach. Her expertise, care, and ability to connect deeply with her clients makes her an exceptional guide for anyone looking to improve their relationship. Thank you MC Marc Simard 2024-10-11 As an entrepreneur and a Family Law lawyer for over 30 years, I’ve had the privilege of working with Marie-Claire and I appreciate her unique and science-based perspectives in assisting clients who are facing life’s greatest challenges. She truly understands the dynamics behind what is actually going on in peoples’ relationships and she understands the core issues which underlie human behavior at a subconscious level. MC knows how to exercise the necessary discernment to address sensitive issues and she provides tailored solutions and unique perspectives that improve communication and that promotes healing in a safe container. She is fluently bilingual which allows her to connect with clients in both French and English. She continues to co-own a large teaching organization and knows how to impart the wealth of her knowledge so that others can improve the quality of their lives. She also truly cares about her clients without exception. MC’s personal and professional experience have been instrumental in tailoring solutions that are practical, effective and beneficial for over 14 years. Her passion for helping others coupled with her knowledge of Attachment Theory and her accreditations as a Gottman trained, Perel trained Coach, make her stand-out as a sought-after ally. I highly recommend MC if you are seeking to improve your relationships, your communication skills or if you are seeking to re-ignite the spark that will bring your intimacy to a whole new level. Richard Pransky 2024-10-15 We recently attended an incredibly fruitful and uplifting marriage retreat with Marie-Claire Thauvette. From the moment we arrived, Marie-Claire’s kindness and warmth created an environment where we felt safe and supported. She fostered open communication, and her thorough but gentle approach helped us reconnect in ways we hadn’t anticipated. The sessions were well-structured and thoughtfully organized, each building on the last. We received supporting materials, including a book she has written, worksheets, and reflection exercises, which deepened our understanding and gave us practical tools to take home. These materials were insightful and easy to follow, allowing us to continue our growth after the retreat. Marie-Claire’s guidance was truly invaluable, and we left feeling more connected, empowered and assured about our relationship. We highly recommend Marie-Claire to any couple looking to strengthen their bond and gain new perspectives.
