Programmes — For Couples Who Need More Than Weekly Sessions
Some situations need concentrated, deep work — not months of weekly conversations. These programmes are built for that.

When you can't wait months for change.
The Phoenix Protocol exists for one reason: sometimes a marriage reaches a point where the usual pace of weekly sessions isn't enough. Something has broken open — an affair, a disclosure, a moment where one partner says they're done — and what's needed isn't a slow and careful process. It's something that goes deep, fast, and gets to the source of what's actually happening.
That's what the Phoenix Protocol does. It works in days and weeks, not months — not because it's a shortcut, but because it works at a different level entirely. We're not managing the surface of the problem. We're shifting the dynamic underneath it.
Who it's for
- An affair has come to light and you're in free fall
- One partner has said they want to leave — or has already emotionally left
- The relationship has completely shut down
- You've tried other approaches and nothing has moved
- You're facing a decision point and need clarity fast
What to expect
The Phoenix Protocol is intensive by design — concentrated sessions over a short period, with support between them. We work with both of you together and, where it helps, individually. The focus is on shifting the pattern at its source, not just managing the fallout.
It's available in person in Havelock North and online for couples anywhere in New Zealand. If you're in crisis right now, the free call is the right next step.

A systematic 90-day approach for couples ready to go deep.
The Million Dollar Marriage programme is our flagship 90-day online couples transformation programme. It's designed for high-achieving couples who want a structured, systematic approach to rebuilding — not crisis intervention, but serious, committed work over a sustained period.
The name isn't about money. It's about the value of what you're protecting. A great marriage is worth everything — and this programme treats it accordingly.
Who it's for
- Couples who are serious about lasting change, not just getting through the week
- High-achieving, driven people who respond well to structure and accountability
- Couples who want depth — not just techniques, but a real shift in the dynamic
- Those who need the flexibility of online sessions to fit their schedule
What it includes
Regular sessions with Grant and Christine across 90 days, working through The Aroha Rapid Transformation Method in a structured sequence. Between-session tools and support. Accountability built in from the start. A gameplan that's designed for your specific situation, not a generic curriculum.

When you need deep change in a concentrated timeframe.
Some couples can't do weekly sessions — life doesn't allow it, or the urgency doesn't either. The Elite Couples Intensive is a 2 to 3-day concentrated experience, designed to go further in a few days than most couples go in months of weekly sessions.
It works because we're not interrupted. No gap of a week between sessions where old patterns reassert themselves. We go deep, stay there, and work through the layers together — with support and integration built into the process.
Particularly suited to
- Couples travelling from Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, or out of town — come to Havelock North for the intensive, then integrate at home
- Busy professionals who can't commit to regular weekly sessions
- Couples who want the depth of the work but compressed into their schedule
- Those who've been trying conventional weekly therapy and need something that goes further
- Couples who want a reset — a dedicated time and space to do the work properly
Format
In person at our practice in Havelock North, Hawke's Bay — or fully online for couples who can't travel. The in-person intensive has a different quality to it; being away from your normal environment, in a neutral space, often accelerates the work. But online intensives are equally effective for the right couple.
We'll design the specific format around what you need when we talk.

The Phoenix Protocol is specifically for couples in acute crisis — an affair has just come to light, one partner is threatening to leave, or the relationship has shut down completely. It's designed for urgency. Million Dollar Marriage and the Elite Intensives are for couples who are ready to do deep, transformational work — they're not in the same acute crisis, but they know something significant needs to change.
Absolutely. Many couples travel specifically for the Elite Intensives — we have people who come from Auckland, Wellington, and further afield. Some stay locally for the duration. If travel is involved, we'll help you think through the logistics. We also run intensives fully online, which works just as well.
In our experience, yes — for the right couple. The methodology is identical. Some people find being in their own environment actually helps. The main thing that affects results isn't the format, it's the commitment you both bring.
We can work with that. One person shifting changes the dynamic — often more than the person who isn't yet on board would expect. We'll talk through your specific situation on the free call and be honest about what we think is possible.
That's what the free 15-minute call is for. You don't need to figure that out before you contact us. Tell us where you are and what's happening, and we'll help you find the right fit.
