Couples Coaching During Pregnancy

Building Strength Together

Facing an unplanned pregnancy can bring enormous strain to a relationship.

At SHIFRA, we recognize that both partners experience a flood of emotions—fear, uncertainty, confusion, even grief.

Our couples coaching is designed to help you and your partner find strength in each other, communicate effectively, and move forward with clarity and compassion.

Navigating Big Emotions, Together

Pregnancy—especially an unexpected one—brings emotional upheaval for both parents. Through our compassionate couples coaching, we create a space where you and your partner can share fears, hopes, doubts, and dreams, without fear of judgment. Whether you’re struggling to communicate or simply feeling overwhelmed, we help you reconnect and find mutual support.

SHIFRA helps women anywhere in the US and English speakers outside of Israel.

In our couples coaching sessions, you’ll work on:

Laughter, friends, joy.

Open and respectful communication

Processing individual and shared emotions

Coaching Tailored to Your Unique Journey

Every couple faces a different path. Some couples feel torn apart by the pressure of an unexpected pregnancy. Others desperately want to support each other but don’t know how.

Our coaching sessions meet you where you are, guiding you step-by-step through:

Understanding emotional reactions

Developing coping strategies for stress and fear

Navigating disagreements and finding a compromise

Supporting each other’s needs, even when they differ

No matter where you and your partner are starting from, healing and hope are always possible.
