Your Relationship Survival Kit
We get it. Falling in love is the BEST THING EVER!
Your partner can do no wrong and everything is effortlessly sweet. But it’s called the “honeymoon phase” for a reason.
It doesn’t last. 3, 6, or 9 months later, maybe a year or two if you’re special, then what?
Relationships are like gardens
Left to themselves they can get messy. If you let the weeds go too long, it feels like the only option is to start over.
It’s tricky enough when it’s just you and your partner, but throw in kids, in-laws, financial strain, intimacy issues, distraction, work, and pretty soon you’re lost - it’s a jungle out there!
We know, because we’re living it - a blended family with 6 kids and twins under 3. Yep.

YUM is simple, fun, and powerful.
Designed by lovers and therapists, it’s relationship maintenance in a box.
It can be intense. You will laugh and you will cry.
YUM gives you a way to clear away the weeds in your relationship, keep things open, honest and ever fresh.
YUM supports you and your partner to have the best relationship you can have.
The YUM Story
Tending our relationship…
To support our relationship, we started out having little check-ins in the evening. “How are you feeling?” “What’s up for you?” - that kind of thing. Sometimes if we were feeling generous one of us might give the other a massage.
We soon recognised that some topics were harder to broach: asking for things, giving tough feedback, discontentedness, talking about sex.
Over time we found that a little structure helped, and we began having turns at offering and asking for various things, and listening in silence.
Over the years our meetings evolved in different ways and helped us to get through some really tricky times.
The simple structure helped us deepen in trust, to be honest, and to keep the relationship feeling dynamic.
In the beginning…
We (Emily and Sean) met studying Gestalt psychotherapy in 2013 and got together in 2014. She had two daughters (3 & 6) and he had two sons (7 & 8).
Soon after, we began the blended family adventure and not long after that (2018) got pregnant with twins!
Needless to say, there has been some pressure on the relationship - sleep, finances, emotional upheavals, etc.
