Relationship & Couple Counselling
Healthy relationships are not built by avoiding problems.
They are built by understanding them, communicating through them, and learning how to reconnect emotionally.
Stop chasing symptoms. We find the root cause and remove the emotional attachment.
Communication & Emotional Clarity
Emotional Healing & Reconnection
Family-Focused Direction
Sometimes The Problem Is Not The Argument
- emotional buildup
- unresolved hurt
- emotional triggers
- feeling unheard
- negativity
- resentment
- fear
- subconscious reactions from the past
Many couples keep trying to solve surface arguments while deeper emotional reactions continue underneath.
At Body & Mind Natural Health, we focus on helping people better understand:
- communication patterns
- emotional escalation
- subconscious emotional reactions
- negative thinking loops
- emotional disconnection
- trust breakdown
- unresolved emotional pain
We don’t teach coping. We teach change.
“When a reaction does not fit the situation, it’s not about the situation. It’s about the emotional accumulation in a person’s lifetime.”
— Rick Saruna
“We don’t teach coping skills. Why would we teach you to accept what you don’t like? Instead we identify the issue and remove the emotional charge.”
— Rick Saruna

Understanding Emotional Triggers Changes Relationships
Sometimes people react emotionally not because of the current situation alone — but because older emotional patterns are being activated underneath. When reactions do not fit the situation, emotional buildup is often involved.
This is where emotional awareness becomes extremely important. We help clients better understand:
- subconscious emotional reactions
- emotional escalation
- emotional meaning behind words
- tone and body language
- emotional interpretation
- negative automatic reactions
- fear-based responses
This creates better communication clarity and reduces emotional misunderstanding.
Saruna’s Rapid Emotional Release and Empowerment
Saruna’s Rapid Emotional Release and Empowerment was developed to help reduce emotionally stuck reactions that continue affecting communication, trust, connection, and emotional stability.
Rapid Emotional Release is designed to help people:
- release emotional buildup
- reduce emotional intensity
- let go of emotionally stuck reactions
- reduce subconscious emotional triggers
- improve emotional clarity
- move forward more effectively
The goal is not simply talking about problems endlessly.
The goal is helping people create meaningful emotional change.

What Our Clients Say
"After 5 years of pain and six medical doctors, I was told I was physically fine — yet I was in debilitating pain and unable to function. It is now 6 weeks later and I am totally PAIN FREE. You have helped me more than everyone else in the last five years all put together. Thank you for giving me my life back."
Robert B.
"The most amazing part about working with Rick is that he makes the healing process possible without drama and pain. Issues I had carried for 27 years were simply recognized and released, leaving me feeling a sense of contentment I'd only dreamed of. I would highly recommend Rick to anyone with anger or trauma issues. He doesn't judge or criticize — but he won't let you lie to yourself either."
Heather N.
"I have my M.A. in Counseling Psychology, an M.B.A., and over 35 years of psychological training. Over 10 years as a well-trained hypnotist. I had not been able to budge my own problematic block — Rick Saruna was able to help me. And he did it in a noisy hallway of a restaurant. He's the best I've ever worked with or seen."
Bill Scimone
"When I first came to Body & Mind I was desperate and broken. After only a few sessions, I began to notice a dramatic change in my thinking. By the end of my program I felt like an entirely different person. My wife and I — whose relationship had strained to the point of near collapse — are now stronger than ever. I also have to mention how great Patti was. She always made me feel comfortable from the moment I walked in."
Rob G.
How Do We Do This?
We are subconscious experts. Most therapies focus on the conscious mind, but most issues that keep coming back are actually rooted in the subconscious. Our processes bypass the conscious mind and create a powerful subconscious shift where the issue is located. If the issue is not addressed where it is rooted, it will keep rearing its ugly head again and again, and any change you experience will be temporary.
This is why we developed Saruna’s Rapid Emotional Release and Empowerment.
But that is only part of the solution. We call it “putting out the fire and catching the arsonist.” The fire is the underlying issue. Negativity is the arsonist, always building more issues and problems. That is why we developed a separate process, Thought Shifting, to address negativity: not only creating awareness, but teaching you step-by-step techniques to change your negative inner voice.
Every session is a full 60 minutes, often more. Most therapists book 45 to 50 minutes, so you get 20 to 33% more time in every session.
If you have tried other therapies without success, you are not the problem. The techniques used were the problem.

Common Questions
How does couples counselling work?
It starts with a free evaluation. Sessions usually include both partners and sometimes one-on-one time. We listen past the arguments to what is really driving them, help each of you be heard, and give you practical tools to communicate and rebuild trust.
Does couples counselling really work?
It works best when both partners want things to improve. By finding and releasing the root causes behind repeated fights, couples often break patterns they have been stuck in for years.
What if my partner won’t come?
You can start on your own. Changing how you respond often changes the relationship, and many partners join later once they see the difference.
Can you help if we’re thinking about separating?
Yes. Counselling helps you decide with a clear head, whether that means rebuilding the relationship or separating respectfully, especially when children are involved.
Are couples sessions available online?
Yes. Sessions are available in our Windsor office or online.
How much does couples counselling cost?
Cost depends on what you need, and we explain it clearly during your free evaluation, before you commit. Coverage depends on your benefits plan. Call us at 519-948-0078 and we’ll explain the receipts we provide so you can check with your insurer.
How long is each session?
Every session is a full 60 minutes, often more. Most therapists book 45 to 50 minutes, so you get 20 to 33% more time in every session. We never rush, because the goal is your result, not the clock.
