At that time it was important to me to make things shine on the outside, so I was a wedding planner and for many years I was involved in event organisation.<br>Years later I realised that when the inside starts to shine, the outside is even more beautiful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-colibri-color-6-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-3 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>AND WHY I STARTED WORKING WITH COUPLES AGAIN<\/strong>?<br>The best thing for an entrepreneur is when customers themselves tell us what they want, and that leads to great ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-colibri-color-6-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-4 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>AND SO IT WAS WITH ME<\/strong><br>I used to do coaching programmes for just one person, because I still believe that the foundation of a relationship is built with each person individually. And then I came across a sweet challenge when a couple wanted to come to two of my workshops that I had advertised for the group, but time didn't allow them to attend.<br>They are both entrepreneurs and very busy, and I offered them the solution of coming for coaching individually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-colibri-color-6-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-5 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>BUT THEY DIDN'T LIKE MY SOLUTION<\/strong><br>They didn't want to go to the coaching programme on their own, they wanted to come together. Their main reason was to grow together. And yes, of course, I thought it was great that they would come together too, but up until then I thought that couples didn't want to do that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-colibri-color-6-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-6 wp-block-paragraph\"><br>And that's how my unique motivational programme for couples was born <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/petraam.com\/en\/two-in-total\/\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-colibri-color-1-color\">TWO CELLS S<\/mark><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/petraam.com\/en\/two-in-total\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-colibri-color-1-color\">TOGETHER.<\/mark><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-colibri-color-6-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-7 wp-block-paragraph\"><br>Throughout the programme, it was felt that this was something that benefited both. <strong>Everyone was working on themselves, but they were together. <\/strong>They had a lot to talk about during the meetings, they talked about challenges, they supported each other when things were not easy, they learned to release anger together, they learned the true meaning of forgiveness, they wrote a new story together.<br>You can hear why it was good for Senta and Uro\u0161 to come together <a href=\"https:\/\/petraam.com\/en\/referenca-senta-in-uros\/\"><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-colibri-color-1-color\">Here.<\/mark><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-colibri-color-6-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-8 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>SO WHY TOGETHER<\/strong>? <br><strong>- Because they both arrive at the same level at the same time.<br>- Because at home, they don't \u201ctell\u201d each other what they've learned. <br>- Because with me, time stops and that's when they really know how to hear each other.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-colibri-color-6-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-9 wp-block-paragraph\"><br>Further confirmation that couples' motivation programmes are worth their weight in gold came when my husband and I tried out my<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/petraam.com\/en\/spletni-tecaj\/\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-colibri-color-1-color\"> 6-week online course for couple TWO WHOLES WITH<\/mark><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/petraam.com\/en\/two-in-total\/\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-colibri-color-1-color\">SHOP<\/mark><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/petraam.com\/en\/spletni-tecaj\/\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-colibri-color-1-color\">.<\/mark><\/a><\/strong><br>I have learned so many new things about Gregor.

Mateja \u0160trajhar, a wonderful person, asked me if we could do a private interview about the club and my new business.<br>And the day came when Mateja came to my home<strong> Vortex centre<\/strong>, where we had an interview.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/petraam.com\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2024\/10\/Zakulisje-1-1-768x1024.jpg.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12799\" style=\"width:423px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/petraam.com\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2024\/10\/Zakulisje-1-1-768x1024.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/petraam.com\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2024\/10\/Zakulisje-1-1-225x300.jpg.webp 225w, https:\/\/petraam.com\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2024\/10\/Zakulisje-1-1-1152x1536.jpg.webp 1152w, https:\/\/petraam.com\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2024\/10\/Zakulisje-1-1-600x800.jpg.webp 600w, https:\/\/petraam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Zakulisje-1-1.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-colibri-color-6-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-11 wp-block-paragraph\">To thank her, I invited her to an introductory Heal Your Life\u00ae coaching session, which is part of the programme. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-colibri-color-6-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-12 wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/petraam.com\/en\/katera-celota-si-ti\/\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-colibri-color-1-color\">WHAT A WHOLE YOU ARE. <\/mark><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-colibri-color-6-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-13 wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-colibri-color-6-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-14 wp-block-paragraph\">At the end of the meeting, Mateja was so impressed by the programme that she said she would come to the whole thing. As I found out during the conversation that Mateja was in a partnership and as I had already done the couples' programmes and had received wonderful feedback on the programme, I suggested that they both come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-colibri-color-6-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-15 wp-block-paragraph\"><br><strong>SHE SAID, OK, I'LL ASK HIM IF HE'D LIKE TO COME WITH ME<\/strong>.<br>And Samo was FOR it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-colibri-color-6-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-16 wp-block-paragraph\"><br>What a transformation has taken place through the meetings, incredible. Looking back to the beginning, Sam's main wish was to have more time to himself and to spend less time on the phone. And Mateja wanted to free herself from the fear that often limited her on her journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-colibri-color-6-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-17 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>WHERE DID YOU ENJOY IT MOST?<\/strong><br>Mateja loves affirmations, she has been a wonderful student and affirmations have become a constant part of her daily life. Fear became her friend, she embraced it and skilfully turned it to her advantage.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-colibri-color-6-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-18 wp-block-paragraph\">He just couldn't wait for the visualisations, they really brought him joy and new insights into how he could look at his time differently. Through the meetings he has also started to read a lot, and now he often exchanges books for his phone.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-colibri-color-6-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-19 wp-block-paragraph\">I knew they were enjoying it because they told me several times during the meetings that it was the best decision they made to come together to the programme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-colibri-color-6-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-20 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>AND WHAT WAS THE ICING ON THE CAKE FOR THEM IN MY PROGRAMME?<\/strong><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-colibri-color-6-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-21 wp-block-paragraph\">He just, in an exercise of forgiveness, forgave himself for a thing that had been restricting him for a long time, so that he could be relaxed on a daily basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-colibri-color-6-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-22 wp-block-paragraph\"><br>At the last meeting, Mateja saw the title of the first book she wants to write in the last visualisation.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-colibri-color-6-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-23 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>ISN'T THAT JUST WONDERFUL<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-colibri-color-6-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-24 wp-block-paragraph\">All this is also evidenced by the statements sent by Mateja and Samo after the 6-week live programme. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/petraam.com\/en\/two-in-total\/\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-colibri-color-1-color\">TWO IN TOTAL.<\/mark><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/petraam.com\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2024\/10\/Samo__Mateja-768x1024.jpg.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12800\" style=\"width:513px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/petraam.com\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2024\/10\/Samo__Mateja-768x1024.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/petraam.com\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2024\/10\/Samo__Mateja-225x300.jpg.webp 225w, https:\/\/petraam.com\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2024\/10\/Samo__Mateja-1152x1536.jpg.webp 1152w, https:\/\/petraam.com\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2024\/10\/Samo__Mateja-600x800.jpg.webp 600w, https:\/\/petraam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Samo__Mateja.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-colibri-color-6-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-25 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Just Skvar\u010da<\/strong><br>\u201d<em>The Two Wholes Together programme has brought an incredible calmness to my life. Together with my partner Matej, under Petra's exceptional mentoring, I have reached a higher level of personal satisfaction.

With Petra's compassionate guidance, her experience, and above all her broad and deep knowledge, step by step we got rid of old but limiting patterns and started to live without the shackles of the past, to appreciate and enjoy the present moment, and to look forward to the future and all that lies ahead for both of us (and for each of us) on the path of life. We now trust that wonderful experiences are coming our way, both personally and professionally, and we are more than well equipped to deal with the possible downsides at the end of the programme.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-colibri-color-6-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-27 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Both together<\/strong><br>\u201d<em>We recommend the Two Wholes Together programme for couples who want something more in their relationship and in their lives.
