You love your family. But you miss your partner.
The days are full. The to-do lists are never-ending.
And even when you finally sit down… the distance between you feels greater than ever.
You still share a bed. Still share a life. But touch is rare. Conversations are functional.
And sex? Maybe a memory. Maybe a duty. Maybe just… gone.
At Nuna Holistic Retreat Center in Sarasota, we work with couples who love their children, love each other—and still feel like they’ve lost themselves in the overwhelm.
Because the real cost of parenting isn’t just sleep deprivation—it’s the quiet erosion of connection.
Parenting Doesn’t Break Intimacy. Stress and Disconnection Do.
You’re not doing anything wrong.
You’ve been operating in survival mode: prioritizing your kids, your schedules, your responsibilities.
But your nervous systems have stopped prioritizing each other.
And without intentional repair, it becomes harder to feel closeness, safety, and desire.
At Nuna Holistic Retreat Center, we specialize in Somatic Healing and Emotional Healing—because true intimacy isn’t something you force with effort.
It’s something you restore with safety.
Our sessions help couples rediscover touch, trust, and emotional closeness through:
Somatic Massage & Bodywork to calm the body and reawaken physical presence
Somatic De-Armoring to release the subtle emotional defenses that form under stress
Somatic Coaching for Relationships and Intimacy to help you connect in real time, not just as parents but as partners
Holistic Somatic Healing sessions that bypass performance and create space for authentic intimacy to return
You’re not broken. You’re just overdue for reconnection.
A Familiar Story for So Many Parents
A couple came to us after their second child. They hadn’t had sex in nearly a year—not out of resentment, but exhaustion.
They shared,
“We love each other… but we’re not in love anymore.”
Through gentle somatic bodywork and guided coaching sessions, they began to reconnect—not just sexually, but emotionally.
They laughed again. Touched again. Felt again.
The wife said,
“I didn’t realize how much I missed being desired—not for what I do, but for who I am.”
The husband added,
“I thought we needed more time. What we needed was space to feel again.”
What the Science Shows
Parenthood often triggers chronic nervous system activation, reducing emotional availability and intimacy
The vagus nerve, which supports emotional bonding, becomes less responsive under constant stress
Somatic healing helps re-regulate both partners so desire, presence, and connection can naturally return
This isn’t about fixing your relationship.
It’s about giving your bodies the chance to relax into it again.
You Don’t Have to Be Strangers Forever
You don’t need a vacation or a grand gesture.
You just need a safe space to begin again.
