Welcome to Awakened Partnership!
We're a husband-and-wife duo teaching emotional and relational tools to transform our most intimate relationships.
Hi there!
We’re Edmond Lau and Candace Sauvé, a husband-and-wife duo who coach and facilitate.
We teach people how to consciously create romantic partnerships where they're committing to support each other’s growth, freedom, and fullest expression in the world.
And we’re really excited to have you on this journey with us.
A few fun tidbits about us:
We both used to work in Silicon Valley — Edmond as an engineer and leadership coach, Candace as a headhunter and customer success leader — until we discovered teaching about emotions and intimate relationships as our life calling.
We fell in love at our first dance — Edmond wove through a hundred people on the San Francisco Ecstatic dance floor in pursuit of the beautiful goddess he spotted. You can read our personal accounts of the story on Instagram here and here.
We’re deeply committed to truth and living honestly with each other. That’s meant navigating challenging chapters — working through joint finances and prenuptial agreements, power dynamics, sexual attraction, healing family relationships, trauma healing, triggers, anger, shame, and more.
We’ve had a lot of support in our journey together. We spent thousands of hours and over a hundred thousand dollars learning relational and emotional skills to navigate tension. And we’ve even built a world-class team of coaches to guide us along the way.
In addition to our writing, we also run online and in-person programs teaching individuals and couples the emotional and relational tools they need to create freedom in their partnerships and in their lives. Stay tuned for details of upcoming events.
As part of our newsletter, we’re committed to —
Using our writing to distill and share the best of what we've learned.
Inspiring a new way of relating — by teaching powerful relational tools around emotions, communication, rupture and repair, devotion, sexuality, and attraction.
Being honest about the joys as well as the hardships that show up in marriage and romantic relationships.
Listening to your comments and feedback to inspire what we share.
Thank you for joining us on the journey!
If this email touched you in some way, it would feel wonderful to hear from you in the comments.
Love,
Edmond & Candace
