"More impactful than anything I’ve tried in 30 years of relationship work."
“Perel, Gottman, Real… I’ve studied them all. This work actually changed my life. It gave me new eyes. A new language. And a deeper love I didn’t think was possible.”
— Ann Rea, Fine Artist & Business Mentor
You’re Still Together. But You’re Not Really With Each Other.
You don’t hate each other.
You still share meals. Manage the mornings. Tag-team the chaos.
But something vital slipped. Quietly.
The pull. The warmth. The field that once sparked between your bodies.
Now you feel more seen by the barista than by your own partner.
Laugh more freely at work than in your own kitchen.
Reach for your phones more often than for each other in the kitchen and feel... nothing
And when someone asks how things are?
You give the same polished answer while your chest tightens under the weight of everything you’re not saying.
And no matter how many “big talks” you’ve had…
How many books or podcasts you’ve saved for later...
How many therapy sessions you’ve sat through…
Nothing really shifts.
Because even with all the insight, effort, and careful conversation, the distance and the weight have set-in.
And this is what it looks like…
You’ve become experts in each other’s attachment styles—able to analyze and unpack with precision, but can’t remember the last time you looked at each other and felt hunger instead of disappointment.
You watch them scroll for hours—more interested in some stranger’s “get ready with me” reel than your presence in the room.
You navigate each other’s triggers like landmines—tiptoeing with caution instead of cultivating anything that feels real and alive.
You crave touch and intimacy but don’t know how to ask for it without sounding needy or starting a fight.
You follow the gurus—but their clean frameworks go up in flames within the friction of kids, careers, and overtaxed nervous system can't perform a 4-step communication script when you're tired and triggered at 11pm.
You’ve had the “relationship talk” dozens of times. Each time, it gives you hope—for a week. Maybe two. Until you both fall back into the same distance with more shame, fear and frustration than before.
You fantasize about how it would feel to be seen, desired and chosen again—and are terrified it might not be possible here. In this relationship. With them.
The Impossible Cost of Staying in a Relationship That Feels Cold, Closed, and Fragile
How many more cadaverous pecks on the cheek...
How many more “I’m fine”s spoken through gritted teeth and guarded hearts...
How many more side-hugs, and nights of lying next to each other, worlds apart…
Can your relationship realistically survive?
Your nervous system wasn’t wired for this much contraction.
Your body needs heat to stay alive.
Your heart—no matter how patient—will eventually reach for warmth somewhere else.
And the gaze?
Whether it’s yours or theirs…
Will either withdraw... or wander.
Not out of betrayal. But out of biological mercy.
No one was made for this
kind of endless endurance.
For loving through numbness.
For faking warmth in public while your body goes cold in private.
For trading aliveness for the cheap comfort of “at least we’re still together.”
And if you stay here long enough…
The distance doesn’t just linger.
It hardens.
Bitterness seeps into the bones.
Becomes your new baseline.
Becomes the “love” you model and the legacy you leave…
Until you choose to break it.

But What If Everything You've Been Told About "Fixing" Your Relationships Is Backwards?
Here's what the relationship industry won't tell you:
You can’t talk your way back to magnetic intimacy.
You can’t process your way back to that electric pull.
You can’t understand your way back into each other’s arms.
Because you're trying to create closeness from distance.
Think about it:
You're sitting in a therapist's office, dissecting what's wrong—when what you actually need is to close the gap first.
You're analyzing the past—when what you need is to create new experiences of safety, warmth and desire right now.
You're becoming experts in each other's wounds—when what you're starving for is to become experts in each other's magic again.
You don’t need one more insight.
One more late-night talk.
One more forced date night that leaves you lonelier than before
You Need an “Intimacy Override”
Most approaches say you need to heal before you can be intimate.
Process the wounds. Regulate your nervous system. Then you get to be close.
The Intimacy Override flips that:
You use closeness to heal. You reach for each other before you're fully ready—and let the reaching itself repair the bond.
Not bypassing the wounds. But refusing to let them be the gatekeeper for connection.
So instead of starting with heavy talks or old wounds, CLOSER starts by shifting the micro habits that quietly kill connection:
The rushed speech. The screen time. The distance—even when you're in the same room.
Through simple, real-time shifts, you rewire how it feels to be around each other.
Warmth returns. Safety returns. The pull returns.
Before you ever need a "deep conversation."
When You’re Ready To Bridge The Distance & Reignite Your Connection Without a Single “Hard Conversation”, It’ll Be My Pleasure To Welcome You Into:
CLOSER
Your 30-Day Relationship Reconnection Protocol to Bring Back the Heat, the Heart, and the “Holy F*ck, We’re Us Again” Intimacy
This isn't about learning more or processing endlessly.
It's about changing how it feels to be around each other.
You'll start with small daily shifts:
Slowing your speech when they enter the room. Moving closer instead of calling across the house. Reaching first instead of waiting.
Then, when you're ready, you'll go deeper:
Clearing practices that release the weight. Connection rituals that open desire. Whether you move through all 30 days in order or take it at your own pace—the smallest changes create the biggest shifts.
Here's what happens:
The tension dissolves. The weight lifts. The pull returns.
Before you ever need to talk about it.

What It Feels Like When the
Distance Finally Starts to Melt
You’re mid-sentence, expecting the usual distraction—when they pause, hold your gaze, and say, “I want to hear the rest.”
You speak a soft truth, bracing for shutdown—but instead, they exhale and move closer, like they’ve been waiting for this too.
The old resentment stops leading. You can feel it. They're seeing you again—not your past, not your patterns. You.
In front of your kids, they place a steady hand on your back. You don’t flinch. You lean in. Something in your chest unlocks.
You lie in bed, not reaching—and then feel their hand find yours beneath the covers..
You catch them watching you—not with duty or fatigue, but with fresh eyes and returning hunger. That quiet awe. That “yes, you”.
That background panic you’ve been carrying—the one that threatened “this could all fall apart”—starts dissolving. The ground feels safe again.
How the Next 30 Days Can Bring Back Everything You've Been Missing & More
Phase 1:
CLOSING THE DISTANCE
Before closeness can return, you have to name what's been growing between you.
Not with more talking. With seeing—clearly, without blame.
This phase dismantles the distance at its root without more labor or emotional risk:
You'll learn the 7 Closer Codes—small, low-stakes / high-yield shifts that dissolve the drift faster than any conversation ever could.
Here’s what we explore:
- The small everyday behaviors that signal distance—and how to flip them into warmth.
- Why you may feel more at ease with strangers than the person you love—and how to start reversing that.
- How to stop relating to your partner as a “project”—and start seeing the real human again.
- The 3 relational myths that make reconnection feel impossible—and the micro-practices that begin melting the ice.
- The first daily shift that begins closing the gap—even if they don’t know you’re doing it.
- The 7 Closer Codes—micro-shifts in how you move, speak, and show up that rewire everything
Phase 2:
RELEASING THE WEIGHT
Distance is painful. But The Weight is what makes it feel permanent and unbridgeable.
This is where disconnection hardens into judgment. Resentment builds quietly. And the person you once reached for starts to feel more like a burden than a beloved.
In this phase, you’ll begin releasing the emotional heaviness that keeps you apart.
You’ll stop carrying the relationship on clenched teeth and start relating from clean ground.
Here’s what we explore:
- How silent resentments become the atmosphere between you—and why trying to “talk it out” often backfires.
- The subtle ways you’re putting your partner on trial every day—and how to release the role of silent judge.
- Why the past keeps repeating itself in your nervous system… and how to finally interrupt the loop.
- The Dialogue Detox to eliminate the language patterns that give rise to judgment and resentment.
Phase 3:
THE ART OF THE REACH
Once the weight begins to lift, something sacred becomes possible again: initiation.
This phase is about learning to reach—not from fear, performance, or pressure—but from devotion.
You’ll practice small, low-stakes gestures that create the conditions for closeness to return… without chasing, demanding, or collapsing yourself in the process.
Here’s what we explore:
- The difference between a bid and a bridge—and why one builds connection, while the other exhausts it.
- Why most “requests” actually feel like demands—and how to reframe them so they inspire, not repel.
- The 5 masculine and feminine “bridge gestures” that reopen the relational channel
- Why reaching often feels dangerous—and how to do it without triggering old shutdown patterns.
- How to respond to your partner’s bridges without minimizing, performing, or closing..
Phase 4:
THE ECSTASY OF CLOSENESS
This is where desire returns.
Not as pressure. Not as performance. But as permission—to want each other again.
After weeks of shifting and softening, the space between you can finally hold intimacy. Not just emotional closeness.
Heat. Presence. Eros.
Here’s what we explore:
- How to bring back closeness without force—even if one or both of you still feels guarded.
- Why most relationships only allow 40% of who you are—and how to gently invite the rest in.
- The “Claimed” Ceremony to re-awaken shared desire and vision.
- The 5 Core Gazes that reignite polarity and presence—without needing long talks or perfect timing.
- A practice for energetic intimacy—for when words fall short, but the body still wants to be felt.

What Individuals & Couples are Saying About Hendrix’s Books & Programs
Do I do this solo or with my partner?
Closer was designed to work even if only one partner initially takes the lead.
You don’t need to book time together and huddle around a laptop in those precious few hours while the kids are asleep.
One person can begin shifting the dynamic—and when the field changes, everything changes.
That said: if your partner genuinely desires to join you, it can be a beautiful shared practice.
And if they’re hesitant? We’ve included ON-BOARD —a gentle, powerful workshop and healing ceremony for inviting them in without pressure or pushback.
What exactly is Closer?
Closer is a 30-Day Relational Reconnection Protocol.
It’s made up of clear daily actions, mindset shifts, healing practices, and transformative ceremonies that:
- Bridge the emotional and energetic gap between you
- Restore magnetic heat, humor, and attunement
- Help you relate to your partner through magic, not just their wounds
- Rebuild intimacy through presence, not pressure
How is this different from couple’s counselling, communication scripts, or another relationship course?
Most of those start with talking—and assume both people are emotionally available, regulated, and ready to connect.
But when things feel fragile or distant, talking can deepen disconnection. It puts pressure on a system already guarded.
CLOSER flips the script: Instead of “solving” the relationship through analysis, you shift the emotional field through what we call The Intimacy Override Protocol™— a 30-day experience of low-stakes, high-impact relational gestures that make closeness safe, mutual, and magnetic again.
And it only takes one partner to start.
I've bought other relationship programs but never finished them. Will this be different?
Yes—because CLOSER was designed for your actual life.
Most programs demand hours of study, perfect buy-in from both partners, and emotional bandwidth you don't have.
CLOSER gives you the minimum effective dose: short lessons, immediate practices, and shifts you can feel this week—even if you only apply 20% of it.
We’re both busy with careers, kids, and life. Do we even have time for this?
This isn’t about adding more to your to-do list.
It’s about removing the emotional friction that’s draining you both.
CLOSER was built for real life. Short lessons. Immediately practical without sacrificing depth.
Just the essentials—the theory you need, the orientation that shifts you, and the daily “Connection Codes” that act as upgrades to your current patterns.
It doesn’t demand more time.
It just replaces cold habits with warm ones.
You’ll feel the difference in how you move around each other within days.
I want to invite my partner… but I’m afraid they’ll shut down or get defensive.
We hear this all the time. And it's natural to want them involved.
That's why you'll receive ON-BOARD—a bonus workshop that shows you how to extend the invitation without triggering resistance.
But if they're still hesitant?
You can go first.
When you shift, the relational field shifts—and they start showing up differently.
What if I don’t follow everything perfectly?
Most courses are built like part-time jobs: 12 modules, hours of journaling, theory that assumes you have unlimited emotional bandwidth.
CLOSER was built for your actual life.
The one with career demands, emotional fatigue, kids fighting over snacks, and a nervous system that’s already doing the best it can.
Even if you only apply 20% of this protocol, you'll feel the shift. That's how it's designed.
There's no "doing it right." Only what’s right for you.
Do what’s within range—and watch the warmth return.
60-Day Guarantee | If You Don’t Feel Warmth Return, You Get a Full Refund.
Closer Will Serve As Your Relationship Turning Point—If These Feel True
You don't need another long-winded course.
You need one powerful shift that changes everything.
CLOSER was designed to create that shift—fast.
Without doing it perfectly.
Without years of processing.
Without your partner's immediate buy-in.
You’ll Benefit Most if…
You’re in a safe relationship— no history of abuse, just a deep ache from the disconnection.
You still want each other—not out of obligation, but from a quiet longing that hasn't died.
You've tried therapy, talks, books, retreats—but the closeness never sticks
You’re willing to go first—and it feels empowering (not victimizing) to lead the shift
You want embodied connection, not more conversations—ritual and presence, not emotional homework or forced date nights
You’re tired of performing love. You want to actually feel it again—without walking on eggshells or faking smiles.
You don’t need perfection—you just want a real, felt return of warmth, safety, desire, and connection... even if it’s subtle at first.
Start now. Start imperfectly. Start while you still can.
