About This Course
Your Struggles, Solved
Intimacy is the heartbeat of your relationship. As daily routines take over, that sense of deep connection often fades, leaving couples feeling more like roommates than lovers.

- Communication Mismatches - Your different processing styles (internal vs. external) create frustration when discussing important relationship matters.
- Emotional Distance - Despite living together, you feel worlds apart emotionally, unsure how to bridge the growing gap.
This course teaches you the 7-step Intimacy Roadmap to transform your relationship from routine to remarkable. You'll learn techniques to build emotional safety as the foundation for deeper physical connection. By understanding your unique roles and communication styles, you'll develop practical skills to reignite intimacy across emotional, physical, and sexual dimensions.

The Intimacy Institute
Sexologist & Sex Therapist
Dr. Jenni Skyler and Daniel Lebowitz, founders of The Intimacy Institute, bring 14+ years of transforming relationships through their groundbreaking co-therapy model. As a PhD in Clinical Sexology and Board-Certified Sexologist paired with a masters in Marriage and Family Therapy, this married team has developed the revolutionary 7-step Intimacy Roadmap Framework that's helped couples in 27+ countries reconnect.
Jenni and Daniel's journey into intimacy work began with their own relationship struggles. They discovered firsthand that traditional approaches to couples therapy often missed the emotional foundations of sexual connection. This personal challenge inspired them to pioneer a different approach—one that treats both partners simultaneously and addresses the root causes of disconnection rather than just the symptoms, allowing them to transform their own relationship alongside those of their clients.
Their unique teaching philosophy combines clinical expertise with real vulnerability—sharing experiences from their own marriage to make complex concepts accessible. Rather than generic advice, they provide a structured communication toolbox that transforms "transactional sex" into profound connection. Their approach feels like supportive friends guiding you through evidence-based techniques that create emotional safety as the foundation for physical intimacy.
Course FAQ
Absolutely! Whether you're experiencing minor disconnection or feeling like roommates, the 7-Step Intimacy Roadmap is designed to meet you where you are. Dr. Jenni Skyler and The Intimacy Institute have created this framework specifically to be accessible for couples at various stages of emotional distance, from those who want to enhance an already good connection to those who need to rebuild from the foundation up.
The course provides practical, step-by-step exercises that easily integrate into your existing routine. You'll learn emotional safety techniques and communication frameworks that take just minutes a day to practice, along with guided sensual presence activities for deeper connection. Each module includes real-life application suggestions that help you gradually build intimacy without overwhelming your schedule.
While the course is most effective when both partners participate, one partner can begin the journey and share key insights. The Intimacy Dialogue Framework specifically teaches you how to invite your partner into the process respectfully. Many students report that their partner's interest naturally grows as they witness positive changes in communication and emotional connection.
Many couples report feeling a shift in their connection after implementing just the first two steps of the Intimacy Roadmap, often within the first week. The communication techniques typically show immediate benefits in reducing misunderstandings. However, the deeper work of building emotional safety and rekindling desire is a gradual process that unfolds over weeks and months as you consistently apply what you've learned.
Unlike generic relationship advice, this roadmap integrates emotional, communicative, and physical dimensions into one cohesive system based on The Intimacy Institute's clinical expertise. The unique focus on processing style recognition addresses the root of many communication breakdowns, while the emotional safety techniques create the foundation necessary for genuine physical reconnection. This holistic approach ensures you're not just treating symptoms but building lasting intimacy.
Dr. Jenni Skyler has created this course with sensitivity to varying comfort levels. The material progressively builds from emotional connection to more intimate topics, allowing you to move at your own pace. The practical frameworks actually help reduce awkwardness by providing clear language and structured approaches to discussions that might otherwise feel uncomfortable.
Yes - many students come to this course after trying others because the 7-Step Intimacy Roadmap addresses the fundamental foundation often missed in other approaches: emotional safety as the prerequisite for true connection. By focusing on your unique processing styles and communication patterns first, you create the necessary groundwork for the sensual reconnection techniques to be effective, breaking the cycle of temporary fixes.
