Marriage has seasons; stages of life impact our capacity with our partners - each stage comes with natural challenges to our connection and it’s completely normal to have ups and downs in marriage.
Our western culture has us believing that if we had the right partner, our marriage would never get to the point of not being heard, feeling so distant and being
stuck in loops of activation and shutdown.
You and your husband have spent so much time and energy creating the life you have. And while you still feel the whisper of the marriage you long for, you hate to admit that it feels nearly impossible now.
If you’re not ready end it yet - and you know the truth is “all relationships come with differences and disappointment” - you are READY for this program.
You are ready for more joy, more authentic connection and to reclaim your power to change how you are experiencing your marriage.
About Mallika’s Work
“I find myself gaining the courage to take small risks in my relationships. Sometimes, these risks have deepened my relationships; other times, they have not. Every time, though, I showed up as my authentic self, and that has been freeing and deeply satisfying.”
— K.G.“I’ve uncovered old patterns keeping me stuck—like rushing to connect, but then closing off. This awareness helps me receive deeper, moment-to-moment satisfaction. I feel more accepting of myself now, not holding myself to unreasonable expectations and more spaciousness to be and feel more of who I truly am."
— M.B.“I have found the wisdom in my anger. Instead of pushing it down, I’ve learned validate my feelings with compassion, and to speak up from a grounded, whole, authentic self.”
— I.B.

Meet Mallika
Action helps us create functionally effective tools in real time.
I guide women from a body of work that synthesizes the foundational psychology of human nature with practical and concrete tools and practices to experience change and satisfaction today, rather than waiting to arrive at a fantastical future “healed self”.
I help you create a foundation of growth in your life, so that your marriage, all your relationships, are the fertile ground within which you can root, rise and radiate.
I stand and take action towards a world where no one works alone, where change happens when we are all committed, and your authentic power propels you to share your dharma with this change world that is so ready for you.
I am honored to witness and support you to take up your true purpose, and live a life of truth, power and purpose!
I am a woman, wife, daughter, artist, yogi, and mother of two daughters, ages 14 and 11. I value truth, dharma, presence, wildness, joy, and tending to the systems that matter to us.
As a therapist and coach, I have spent years holding stories, opening to possibility and helping clients see themselves as perfect, just the way they are. I believe we are designed in perfection, and life is a mirror for our spiritual evolution.
I have worked for 15+ years with clients, women and couples, and yet my greatest learning has been through my own marriage.
I am here to shed light on a path that I too have walked and that has worked!
As the world has changed so much in the last 6 years, I have found that “holding space” for growth is only one part of the process that leads to transformation.
We need action.
“I experienced a pivotal shift in my marriage when I learned to identify and communicate my feelings without needing my partner to fix them, using phrases like "I just need to tell you I'm feeling angry." He doesn’t get as defensive and I don’t just hold it all alone.”
“I used to process everything to death—journaling, analyzing, trying to ‘figure it out.’ It helped me understand things, but it didn’t change how I showed up in real time. The work I’ve done with Mallika has helped me to slow down and really have compassion for myself and my husband. From there I can actually respond differently in the moment.”

In my year of experience of working with couples, what I have seen is that women are READY. But working as a couple is like running a three-legged-race - you’re tripping over each other and barely making it to the finish line.
Working with women individually (and in group programs), they are able to understand faster, integrate deeper and circle back to wisdom with their husbands faster. Like a relay race.
As you do this work and get skilled at deep relational wisdom, you work becomes more efficient, more impactful and you can show up with your authentic leadership skills.
So, the long answer is, yes. This work you are doing within yourself WILL impact your marriage.
