Hosted By:
Tamara Henningham
CYW, MSW, RSW
Tamara is the Clinical Director and founder of TimeForUS, and a highly sought-after relationship therapist. Over her years of practice, she noticed a powerful theme: couples long for a space to slow down, reconnect, and reignite their spark.
With this in mind, she created the TimeForTwo Couples Retreat — a 3-day getaway designed to help partners breathe again, release guilt, and rediscover the confidence that their relationship holds everything it needs to thrive.
Tamara brings a blend of clinical wisdom and heartfelt compassion, guiding couples with practical strategies that strengthen intimacy, heal emotional wounds, and inspire partners to become the version of themselves they always hoped to be — both for their relationship and for themselves.
Co-Hosted By:

At the retreat, Greg brings his steady presence, wealth of knowledge, and ability to create safe spaces where men feel seen and supported. His work around communication, anger management, and emotional resilience provides couples with the tools they need to navigate conflict and grow closer instead of apart.
