Rooted Couples
If you're looking for a coaching experience as a couple to help you forge deeper connection and support you with clarity, vision and planning for as wholesome life. Check out this page, to see how coaching as a couple helps you explore and root life & career directions together.
Valuing your individuality and your connected collective.
Rooted Couples
You're not here because something is broken. You're here because you know there's more to be gained together, more alignment, more intention, more space & connection. The life you've been imagining together, is in the making. You just need some space to bring that vision together and feel rooted in your actions, grounded by your own 'North Star'.
​
Couples coaching with Where the Mind Grows is not therapy, though it is therapeutic. I don't work with couples at breaking point, or crisis. You'll be seeking this space for rooting what already feels good, but you know has space to grow and be enriched.
​​
I'll meet you where you are two people who love & care for each other, feel life is good in many ways and are ready to ask those deeper questions.
​
What does a wholesome, beautiful life actually look like for you both, individually and together?
​
Coaching doesn't feed you answers, or leave you feeling like all you've done is talked whilst nothing changed.
Coaching together offers insight. I act as guide and facilitator to your experiences, support needs and aims.
Help you ask and answer those important questions that create lightness and possibility. As well as being practical and pragmatic.
​
I don't need to have walked your shoes or share your life experiences for our work together to be impactful. I stand as a neutral deep listener, I help mirror back what is being said or going unspoken and help you gain clarity, forge intention and grow the confidence in how to create the life you'd both love to live.
​
No one couple is the same, so I never try to fit you into a box or compare you. As a nature-led coach, I help you understand your life and family as a living and adaptive system. An ecosystem. This allows us to work holistically (Seeing your whole selves), dynamically with the needs that emerge in each session, whilst maintaining an over-arching view on your goals.
​
Using a range of resources, adapted to you both, the process can feel therapeutic. Not overlooking life experiences, beliefs and inner values in our work together.
​
Helping you to leave not only clear on next steps but also ensuring the plan is nourished and sustainable inside and out.
​
"You don't need to be struggling to do this work. You just need to be curious about what's possible" JK
Is this for us?
Our coaching in Nature packages are cultivated for couples who are, broadly speaking, in a good place together but you might feel like you are at a threshold. Something has shifted, or is shifting, and you want to meet it together rather than let it carry you separately.
​
Perhaps one or both of you is navigating a significant life change a health wake-up call, a career crossroads, an inheritance that changes things, or the beginning of a new chapter like starting a family. Perhaps nothing dramatic has happened at all, but there's a sense that you want to live more intentionally than you currently are. Perhaps slow the pace, align more deeply with purpose and values.
Even the happiest of couples I work with cite that things like work/life balance, finances, making time and space for everything can feel tricky to align. Coaching helps you suss all that out.
​
Not just with practical planning, but with deeper shifts too. Coaching helps you grow communication skills so that there is more freedom to align, be understood, handle those times that call for resilience and enjoy your individuality, whilst being part of a bigger whole!
​
Most couples I work with are between 30-50 years old. You don't have to be a 'conventional' couple. You may be co-habiting or living separately. I work with same sex couples or heterosexual couples. From monogamous to polyamorous.
You'll both be interested and engaged in this opportunity and be ready to:
​
-
Step back from the busyness and ask what you actually want life to look like
-
Explore individual values, beliefs and visions align and where they diverge
-
Work through the inner narratives that can keep things stuck or unclear.
-
Create a shared vision and a real, grounded plan for living it
-
Identify how to create change, momentum and learn from the feedback your experiences and actions create for you.
You might be at a junction in life. You might simply be ready to get rooted and start designing.
Investing in a coach together is deeply rewarding and explorative work. Its important to know we are a great fit to work together. We find that out through a 30 minute discovery call together.

What is couples coaching with Where the Mind Grows?
Couples coaching at Where the Mind Grows sits at the intersection of vision work, values exploration and inner belief work. It's reflective, creative and deeply personal. Most of our sessions take place within a beautiful woodland setting. An environment that helps you both drop your shoulders, breathe deeply and think more clearly than you might behind a screen or across a kitchen table. (Sessions are also available online too, we discuss this at our discovery call).
​
Together we'll explore:
​​
-
The overall time together will take you through a design plan approach, helping you consider opportunities and find solutions to your intentions and actions.
-
Some deep listening space to help focus on your hopes and intentions.
-
Help to sense into the 'being' part of your aims together, not just the 'doing'.
-
Your shared and individual values what you're each rooted in, and what you're reaching towards
-
The beliefs and stories you carry, individually and as a couple, that shape how you see what's possible (or not).
-
Your vision for life not just a five-year plan full of metrics, but a felt sense of the life you want to be living & how to create that
-
Where you are in alignment and where you might need to find a new shared language together.
-
Practical steps and intentions grounded, honest, and genuinely yours that holds the energy of potential not burden
-
A chance to celebrate and draw on existing strengths.
This is not about fixing each other. Instead seeing each other more clearly, understanding the 'map' for your future life adventures and connection and using that clarity to bring to life something beautiful and wholesome together.
How we work together
Couples Coaching is offered in two formats, depending on what suits your lives, needs and learning styles:
The Immersive Retreat Experience — 2 to 3 Days
An immersive, unhurried experience held over two to three days from the woods and accommodation onsite at Little Seed Field (HG4 3PU), designed to give you the focus and space that meaningful change actually needs. Making the whole experience like a mini retreat just for you both. Away from the daily rhythm, the to-do lists, the pings, the noise from your phone, you'll have space to think together, move through the work at a gentle pace, and let things land properly.
​
These sessions take place in and around nature woodland, open countryside, quiet and carefully chosen spaces that actively support the depth of conversation & shifts you're here to have. Time for breaks, meals, reflection time and chill-out moments are woven into the structure alongside the coaching work itself.
This is for couples who want to dive deep, make meaningful shifts, and return home with a genuine sense of having changed something together.
Following our time together, we'll meet online 1-3 months after the session for 60-90 minutes to help with the momentum you created during your time in the wild.
Online or In Nature - typically 4 to 6 Sessions
A series of four to six sessions held either online via Zoom or in nature at the woods, walking, sitting, moving through the landscape as you talk. Sessions are spread across several weeks, allowing time between conversations for reflection, small experiments and natural integration.
The nature-based option takes place in private woodland in North Yorkshire the kind of landscape that rests the mind without you even noticing it's happening. Online sessions are available for those further afield or for whom the outdoors isn't accessible right now.
This format suits couples who want to move through the work at their own pace, weaving it into their lives rather than stepping away from them to deep dive.
Why Nature is a part of this?
I've been working in and alongside Nature for over seven years now. Seeing first hand what a difference this makes to people's body and mind.
Both of you, often without realising it, become a little more open to each other, to what you're thinking, to what might be possible.
At Where the Mind Grows, nature isn't a backdrop or a gimmick. It's an active part of the process, a co-facilitator in what we do together (even online). Working in and alongside the natural world creates conditions that are genuinely hard to replicate indoors helping regulate emotions and activate solution focused parts of our brain.
Walking side by side rather than sitting opposite each other can change the quality of a conversation entirely. Awe the kind of delight offered by a view, a bird, the light through a canopy creates the mental and emotional conditions that support problem-solving, creativity and connection.
But it goes deeper than biology. Nature has been solving the problems of complexity, change, renewal and resilience for billions of years. A forest isn't just beautiful it's a living system of reciprocity, cyclical growth, interdependence and trust. There's a great deal in that for two people who are trying to build a life together. So expect to learn from Nature too.
What you'll come away with:
​
Every couple is different, and so every experience of this work will be different too. But in general, people leave with:
​
-
Greater clarity on their shared values and what those actually mean for daily life
-
A co-created 'design plan' a vision for those next chapters one that belongs to both of you
-
Seeing the bigger picture and the detail - the opportunity to zoom in and out of life's aims and intentions (the bird and the worm view)
-
A deeper understanding of your individual beliefs, values and the patterns that help to optimise making that happen
-
Tangible practices, 'rituals' and habits that 'nourish the soil' sustainably.
-
An understanding of how seasons & cycles can guide you in optimising life
-
Real, workable intentions not a rigid plan, but a living compass that guides you
-
Answers to important questions.
-
Clarity on your 'North Star' & Missing Piece.
-
A renewed sense of partnership, creativity and possibility
-
A celebration of strengths and individuality.
-
Understanding energy as currency and how to cultivate abundance through 7 forms of capital.
-
Ways to bring it to life & the confidence in how to do that.
And, often, something less named; a feeling of having been deeply heard and connected, with each other and by the approach.
Meet your coach, JK
Hi, I am JK (Jennie-Kate) McQuinn. Coach, Founder and facilitator of Where the Mind Grows.
​My time working with couples began as individual sessions where both couples had space to explore and come together separately.
But I saw how impactful sessions could be together.
Especially in Nature. Coaching isn't therapy but its deeply therapeutic as it can help you work on inner beliefs and emotions that may be formed from past life experiences.
​
For myself and my husband the Natural world as been an integral part of our family system. Learning from it for alignment and health and well-being. As well as having the most wonderful experiences across the world.
Its supported resilience, and a walk in the woods is the best place to reflect, reset and chat together.
​
Taking my experience from regenerative leadership we have personally used many of the activities and approaches I'll share with you, to co-design a way of living and being that brings out the simple beautiful and abundant parts of life. Helping stay rooted in those stormier moments life brings too.
​​
But our life, isn't yours and I don't expect you to try and fit to that.
​
The beauty about coaching couples is I don't need to have lived or experienced your own lifestyle to help you create the change you desire. In fact, having a neutral perspective helps me be a deeper listener and support challenge and encouragement, where you feel most stuck. I am here, to help you make the most of this beautiful life you are creating together. ​
​
Random fact about me, I surprised my husband on our wedding day when I was 'squawked' down the aisle by an Eagle Owl called Ivan. (evidence below!)
