What our clients have to say...
Michelle Cassel
Relationship Coaching Client
“When Chris and I started working with Shawn, we had already filed for divorce after an affair because we could not figure out how to move forward. We had tried traditional therapy and that wasn't working, I tried keeping tabs on him as much as I could and this was driving me even more crazy- It all just became too much and I couldn't figure out how to trust him again.
​
Fast forward to now! I have full trust in him. Our connection is so strong now that I would never worry about him looking elsewhere for anything. We now actually solve challenges AS THEY COME UP- without fighting or avoiding!
We’re stronger and happier than when we were first married. And while I would never wish for an affair, it actually brought us closer together and more in love.”

"Working with Dr. Shawn Haywood was completely transformational for us personally and in our relationship! When we began it all seemed very bleak and we didn't have much hope for reconciliation after the affair. But, we wanted to try everything, if not for us, for our kids.
​
AND holy shit, I can't believe how quickly the vision of my husband with another woman faded, and how quickly we rebuilt trust and connection. I no longer feel alone or unheard. I feel deeply seen and appreciated and I have never been more in love with Micky.

Relationship Coaching Client
“I was feeling as though my relationship was falling apart and hopeless. I couldn’t see any positive and just knew it was a matter of time.
I’m feeling hopeful now. I see progress in both my partner and myself. We are opening up more to each other and implementing the tools we have learned and we have a much more solid foundation than we had before.
Our communication has gotten better and we are able to have hard and uncomfortable conversations. Also we are making more of an effort to respect and honor each other.”
Parker Wallace, On-Air Host/Producer, Business Maven
Relationship Coaching Client
"After working with Dr. Shawn Haywood, my relationship has completely transformed. We went from basically leading separate lives, and feeling so disconnected and alone, to not wanting to spend a minute apart. There is kindness, tenderness, care, connection and trust like never before. Thank you SO much to the Reimagine Love team, we are forever grateful for the changes you helped us make."
Monica Shah, Founder of Revenue Breakthrough, Business Coach
Relationship Coaching Client
"Shawn is simply brilliant. Within 5 minutes of being on the call, my husband said, "Man she knows her stuff, glad we are here!”. We learned how to come together behind a unified vision and to follow something better in our relationship then, “he’s right/she’s right”. Shawn’s work is nothing short of a necessity for all couples. I know that I’m trying to get every couple I know into her classes. This material should be mandatory. It’s way better than couples therapy or retreats because it goes under the surface into principles that really work."
Alexis Underwood, GA Pacific Executive, Loren Simmons, Sustainability Expert
Relationship Coaching Client
"Loren and I have been together for 11 years, we've changed A LOT over time. We knew we were falling into unhealthy patterns. But didn't know what to do about it for many years. We hoped there was a better way, a way with less friction and more happiness, but we couldn't find it on our own.
Transformation is a BIG word. But it is the best description for the couples retreat with Shawn. I can honestly say that we have never grown so much, and in just two days. Our marriage has taken a major quantum leap forward. After the retreat, the positive transformation has continued in ways we hadn't dared hope.
In the month following the retreat, we had 5 of the best-ever days together. Just ordinary days by most standard, but so amazing, loving and peaceful. We are feeling SO in love and positive for the future. The tools Shawn taught us keep propelling us forward and keep us deeply connected to each other. And now, several months later, everything continues to improve at a beautiful, steady pace.
Shawn gave us the best present anyone could ever ask for - a stronger relationship with the person I've chosen as my partner for this crazy roller coaster called life".​
Dr. Kate Mihevc Edwards PT, DPT, OCS, Owner of Precision Performance Atlanta
Relationship Coaching Client
"4 years ago my wife was diagnosed with a genetic heart condition that forced her to give up running, the thing she absolutely loved. It was a defining moment for our marriage. During this time, we both worked, which forced us to juggle schedules between work and being good parents to our son- and this sudden change in circumstance showed us we needed help!
Shawn was instrumental in opening our minds to new possibilities at a time when all of our current possibilities were being torn down. For Kate this meant opening up a new PT practice. For myself, it meant finding a deeper connection with who I am and the work that I wanted to do everyday. In couples coaching sessions, Shawn offered great feedback to help Kate and I solve challenges, and improve our relationship. In my career Shawn enabled me to get more comfortable honoring myself, setting boundaries between work and family, and relentlessly pursuing a better self. Kate has gone on to build a thriving PT business and write 2 books! I'm grateful to Shawn for her frank feedback, approaches to self-realization, and continued enthusiasm in our coaching sessions."

"Shawn has been a invaluable resource over the course of our relationship. Her insight has given me a grounded, loving perspective that has been crucial in my efforts to be both the person and partner I want to be. With her help we are learning to balance self-care, independence and partnership, while creating the healthy, joyful relationship we desire."
Jerry Hart & Tracy Mitzer
Relationship Coaching Clients
"My husband and I have been married for 13 years. We both had been feeling like we were in a slump in our relationship. We were bickering about minor things and resentment had built up over the years. Typical conflicts – disagreements about parenting, housekeeping, etc. What we agreed on was that we both still loved each other and we deserved, and had the potential for, a healthier and more loving day to day relationship.
I had worked with Shawn for starting a consulting business and had a great outcome from her professional coaching – I was able to get my business going and have fun doing it (whereas I was making very little progress on my own and it was a painful process).
I suggested to my husband that we do a couples retreat with Shawn and he agreed. I’m sure he was reluctant; he’d never done any type of counseling or coaching before and I think the unknown was a bit intimidating.
Shawn banished any of his concerns immediately. She’s warm and down to earth, and she made each of us feel heard and supported. Very quickly she was able to pin point some of the triggers for our conflicts and a lot of inaccurate stories we had developed about each other that were causing a lot of our conflicts.
She helped us develop new skills and processes that we have been able to put into practice (easily) to avoid conflict and have more fun together. It’s amazing how much more love we feel for each other without those distracting arguments!
A bonus outcome from our work with Shawn is that she helped us develop plans and processes for making our whole family run better and for teaching our kids skills to improve their relationships and emotional health.
This was a life changing experience and we are so grateful!!!! Thank you, Shawn!"
Mandy B.
Affair Recovery Coaching Client
“Before I started this program I was angry and broken. I spent my day completely focused on the fact that my husband of 28 years had been cheating on me for three years and I had been clueless.
​
Now I am no longer angry, I’m not broken, I feel like a human again. I spend my day focused on making myself happier. And when my husband comes home from work, I try to make his evening brighter as well.
​
My two biggest wins have been being able to stop jabbing and arguing with my husband about having an affair and actually being able to see a continuing future with this man. Another win has been just for myself to learn that I count too in this relationship.
​
And so now I say “yes” when in the past I would have said “no.”

Affair Recovery Coaching Client
“Before finding the Reimagine Love program, some days it was really hard for me to get out of bed. But no matter what I would always get up, put a smile on my face and do whatever it took to get through the day. Trying to figure out how to fix what is broken inside without knowing what that even was.
​
Working within the program for the past few months, I have been focusing on how the speedbumps life has presented to me over the course of my lifetime and how they have affected my relationships. I am learning to embrace the possibilities of loving myself and my life the way that I want it to be, to find my happiness. I know that I will never be able to truly love someone if I am not able to fall deeply in love with myself. I should not have to convince or prove to anyone that I am worthy of being loved, so I am starting to do the things that fill my spirit: deeper conversations with those I love, speaking kind to myself, reading and finding a group of women who are like minded.
​
I know at the end of the journey that I won't ever have all of the answers, but I will have better tools in my tool box to help me find my place of happiness and pure joy. I will be closer to being able to wake up every morning knowing that I am chosen and that I am more than good enough.”

“Words couldn’t even begin to describe the pain I felt to my core. How could someone who said they love me do that…to me and our family.
​
The images haunted my every thought and my dreams turned to nightmares. I was barely functioning and the energy I did have was all poured into our kids.
​
I filed for divorce and we were 6 months into the divorce process when we found this program. [...] We pushed all court dates out and began the program.
​
And because of this program, this week I emailed my attorney and we are submitting a 6 month reconciliation with the courts, letting the judge know we are working towards reconciliation and therefore removing all deadlines and court dates. This is HUGE!
Because of this program we are turning our marriage on its head and addressing the issues present to therefore create a deep and connected marriage we both desire.”
