Start in with MMA: The Marriage Mentoring Approach
Step 1: Book your free introductory session.
The first Marriage Mentoring Approach (MMA) session is free by appointment. Shawn resides in Salt Lake City, Utah and sessions can be in-person or via remote access. Time and space are limited.
Step 2: Decide if its right.
After the first ninety-minute introductory session, the Couple can decide if they think continuing with Shawn and His MMA is beneficial to them or not (Shawn will also do the same). If either party do not believe continuing is beneficial, they will part ways in love.
Step 3: Sign on & get to work.
In the case both parties see value in continuing a mentorship, the Couple will be given access to our online registration process where an engagement letter will be signed, and marital profiles will be created based on questionnaires entered by both partners in the couple.
At that point an $800.00 deposit will be made for four consecutive ninety-minute sessions (one per week on either a Friday morning, Saturdays or Sunday afternoons). At the end of each month Shawn and the Couple will discuss their progress and jointly decide if there is a need to continue the MMA, which for Shawn is typically deduced if the Couple is still unable to reconcile but hoping to in the future. The cost per hour for the total time spent with Shawn works out to $106.00 per hour. After the first month the average cost per hour goes up to $133.00. Financial breaks are available for qualifying Couples.
