Tanya returned the hug and the kisses on the cheeks, then added a warm smile at Isabella and then Phil.<strong>"Thank you, that would be lovely,"</strong>she said and nodded in approval as her sleeping arrangement and bags seemed to be well taken care of. Isabella's polite offers and chat were responded to in a light manner, ending up with the couple placed curiously on separate couches and not even the same ends. She took a seat on the couch across from Isabella and smiled reassuringly as both people made comments about swimming. Obviously they had at least that in common. Her mind immediately went to planning how she could use that in their advantage, while she took in all the little signs of their relationship. No glance, hint, blush or bit of body language went unnoticed and she could tell a few things from just these few minutes in their company.<strong>"Yes, I like being in water,"</strong>she replied to them and grinned a little at Phil.<strong>"I can imagine your wife looks stunning in a swim suit."</strong><br/><br/>Phil's rather clear discomfort and question were met with a small nod towards the couch his wife was sitting on.<strong>"Let's start with having both of you facing me, shall we?"</strong>Her tone was calm and composed, not at all suggestive or judging. She didn't mind if they sat in each corner of the room as long as she had them both in front of her. She waited patiently while he moved, regarding his posture and Isabella's reaction. These first moments were so important. How they were in front of a stranger revealed a whole other side than what she'd see once they started to grow accustomed to having her around.<br/><br/><strong>"What I do,"</strong>she said to answer Phil's question,<strong>"is observe, analyze and intervene where it's needed. It all depends on your comfort level and what problems, if any, we come across during this time."</strong>She smiled at them and braided her fingers around her knee as she crossed her legs.<strong>"Some couples only need to have me stand outside their bedroom door to find their own way out of whatever predicament they felt they were facing."</strong>She didn't add that some couples needed her to join them in bed repeatedly, together and separately, to choreograph the steps they needed to take to heal that aspect of their lives. That wasn't something a couple usually wanted to hear right off the bat, and wouldn't be addressed unless if that was what they truly needed.<br/><strong><br/>"I'd like to start by asking why you feel you need my help,"</strong>she said calmly and looked from one to the other.<strong>"If you feel uncomfortable discussing that in this setting, I can chat with you separately. It's up to you."</strong>
