Healing in Intimate Relationships
Justin & Maria Dwyer
We are Justin Dwyer and Maria van der Geest, relationship coaches and founders of Present Way Coaching Pty Ltd. Our mission is to help individuals and couples heal their relationships, rediscover intimacy, and build emotional safety and connection.
Our own relationship journey wasn’t always easy. From the outside, it looked like we had it all – houses, cars, boat, successful careers, a busy social life, and a beautiful family. But unresolved fears, insecurities, and past conditioning caught up with us, leading to a painful separation. In that difficult season, we realised we lacked the tools to truly understand ourselves and each other.
Determined to create a new kind of love, we studied mind-body sciences, spirituality, and transformational therapies. This process taught us to shift from reacting out of fear and self-protection to loving from authenticity and trust. Today, our marriage is thriving, and we feel deeply connected and safe to share our true selves.
At Present Way Coaching Pty Ltd, we are passionate about helping others navigate their own journey of healing. Through our coaching, workshops, and resources, we empower individuals to break free from fear-based patterns, regulate their nervous systems, and transform their relationships. Clients leave our sessions with the skills to communicate openly, build trust, and create the fulfilling connection they desire.
We know what it’s like to be at the brink of divorce—and we know that healing is possible. Whether you’re struggling with communication, parenting challenges, or unresolved trauma, we’re here to support you in creating a relationship built on love, safety, and authenticity.
When we’re not coaching, you’ll find us enjoying the simplicity of life, spending time in nature, and connecting with others who believe in the power of love.
