Behind Building Better Relationships

Robyn

Robyn Donnelly is a Marriage & Relationship Educator with over 27 years of experience. Her passion for this work is grounded in both professional training and personal experience. Robyn and her husband Mark have been married for over 40 years, and it was the research-backed principles of the Gottman Method that helped them navigate challenging times and reconnect in meaningful ways.

Robyn has coordinated marriage and relationship programs within a large nonprofit organisation and is trained in Gottman Levels 1 and 2. She is also accredited in The 7 Principles for Making Marriage Work and Bringing Baby Home.

Based in Newcastle, Robyn now helps couples strengthen their emotional connection, improve communication, and build thriving, intentional relationships. She and Mark raised two sons and enjoy the rhythm of empty-nest life with their Bichon and a mix of long lunches and active mornings.
