Relational Path Institute GCC

Welcome to RPI GCC!

Relational Path Institute is proud to offer its signature HEART Certificate training for therapists and coaches, Love Awakening Workshops (LAW) for couples and singles, and 8-Week Mindfulness Courses and Retreats (MBExist) for general population in the diverse Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region, which integrates the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, Bahrain and Saudi Arabia.  

The development of the Humanistic-Existential Approach to Relationship Therapy (HEART) was vastly influenced by the clinical practice experience of our founder and director, Dr. Monica Mansilla, mainly in Qatar. Qatar’s multicultural population inspired her to develop a cross-cultural approach to relationships, which is not limited to the western culture approach to romantic love and individualism.

Our institute has been offering HEART Certificate trainings, Love Awakening Workshops and MBExist Courses since 2016 in Qatar, where the first promotion of HEART Therapists and Coaches has completed their training already. 

Upcoming activities in the region include:

Join us into empowering GCC's community towards mindful and empowered relationships!

Anahi Brown, Qatar Regional Coordinator

anahi@relationalpath.com / www.anahibrown.com

Anahi Brown is an Empowerment Consultant who, after dealing with depression, obsessive dieting and disordered eating, Hashimoto’s, expat life, a multicultural family and motherhood, believes we all deserve pleasure, purpose and joy in our journeys through relationships, single life, parenthood and beyond. Part of her practice involves working with couples to realize their unconscious patterns, consciously change them and, through this process, mindfully re-write their love story, rediscover the bliss in couple-hood and experience their Happily Ever After, with an approach anchored in RPI’s Mindfulness and Existential-Humanistic Theory. 

Anahi’s style is powered by empathy, authenticity and compassion through holding space for her clients’ wounds and smiles, passing down her unique viewpoints and giving them tools for their journeys, thus enabling them to discover themselves so they can start believing in their worth, value and feel lovable again, from there grow and expand their boundaries. Her work combines nutrition and nourishment, emotional empowerment, mindful living, intentional action and inspiring relationship work to obtain a full, rich and vibrant experience in life regardless of personal labels, geographic locations and stages in life, because in the end everyone deserves to live purposeful, joyful and empowered lives.
