History
I started in this field by working with Relationship Expert, Alison Armstrong. My first task was to start studying men by listening to them share their perspectives on relationships, women & sex. I've interviewed thousands of men. I was single from 35-45. I went on 121 first dates to find my parter, Dave. I learned a LOT (sometimes not in a good way, it often sucked). My book, 121 First Dates has 28 date stories & a sister-girlfriend tone to help you get through this shit. It offers tools & very few rules. I lead public workshops for women, coach one on one, and I have an amazing 8-week dating teleclass called Dating By Design where I give you everything you need to date successfully all from the comfort of your telephone. This work has given me a solid foundation to help people create strong, happy, workable partnerships. I focus on what works for your life & what you need. Because I'm here in San Francisco (poly HQ), I also enjoy working with open & polyamorous relationships.
