 For Men  

"The heart just wants to tell the truth. Telling the truth is what makes it strong. " 
​- Dominique Sire
PRINCIPLES OF DEEP DATING 

​Mindfulness. Compassion. Transformation. Courage. Authenticity. Integrity.​



"Do you think a tree wants to be something other than a tree? Do you think a yellow flower wishes to be red?
Do you think   a mountain wishes to be flat?  Well, it's the same for your heart. It doesn't wish to do
anything it was not meant to do - feel happy when it's happy, sad when it's sad, and angry when it's angry....The heart just
wants to tell the truth. Telling the truth is what makes it strong." 

​- Dominique Sire

Are you tired of trying to figure out what women actually want online or in dating in general? Are you over trying to navigate the endless apps and websites and scheduling hassles that come with modern dating? Does it feel confusing to decipher when to "lead" or when to "follow" or impossible to turn a series of dates into a relationship? Would it feel like a relief to have a relationship progress easily, without drama and confusing miscommunications and with clarity?  Are you sick of feeling conflicted about whether or not to take things to the next level or unclear about what the person you're dating is actually feeling? Do you wish you had more options than just withdrawing when things feel unclear and difficult? 

Or, do you feel you have the "chase" aspect down, but it's hard for you to stay engaged and interested in a meaningful relationship? Do you feel like some similar pattern keeps repeating itself and you find yourself feeling isolated, lonely, and disconnected yet again? 

As a man, you probably receive mixed messages from the world around you about what's expected of you as a person and as a man.  This can be incredibly confusing and can become a roadblock to ease, clarity, and fulfillment in your love life.  The truth is that all those rigid "rules" that exist about dating that pick-up artists teach don't lead to good relationships. There is no one-size-fits-all formula to feeling good, being attractive, or having a compelling relationship. 

Instead, the key to a good relationship is being true to yourself and to your deepest intention. I help men reconnect with their heart and the truth held there, and develop an action plan from this deeper place.  By teaching effective tools to respond appropriately to situations and to communicate the feelings uncovered in the heart and having a plan to get you meeting the right kind of women, you can begin to feel yourself in relationship in authentic, direct, and empowering ways, possibly for the first time in your adult dating life. 

I can help you develop clarity and insight about what you authentically value and want in your life and will work with you to develop a plan to create these conditions.  I can collaborate with you to help you learn necessary skills to understand what women are saying and to transform your relationship to the qualities of strength and vulnerability in a way that makes you feel in control, empowered, and true to yourself.
