Anti-Diet Dating Coaching

Appplications are open! (scroll to bottom)

Imagine a dating life where you’re having fun, not feeling stressed, and only getting to know people who are physically attractive, interesting, and kind—all while having the tools to create the most pleasurable sex of your life.

What I do: As an anti-diet dating coach, I help people create the sex and dating lives they deserve. The dating mantra I teach clients is “high standards, no expectations.” During the 9 weeks of us working together, I'll arm you with all the tools you need to become a dating expert yourself and tackle all the body image shit that’s been getting in the way of having the experiences you want.

Common reasons people come to me for coaching:
  • Believe apps are a waste of time
  • Have trouble finding people who are worth their time
  • Don’t believe who they want is even out there
  • Frightened of their body being judged by others
  • Fear of being rejected 
  • Equate their sense of self worth with the approval/acceptance of others
  • Unsure of how to date without expectations
  • Dating apps feel too overwhelming and don’t know where to start
  • Dating makes them anxious
  • Haven't dated in a long time (or have never dated before)  
  • Had negative experiences with dating in the past
 
What I do with my coaching clients:
  • LOTS of hands-on support
    • We'll co-write killer dating app bios and choose profile pictures together
    • 1-on-1 swiping support (I quite literally look over your shoulder while you swipe, helping you determine who to swipe left and right for, and ask helpful questions along the way)
    • I teach you how to initiate meaningful conversation on apps (no more "I don't know what to say!" on my watch!), as well as convert app conversations into interactions off the apps 
    • I help you sharpen your communication skills so you feel more comfortable advocating for what you want/don't want (including co-creating scripts for important conversations re: safer sex practices, personal boundaries, and how to "let someone down gently" after a date where there's no chemistry--aka all the conversations most people opt out of having in favor of ghosting)
    • I provide answers to all your "embarrassing" sex & body questions (I believe there are no "dumb" or embarrassing questions)
  • Powerful mindset work
    • Dismantling scarcity mindset and goal-oriented dating (enjoying the process of dating instead of hyperfocusing on finding a partner)
    • Overcoming dating anxiety 
    • Finding the motivation to date
    • Body image/developing self-love (Acceptance isn't good enough! You deserve better than acceptance)
    • Healing your self-image after experiencing abuse from an ex-partner

My background: I’ve been a Playboy sex columnist since 2016, and from 2017 to 2019, I drove and dated across the entire country by myself. I know what it’s like to date in New York (where I’m from), Boston, Asheville, Denver, Austin, Miami, Chicago, Missoula, Los Angeles (my favorite!), Portland, and Seattle. (If I've never dated in your city--don't worry! In addition to clients spread throughout the States, I've worked with international clients in the UK and Canada.)

I'm also 13 years recovered from an eating disorder. If your relationship with your body is getting in the way of your sex & dating life--I've been there. To check out my coaching philosophy (and how my ED recovery and traveling lifestyle influenced it), here's everything you need to know about my point of view and what I believe in.

My coaching style is pretty much what you'd expect if you follow my social media: conversational, fun (when it comes to dating), no bullshit but deeply empathetic (when it comes to your relationship with your body).

I look forward to meeting you! Consider this a swipe right. ;)
