Love doesn’t have to be hard
When it is, a pattern is likely driving the problem
You’ve been told a lot of things about love. That it’s a lot of work. That if it hurts, it means you care. That chemistry and immediate spark are signs of something real. And that if you just try harder, you’ll finally get it right.
No wonder you’re exhausted. Over it. Ready to throw in the towel, delete the apps, or settle for chaos and crumbs. How are you supposed to hear all of that, and still believe the kind of love you want is possible?
The beliefs and patterns that got you here aren’t your fault. But continuing to date with them in the lead? That’s a choice. One you don’t have to keep making.
And when you’re ready, I’ll help you unlearn it all, so you can do love differently.
As Seen On:
It’s hard to fix the problem
when you’re looking at it wrong
Most clients come in thinking the problem is them—too much, too anxious, too old.
If they could just “fix their picker,” stop self-sabotaging, or get better at boundaries, maybe love would finally work. But what’s really driving those patterns?
Usually the stuff no one ever taught them how to change—early conditioning, nervous system defaults, and old relationship templates.
If these sound like your brain after a failed date, horrible breakup, or difficult relationship, you’re in the right place:

WHY THIS WORKS
You’re Not Broken, You’re Conditioned
It’s time we changed that
Most people show up thinking they need better dating advice. A profile “update.” A script. Communication tools. Or something quick, easy, and sexy (hello, awful social media dating tips).
But if your core patterns are still running the show, none of that sticks.
In our work together, we slow down and get honest about what’s going on underneath—so you can shift it for good.
We figure out what’s actually keeping you stuck
Unpack the patterns you picked up to stay safe or feel loved
Shift those patterns, so they stop running the show
You start showing up differently in love—clearer, calmer, more confident
It’s not always easy. But it’s always worth it. Because real love starts with who you are—not just who you’re with.
Some tough love
About real love
01.
Your “type” isn’t just a preference, it’s a pattern. And it’s usually based on what’s familiar, not what’s right for you.
02.
The love you’re chasing might not be the love you need. Until you redefine what healthy love feels like, you’ll keep saying yes to what it isn’t.
03.
There’s nothing wrong with you, but this work takes work. Lasting love doesn’t come from trying harder, it comes from choosing differently.
About Nicole
I’ve lived it, studied it, and now I help people change it
Nothing you say will scare or shock me. I’ve been through it myself—and if I haven’t, one of my clients has. The devastatingly long single stretch. The “maybe they’re not out there” spirals. The years of doing the self-work, but still repeating the same patterns. I went on over 200 first dates, been let down more times than I can count, and spent way too long thinking love was just hard for people like me.
Eventually, I realised I couldn’t just “try harder,” I had to get to the root of what was keeping me stuck. That meant unlearning the beliefs and survival patterns I picked up throughout my childhood and retraining the nervous system responses that kept me stuck in familiar cycles. Because love doesn’t change until you do. A sexier profile photo or communication script is never enough (I wish it were that easy).
I studied what actually creates lasting change. I trained in trauma-informed coaching and Compassionate Inquiry. I built a practice that blends lived experience with science-backed psychology—and I help people stop choosing from survival mode and start building secure love from the inside out.
