Breakups, grief, and finding peace in chaos

Christina S.

I’ve been through a lot when it comes to love, loss, and the complicated relationships that shape us. From watching my parents’ divorce reshape my childhood to losing a boyfriend in college to addiction, I’ve had to learn how to heal without shutting down. That journey led me to therapy, which helped me redefine boundaries and understand what healthy love looks like. I've also had to take an honest look at other relationships in my life—especially with my dad—and decide what I needed to step away from in order to grow. I've cut back on drinking, built a life I love in NYC, and found joy again through friendships, movement, and self-reflection. If you’re navigating heartbreak, rethinking your past, or simply feeling lost, I’d love to hold space for you. Whether it’s a bad breakup, family issues, or you're just tired of pretending everything's okay—I’ve been there, and I promise you’re not alone.

Navigating relationships and dating in your 50s

Dean M.

I’m an executive coach with over 15 years of experience, originally from South Africa, and I’ve lived in New York and London, giving me a broad cultural perspective on relationships. As a queer person, I’ve experienced the complexities of various relationship dynamics, from long-term monogamous partnerships to navigating the challenges of modern dating. My own journey includes an 11-year monogamous partnership in the UK, which, when it ended, felt like a divorce. Now, as someone in their early 50s, I have a unique understanding of how relationships evolve and change over time. I’ve worked with clients facing everything from heartache to infidelity, helping them understand their emotions and find practical, actionable solutions. I’ve also helped others navigate transitions—like encouraging a friend to write a letter to their younger self as a healing exercise. With the rise of dating apps, I’ve experienced firsthand what it’s like to navigate the modern dating world and all the complexities that come with it. Whether you’re struggling with a breakup, exploring your identity in relationships, or simply trying to navigate dating today, I can offer a safe space to talk it through without judgment.

Building confidence and connection after moving to a new city

When I moved to a new city, I thought it would be exciting—but pretty quickly, the isolation set in. I didn’t know anyone, and I found myself unsure of how to meet people outside of work. I struggled with feeling disconnected and sometimes questioned if I’d made the right decision. It took effort, intention, and vulnerability to put myself out there. I leaned into networking—both professionally and socially—and slowly began building genuine connections. Along the way, I learned how to boost my confidence, show up authentically, and trust the process of forming new relationships. Now, as a certified life coach, I help others do the same. Whether you're facing a big transition or just craving stronger relationships, I’m here to help you build the connections you need to thrive.
