Welcome
So glad you've landed here ...
Are you struggling to find Real LOVE?
Do you keep attracting disastrous partners who don't live up to their promises?
Or perhaps you're in pain because you're watching your relationship go down the drain, and you can't seem to figure out how to create the love you know you deserve.
Do you ever wish that someone would just explain in clear and simple language what the heck is going on and what you need to do to have the relationship of your dreams, but also how to make it last?
I feel your pain, I really do, I was right there asking myself these very same questions and miserable with my love life.
Determined that I would not be denied my fairy tale ending, I set out to understand what I was doing wrong and take a really good look at the research behind what fosters genuine connection, and real love that weathers the storms that life throws our way. I invested deeply in learning what it means to truly love myself and with the support of many gifted practitioners and teachers worked to understand the foundation of healthy partnerships.
I finally found and married my soul mate and I truly believe that you can too ... Based on decades of research in the fields of psychology, sociology, and anthropology, combined with real-life lived experience, our program offers a step-by-step solution to your relationship woes and the opportunity to finally bSmitten© with your life and love.
Our Process
At bSmitten It All Begins With YOU
You are the foundation of your relationship, and if that's even remotely shaky that glorious castle you set out to build will more than likely come tumbling down. It's imperative that you get all your ducks in a row if you want to share your life with someone. Once you have a clear idea as to who YOU are at your core, you'll be able to identify your perfect match and your best chance of success over the long term.
