Expert human feedback when you need it most.
Real human empathy with no sycophancy:
your coach will reveal insights that neither your
dates nor your LLMs would ever surface to you.
Meet Emma, the human in your loop
A date that goes nowhere never tells you why. You are left to debug from silence- and you might walk away with the wrong lessons.
Dating advice tries to be one-size-fits-all. I start from scratch, meet you exactly where you are, and together, we can reach places the traditional advice would never have conceived of.
What if you didn't have to ruin your chances with a romantic interest by practicing on them? It's kinda messed up actually that we don't create space to explicitly practice dating skills.
Confidence comes from building evidence that you DO have the skills.
I create a space where you can make mistakes, recover without consequences, and notice yourself improve!

One 60-minute session to uncover core blockers for you. You'll walk away with a clearer picture of what's holding you back, plus homework: one field assignment to try in the wild and one written assignment.

30 minutes, in person. I show you a basic partner-dance frame and step, we dance for a few minutes. Then I deliver honest, specific, and actionable feedback on what your body communicates: tension, timing, confidence, attention. No dance experience needed.
A 90-minute practice date in a public venue that you plan, followed by a 45-minute debrief and a written report on what worked and what did not.
A rehearsal with honest feedback, like a mock interview.
Over twelve weeks we identify gaps, build skills, adopt new habits, practice, get feedback, iterate, and build lasting confidence
Hourly rate for bespoke session of your choosing. Also the way to get my feedback on your Discovery homework.
Credited toward 12-week program if you enroll within two weeks.
Support once you have launched into a real relationship. Four sessions a month plus messaging, for the first six months when everything is new.
Couples sessions are available when you both opt in.
I hold an MS Statistics from Stanford and can write a formal proof of an optimal dating strategy, if that's your thing. I know what it is like to think in systems and logic while everyone around you seems to run on instinct.
I have experienced the incredible transformative power of relationship. I am now a wife and a mother and I enjoy a level of fulfillment in those roles that I never thought was possible for someone like me. My mission is to help others access deeper relationships and deeper levels of fulfillment-- and to make SF fertile again!
I have been the friend people bring their dating lives to for years. I introduced a close friend to her partner and coached her through the early months. They are on track toward marriage and babies after moving in together this summer. I will always be their biggest cheerleader.
I am bisexual: part analytical gym-bro, part empathic femme. I truly understand both sides of the table and love helping the sides meet each other more fully.
I have been partner dancing for 18 years and would be happy to teach you. Dance can be a natural way to assess and build chemistry in the early stages; in later stages it is a tool to co-regulate as you co-create something beautiful and human.
Let me help you build something beautiful.
It is a rehearsal, not a date. We meet somewhere public, it is booked and paid in advance, and the point is the debrief afterward.
Information is rarely the problem. You need practice with a real person who will tell you the truth afterward. That is the human in the loop.
No. I work with people looking for a life partner and people who want to enjoy dating more. Getting good at the second often leads to the first.
No. I am a coach, not a therapist. If something comes up that needs clinical support, I will say so and help you find the right person. I have a network of trusted therapists, personal trainers, stylists, dermatologists and dance instructors to whom I can refer you.
Nobody honestly can. What I offer is a refund on your first session if we are not a fit.
In person in San Francisco, or by video. Practice dates and Somatic Evaluations are in person. Between sessions we work by text and email.
Two kinds. A field assignment is a small real-world exercise, matched to your level, that you try and report back on. A written assignment is a short reflection that helps you see your own patterns. In the 12-Week Transformation you get one of each every week.
It is not a dance lesson. It is a few minutes of simple movement to a beat, and learning to tune in to your partner physically while maintaining your own frame. You don't have to know anything about dance. The movement practice is followed by honest feedback on what your body communicates. It is always optional, and it is feedback most people never get.
60 minutes, $200, credited toward 12-Week Program if you continue.
