Who's behind this

Hi, I'm Shaun.

I’m in my forties and still figuring out what life and love are all about. I’ve made peace with that being the point.

I’m a love coach based in San Francisco, helping people navigate relationships through vulnerability, authenticity, and playfulness. Those three are the foundation of everything I teach and try to embody, even when it’s messy. Especially when it’s messy.

Communication and honesty are the foundation of my work. I believe nearly everything can be improved with an honest sit-down. If you’re tired of playing games, want to speak up for what you want in life, and ready to inject a bit more play into your love life, you’re in the right place.
