Dating Forward is a coaching program that views dating as a social stage for learning, healing, and growing both within ourselves and through others. It honors every experience of the past; what matters most is the commitment to move “forward.” Because dating is about mindful connections, the “self” and “others” coexist in harmony – a blend of Western individualism with Filipino relationship values like “kapwa” (shared self). Even when dating preferences diverge from tradition, it upholds “pakikitungo” (mutual respect) to navigate differences gracefully. The goal is simple yet ambitious: build a strong foundation for love that extends beyond the self for happier families and communities.

My coaching blends psychological insight and intuitive guidance. I help you see both the patterns (the literal) and the energy behind them (the spiritual), so you can date with confidence and self-love.

Therapy helps you heal from past wounds and deal with mental health concerns. Coaching, on the other hand, focuses on your present choices and future direction towards a very specific goal. In this case, the goal is for you to make positive and healthy changes in your dating and relationship life. Coaching can complement therapy. But, IMPORTANTLY, if you’re going through deep emotional pain or mental health issues specially accompanied with physical symptoms, it’s best to prioritize seeing a licensed therapist or doctor.
