Just like the Facebook status, dating is complicated. While traveling the world like a veritable Julie on the Love Boat, Kira realized that dating is, in fact, complicated no matter where you're from, what you do for a living, or if you have a really nice cruise ship to live on. Kira believes that dating isn't just about dinner and a movie on Saturday nights, love can (and should) be a more comprehensive way of life and can happen anywhere at anytime. Learning from experts in different fields around the world she implements everything from feng shui to face reading into her dating makeovers, working with her clients specific needs and interests to help them create a more positive dating experience because the happier they are, the happier their relationships. Through dating makeovers, clients will receive activities and challenges to help them become their best selves. She has been known to take her clients out to watch body language, assess their living spaces to make sure it is dating friendly or work with a local chef to make sure they know how to cook a fantastic date dinner. It's all about being the person you want to date. Working with Kira you may: * Go on a faux date to look at how you are putting yourself out there. * Learn yoga-based calming techniques to use before your date * Learn the basics of putting together the perfect date outfit * Learn how to talk to strangers in the good way and so much more.

The Reason I Became A Helping Professional

Until a few years ago, I pretty much didn't see the point. I have always loved being single, dating, flirting and really wasn't concerned about settling down since I had been traveling on and off for quite a few years. I knew love existed-we got to third base quite a few times-but as I looked at many of my friends in relationships, it looked like a hot mess. It was crazy.

I had all of these beautiful, smart, funny, amazing friends who were successful in every other area of their life except this. They were teachers, nurses, lawyers, social workers, business owners from all different places and walks of life. Yet, they all had one thing in common. When it came to relationships, all of that confidence and smarts got kicked to the curb. Whether they jumped in without even noticing that there were some BIG red flags, put themselves in the "friend zone" or got SO nervous about guys that they liked that they put up the wall bigger than the one in China.

It all lead back to the same things. Lack of confidence and clarity of what they brought to the relationship and who was a good match for them. I was so sick of seeing my friends and other women give their power away in a relationship. Lose themselves. Dismiss their needs, passions, hobbies and even friends for the new and exciting guy that will possibly be the one. (By the way, just like prince charming, *the one* doesn't exist.) Whether it was 3 months or four years they were devastated when it didn’t work out and their confidence was in the toilet. All for a relationship that was never going anywhere from day 1.

Then I saw it. A relationship that was based on not only love but respect, appreciation and was on their own terms. It happened while I was away traveling after college. My best childhood friend met a friend-of-a-friend at a swing dance class. Neither of them had a partner so they partnered up. My friend has always done things a little differently and this was no exception. They slowly started dating. Not hooking up, but really dating. He was finishing his degree and she had her first job so there wasn't much money. They took walks, saw cheap movies and went to a lot of free events. They were both so busy with their own lives that only saw each other once a week. But the next part is where it really became something special.

She didn't become a girlfriend until she actually was a girlfriend and they knew it was the next step they wanted to take together. They didn't let themselves fall into roles or cliches of what relationships were supposed to be. Their lives and personalities remained completely in tact except for they just started to create parts of it together. They created their own path for what worked for them. Was their a connection, yes. Chemistry, of course. But more importantly, a beautiful working relationship where two people remained whole.

Everybody has a skills set. The stuff that they were born with and is so easy for them they barely notice it. Mine is that I see people and situations more clearly than most. I get people. After witnessing what a happy relationship could look like, I knew I had the ability to help women create their own style of a relationship that worked for them. One where they remained their authentic selves.>

I then went through a lengthy professional coaching certification process (yes, they do exist) and hung up my shingle. Since then I have been empowering women from San Diego to Singapore to find love, first in themselves and then in a healthy relationship. Together, we can make that happen for you. Let's do it!
