Meet Amber Lavin
Dating & Relationship Coach
The Story Behind True Connection
Ten years ago, I ended a seven-year relationship without a clue how to move forward. I kept attracting emotionally unavailable people and found myself stuck in a painful cycle. I desperately wanted to find a deep, secure, authentic love—but I didn’t know how.
I realized I couldn’t keep banging my head against the same wall and expecting different results. So I created my own path: one rooted in mindfulness, somatic awareness, and intentional dating.
A year later, I met my wonderful, self-aware, securely attached husband. Together, we now run a counseling and coaching business, supporting others through their own healing and relational transformation.
What I've Learned
After working with countless clients and witnessing so many beautiful, smart, self-aware women stuck in the same patterns, I've come to understand something essential:
-
Most of us didn't grow up with great role models for healthy love, connection, or dating.
-
Our nervous systems learned to normalize inconsistency, emotional distance, or self-abandonment.
-
We crave intimacy but don't always know how to recognize it—or feel safe in it when it arrives
This isn't your fault.
And it can change
My Approach
True Connection is about more than finding "the one."
It's about reconnecting with yourself first—your body, your boundaries, your emotional truth.
In our work together, I won't hand you scripts or teach you how to be more "irresistible."
I'll help you:
-
Understand and heal your attachment patterns
-
Rewire your nervous system for safety and self-trust
-
Show up authentically, without chasing or shrinking
-
Attract someone who is emotionally available and self-aware
This isn't the Hollywood version of love.
It's something deeper, more grounded, and more magical than you imagined:
A relationship that's real, stable, and soulfully aligned.
