Hi! I’m Janet.

I’m a dating and relationship coach who specializes in helping smart, professional woman achieve success in their dating, social and personal lives.

I’ve been you.

A great life. A wonderful career. Family…the whole kit and kaboodle.

And I’ve also been…Divorced. With a revolving door of wrong men. Lonely. Wondering, why not me?

After my last relationship in 2008, I made a decision. A commitment to chose me when and if I started dating again. But I did. I started dating again. And this time, I got it right.

How, you ask? Honestly, it took a lot of personal work. I had a lot to cleaning up to do from my past and a lot of new skills to learn. What I now know is life is all about those skills. If something is not going well in your life, there is always something that can be learned to change the situation.—especially in the painful ones such as divorce.

Today, I am in a happy and loving relationship. I have dedicated my 17 years of coaching to help women like you, get past the roadblocks that is keeping you from finding the relationship you desire. My desire is to help you get out of your own way, let go of past hurts and have confidence in knowing that you are making good choices for you when you date and choose a long-term relationship.

When you do your own work, you will not only pick the right partner for you, you’ll also be the right partner.

Testimonials
Before working with Janet I lacked confidence in even attempting to date because of thriving from breast cancer. I was not happy with my single life. I like how Janet challenged me to do the work and complete the exercises. I am now confident and happy with my single life. This took me more than a year to complete. I was focused on my business and other family responsibilities. I am glad Janet had the patience to work with me to accomplish my goals. I am now getting excited about looking for romance. I understand what will work for me in a relationship with a man. I understand choosing me so that I can continue with my happy life. Janet is a role model who successfully found the love of her life. I am inspired by her work to find the love of my life now because it is truly possible. Laura Vidal
I am inspired by her work
Before working with Janet I was frustrated and disillusioned with the dating scene. I had been meeting people mainly through online dating and most of the men I met were nowhere near the quality of the man I was hoping to meet and connect with. Within a few weeks of starting to work with Janet, I was feeling empowered and optimistic about myself, my life, and my future. Within another few weeks, I regained the sense of awesomeness about myself that years of online dating had worn away. Through working with Janet on a weekly basis I re-acquired a clear sense of my self-worth. After three months of working with Janet, I felt a quiet, calm confidence that my special guy was on his way to me. After completing the course with Janet I took a few weeks’ “breather” from active dating because that’s what my heart told me to do. I am now in a new relationship with a wonderful man. I am hopeful that he is my special guy. The future looks bright for us. I highly recommend working with Janet. She has a warm and loving approach, coupled with a no bullshit, common sense sensibility. You won’t be sorry you invested in yourself!

I re-acquired a clear sense of my self-worth
I first talked with Janet when she offered a free hour of consultation. I had collected the best stories about dating from meeting men on Match.com. They were great fodder for my stand-up routines at the Second City open mic, but there was never anyone I wanted a second date with. I then met someone I thought I could love, and he turned out to be my second textbook narcissist. Enter Janet Tingwald. With that first consultation, Janet “got me” to where I thought I was talking to a psychologist and a psychic. Her intuition plus experience allowed her to cut through and know more about me than any counselor, coach, or therapist had ever known. I knew she would be the ticket to the kind of dating I wanted and deserved. In the sessions that followed, she helped me tear down the many walls I had unknowingly created as a result of my childhood. She repeatedly said, “I’m not a therapist,” and no she isn’t. She is better and faster than any therapist I have ever used. Every conversation turned into “Aha” moments, and stringing those light bulbs together has made a world of difference for me in the quality of the men I am seeing. Not only have I eliminated dating narcissists, but I have also eliminated emotionally abusive “friends”. If you are serious about getting to the heart of why you have tolerated the intolerable in dating, if you want to date the type of men you truly deserve, you have to call Janet. She won’t like this line, but for me, it has been like speed therapy, a therapy like I have never known. If you really want healthy relationships, Janet will get you there.
