Shula Melamed - Relationship & Wellness Coach
For Shula Melamed any healthy relationship - new or old - starts with two people who share many things but still carry individual identities and who understand what they need and desire. When the relationship coach first answered an ad to assist New York’s top matchmaker in scouring the land for eligible bachelorettes, the luxurious experience scratched the service in transformative beauty and fashion changes and makeovers; eventually Shula was then propelled into a deeper commitment, helping people find and stay in love. She went off to school to study psychology and sexuality and is now the master of guiding individuals, couples and groups through the specific challenges and desires all humans encounter. Her goal is to convince the public that investing time and maintenance into creating a relationship and keeping it healthy is just as important as eating well and getting enough exercise. Shula believes there’s no shame in using any and all dating tools, and that booking time in your busy schedule for a date night with your partner isn’t cheesy. She helps people navigate through first date performance anxiety, emotional or physical ruts in current relationships, and anything related to pleasure and sexuality. Using an approach informed by psychological, sociological and anthropological theories, she invites people to rewrite their self-worth and build self-love through one-on-one coaching or through The Foundation, an online program she created to help women reflect on their values and commit to following through with actions that will ultimately result in a more pleasurable experience.
