Bio
Starielle Hope is a relationship and intimacy coach who specializes in working with people who have found success in their careers, but struggle to find the same success in relationships.
She grew up in a constant state of loneliness that she thought was normal because it was all she had ever known. After feeling terribly isolated because connecting with others didn’t come naturally to her, she experienced a wakeup call in her early 20s when I learned that, not only was this not normal, but she could actually learn how to connect more deeply with others just as she could learn any other skill. So she set out to reverse engineer connection and intimacy for herself.
Along the way, she discovered that she has a unique talent for taking abstract emotional concepts and breaking them down into tangible, step-by-step processes that those who are more comfortable in their logical/rational minds (like Starielle) can understand and adopt.
Learning how to connect more deeply with others has improved her happiness and well-being more than anything else she’s ever done, and she absolutely loves sharing what she’s learned along the way.
Starielle has been doing this work for over a decade now and loves every minute of it. She currently shares the knowledge she’s gathered through one-on-one coaching and online courses and will be publishing her first book later this year.
