about

Hi, I’m lauren hayes.

One day my husband turned to me and said, “I think there is something more.” Neither one of us knew what he meant by this exactly, (I was particularly confused and upset) but through lots of conversations, online research, books and articles, we found it. We are so glad we did. We have been enjoying lifestyle and have considered ourselves “monogamish” for over four years. We had all of the same questions and concerns in the beginning that most people have. It seemed exciting, but also complicated and it was scary because there were so many unknowns. Mostly, we didn’t want to mess up what we already had, which we both felt was a great marriage.

I’m here to make the unknowns, known. To make the complicated, less so. To guide you through the options and to keep what’s most important in focus - the two of you.

You don’t see my picture here because we are raising children and have professional jobs such that we are not open about our lifestyle with all of our communities. We hope that some day we can be. In the mean time, you’ll find me and see me around the swinging and lifestyle circuit.

How it works

I work with couples (of all orientations) who are interested in lifestyle or consensual non-monogamy. I’m a trained co-active coach and have completed Gottman training, level 1 (relationship training).

I don’t work with couples that are in a troubled relationship that is at risk of ending. If your relationship is already troubled, I do not advise you to test the waters of consensual non-monogamy until you are on solid ground.
