Having A Hard Time With Dating & Love?
You're Not Alone -- And Help Is Here
So many women-loving-women and adjacent non-binary people struggle in our dating and love lives. Thanks to homophobia, lack of role models, and scarcity of lesbian/queer love education, you might face some of these challenges, too:
- Difficulty even knowing how to start dating
- A history of painful and/or toxic relationships
- Struggling with how to love and trust again after a breakup
- Giving your heart too fast, then hitting incompatibilities and triggers
- Lack of supportive, growth-oriented lesbian and queer community
The Conscious Girlfriend Academy's programs blend cutting-edge neuroscience, attachment theory and relationship research and decades of lesbian and queer lived experience, helping you build the love life you want while making great friends along the way!

Meet Some Of Our Members
Loving & Being Loved With Ease
"We met each other online after Pierce took the Academy's class on online dating (which she had always thought she would never do.)
We dated slowly and consciously, using the tools from the classes. Laura signed up for a class, too. Even though there was chemistry, we didn't rush in. Sometimes we'd both watch a class, then schedule a date afterward to talk about it.
Now we've created a relationship in which we share our lives between Mexico, where Pierce lives in a spiritual community, and California, where Laura lives and makes art. Traveling back and forth keeps our love alive and fresh. We get to love each other without sacrificing or compromising ourselves. We are truly living out the Academy promise of 'loving and being loved with ease.'"
More Insight Than In A Decade Of Counseling
"Within two months at the Conscious Girlfriend Academy, I've gained more insight into myself and my relationships than I did in a decade of counseling, even with wonderful therapists.
The practical tools, exercises, and invitations to slow down and regulate my nervous system have been transformative. Connecting with others on the same path, from diverse ages and backgrounds, is also deeply supportive. In a world so shaped by heteronormative narratives, it's rare to find these spaces.
For me, Conscious Girlfriend Academy is more than a learning space. It's about healing, connection, and growth. And fun!"

Can I take classes a la carte instead of becoming a member?
Many of our live intensive classes are offered a la carte, so you're welcome to start there. But, taking an a la carte class doesn't give you access to our on-demand video library, our live weekly Skill-Building lab, or our group coaching. For that reason, we highly recommend joining as a member.
What if I don't have time to do the classwork?
You'll always get the replays, and can do the coursework on your own time. It's easier to stay motivated because you can come to live skill-building classes weekly and work with your course buddies in between. Our live classes are also moving, impactful and fun. Most of us have an easier time making time for things that are fun!
Are women who are just coming out welcome in the Academy?
Absolutely! At least 25% of our members are women who have come out later in life, or are in the coming-out or questioning process. We welcome all women and adjacent non-binary people who love women or want to, whether you identify as lesbian, gay, bi, queer, pansexual, or with no label at all. Some of our members join while still married to men. You'll find complete acceptance here.
How about women who are trans, bisexual, queer -- or non-binary people?
Absolutely! We warmly welcome all self-identified women or adjacent non-binary people who love women, or want to. We have many participants who identify as bi, queer, pansexual, fluid, or genderqueer, non-binary or trans. You are welcome just as you are, and will receive plenty of acceptance and support here.
What is the membership age range? Where do members come from?
We've had members from their early 20s on into their mid-80s. Members tend to be over 40, with many over 50, over 60, or over 70, but we also have "old souls" ready to do the work in their 20s and 30s. It's a fantastic intergenerational community.
We are based in the U.S. and have members from all over the country, as well as a good handful from Canada. Most of our classes also contain a few Europeans, New Zealanders, Australians, Mexicans and people from various other countries around the world.
Do you offer scholarships?
We are passionate about making our work accessible across the financial spectrum, so please don't let money prevent you from signing up. You can >check out our Scholarship Guidelines here.
