Denver singles face unique challenges in their quest for meaningful connections. The mile-high dating scene can feel as steep as the Rockies themselves — from navigating dating apps to building authentic relationships.
That’s where I come in. As a Certified Sexologist and advanced Somatica® trained relationship coach, I offer something fundamentally different from traditional dating advice at Born to Be Wild Lifestyle.
I’m Dovie Gena, and my body-centered approach to dating coaching goes beyond surface-level tips and tricks.
Through comprehensive emotional and physical support, I help you unlock your true potential for intimacy.
Unlike conventional dating coaches who focus solely on external strategies, my somatic method empowers you to tune into your body’s wisdom, helping you create genuine connections that resonate on a deeper level.
Whether you’re recently divorced, struggling with dating apps, or seeking more fulfilling relationships, my approach helps you transform your dating life from the inside out.
What Is a Dating Coach in Denver?
A dating coach is like a personal trainer — but for your love life. I help you find the right partner and become the best version of yourself. And that is what makes dating feel less like a struggle and more like an opportunity.
Here are some ways I transform your approach to relationships:
- Build self-confidence
- Sharpen your communication skills
- Reflect on past relationships and learn from mistakes
- Define what you truly want in a partner
- Recognize the difference between healthy and toxic relationships
- Listen to the incredible wisdom of your body, guiding you through the complex world of relationships. Navigate what signals you to move closer to someone or step back.
Why Choose Me as Your Dating Coach in Denver — A Background
My journey as a dating coach is grounded in extensive professional training and a deep understanding of human connection.
Not only that, I spent over half my life dating the wrong people before I stepped into my own self worth and leveled up my dating expectations. I have walked in your stilettos. I understand what you are going through. Real world lived experience is priceless and through it I also offer deep wisdom.
As a Certified Sexologist with the American Board of Sexology and an advanced graduate of the Somatica Institute, I bring a unique blend of clinical expertise and practical wisdom to my coaching practice.
My certification as a Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP) also ensures that I can effectively support clients dealing with past relationship experiences that may be impacting their current dating life.
What sets my approach apart is the integration of somatic awareness with dating strategy. Through years of working with diverse clients, I’ve discovered that successful dating isn’t just about what you say or do — it’s about how you feel in your body and how you connect with others on an energetic level.
My background in trauma-informed care, combined with specialized training in Polyvagal Theory and disorganized attachment, allows me to help clients navigate the subtle yet crucial aspects of dating that most dating experts overlook.
I’ve helped Denver residents transform their dating experiences by addressing both the practical and emotional elements of connection.
Whether you’re dealing with dating anxiety, post-divorce uncertainty, or simply seeking deeper, more meaningful relationships, my comprehensive approach provides the tools and support you need for lasting change.
Dating Challenges I Help You Overcome
Here’s what I can help you with:
Post-divorce Dating
Returning to dating after divorce presents unique hurdles in our social scene. Many of my clients navigate complex emotions while balancing co-parenting responsibilities, career demands, and their own healing journey. The dating landscape they knew before marriage has transformed dramatically in this digital age.
How I help: As a trauma-informed coach, I guide you through the emotional and physical aspects of post-divorce dating. We work together to process past relationship patterns, establish healthy boundaries, and rebuild dating confidence. My body-centered approach helps you recognize when you’re truly ready to date and how to honor your own timing. Next it’s about how to break the news to your children or past relationship if that is part of your journey.
Anxiety and Confidence Issues
Dating anxiety manifests differently for everyone — from pre-date jitters to full-blown panic about intimate connections. I’ve seen many singles struggle with performance anxiety and fear of vulnerability, preventing them from forming genuine connections.
How I help: Using my expertise in Polyvagal Theory, EMDR and somatic awareness, I help you understand and regulate your nervous system responses to dating situations. We develop practical tools for managing anxiety in the moment, so you can build authentic confidence through embodied practices rather than surface-level techniques.
Body Image and Intimacy Concerns
Denver has a fitness culture, so naturally, body image concerns can feel amplified. Many clients struggle with physical self-consciousness that impacts their dating confidence and ability to be present during intimate moments.
How I help: Through my certification as a Sexologist and somatic practitioner, I guide you to develop a healthier relationship with your body. We work on embodiment practices that foster self-acceptance and authentic expression. My approach helps you move from self-criticism to self-celebration, creating space for genuine intimate connections.
Dating While Managing Past Trauma
Unresolved relationship trauma creates invisible barriers to connection. Whether from past relationships or deeper emotional wounds, these experiences surface in dating scenarios, affecting everything from partner selection to intimacy development.
How I help: As a CCTP, I provide specialized support for dating with trauma history. Using a combination of somatic techniques and trauma-informed practices, we work to identify triggers, develop coping strategies, and create new, positive experiences in dating. My approach emphasizes safety, choice, and empowerment throughout the healing journey.
My Relationship and Dating Coaching Approach
When you choose me as your dating coach, here’s what you get:
The Power of Somatic Methodology
The foundation of my dating coaching lies in the Somatica® Method, which goes beyond traditional cognitive approaches.
We tune into your body’s wisdom to unlock deeper insights about your dating patterns and preferences for intimate connection.
This body-centered approach helps you recognize authentic attraction, set meaningful boundaries, and develop genuine confidence that radiates naturally in dating situations.
Mindfulness and Body Awareness in Dating
Understanding the subtle language of your body transforms your dating experience. Through our work together, you’ll learn to interpret physical sensations as valuable data — from the flutter of genuine attraction to the contraction of discomfort.
This heightened awareness helps you make decisions aligned with your true desires, rather than societal expectations or dating “rules.”
Vulnerability and Authentic Connection
Real connection begins with authenticity. I guide you in developing the courage to be vulnerable while maintaining healthy boundaries.
Using the three key attributes of Somatica® — vulnerability, mindfulness, and empathy — we create a foundation for genuine relationships that honor your full self-expression.
Inclusive Approach to Relationship Styles
Whether you’re seeking traditional monogamy, exploring consensual non-monogamy (CNM), or questioning your relationship style, my coaching provides a judgment-free space to explore.
As an LGBTQ+ positive coach, I support clients across the spectrum of relationship orientations and gender identities. This is an inclusive judgement free space to explore what you want for your life.
Integration of Mind, Body, and Dating Strategy
My approach combines practical dating strategies with deep emotional and physical awareness. We address both the tactical aspects of modern dating — like profile optimization and date planning — and the internal work that leads to lasting change.
This integration ensures you’re not just going through the motions but creating meaningful connections aligned with your authentic self.
