About Me

Hi, I'm Olivier, a relationship coach specializing in healthy masculinity.

I train men on 5 specific skills to build and maintain Love AND Respect in their intimate relationship.

I've combined 25 years of research with neuroscience to create a training system with an AI app.

My book lays out the framework: "Back to Love & Respect: 5 Intimacy Skills for Men: The Untaught Principles to Solving Relationship Crises—Without Therapy."

Method & App Demo:


The 5 Skills That Build Love AND Respect:

  1. Polarity: to keep the spark alive
  2. The Circle of Safety: to build and maintain Respect (Ownership, Integrity, Boundaries)
  3. Emotional Intimacy: to speak her language (the language of Love, the feminine principle)
  4. Playful Banter: to keep flirting long after the honeymoon phase
  5. Tantric Lovemaking: to truly satisfy her

The 3 biggest challenges most men face are:

1) They think their partner needs to change, become less critical, more appreciative, more affectionate.

But they're completely unaware of their own role in creating that distance. And because they don't know what they're missing, they can't fix it.

2) Men tend to resist going to couple's therapy because it feels like talking in circles about feelings and childhood wounds. They would rather figure it out themselves, without having to rehash the problems with their wife.

That's why skill building is a more effective alternative.

3) Men in leadership positions spend thousands of hours training on professional skills but have no clear and structured framework for navigating marriage challenges.
