Amy Waterman, M.A.
Love Educator · Relationship Coach · Pleasure Revolutionary
Founder of Your Brilliance
We women do it all.
We make our relationships work. We keep our homes running smoothly. We make our clients and customers happy. We worry about everyone’s problems.
And in exchange all we want is to get a little love back.
To feel appreciated. To feel cared about. To feel like we matter to at least one person.
But these days… that doesn’t always happen. ☹️
That’s where I come in.
I help you create a life where you don’t come in second.
What I Do
For twenty years, I have helped tens of thousands of women wake up to a new way of living, one that isn’t focused on navigating men’s preferences but rather discovering what turns them on… and inviting men to come play in that space.
I am the author of over a dozen books and programs on love and relationships, including:
The Pleasure Principle
Unleash Your Pleasure Power
Effortlessly Likable
Save My Marriage Today
Connect and Commit
…and many more.
My work has been featured on platforms such as The Good Men Project, Scary Mommy and Upworthy. I’ve been a guest on podcasts and relationship summits. I’ve partnered with leading women’s relationship advice website BeIrresistible.com.
Every week, I share my latest research, breakthroughs, and tips with thousands of women at Your Brilliance.
What Makes Me Different
There are a lot of love coaches out there…
But not many who’ve been studying love intensely for 20 years. 😉
If you’re looking for “how to make men chase you” advice, you won’t find it here. I’m about healthy love or nothing.
I make sure women are SAFE in their search for love. Too much dating advice throws women to the wolves. I’m not going to teach you to appeal to the worst kind of men. I’m here to teach you how to appeal to the good ones.
To get a little geeky 👓 I see love as more than a personal experience. I see it as a historical, sociological, and psychological phenomenon.
It’s not just about attraction and commitment. It’s also about how we absorb relationship styles from our parents, gender roles from our culture, and expectations from the media. It’s about attachment, trauma, and power.
Love today is not what love was 25 years ago. So my work is constantly changing and evolving, too. I want women to understand how dating and relationships are different now… and how to find their footing in this unstable new world.
Fun Facts about Me
– I’m such a Sagittarius 🏹
– My body is ¼ tea (imported British Tetley’s) ☕
– Gardening, running, and being outdoors makes me happy🌲
– I consume information like a starving person (I read on average 150 books a year!) 📖
– My professional inspirations include the Gottman Institute, therapists Sue Johnson and Terry Real, marriage and family historian Stephanie Coontz, researchers Eli Finkel and Bella DePaulo, and demographic research from the Pew Research Center.
– My name, Amy, comes from the Old French Aimée, which means “beloved” or “well-loved.” It traces back to the Latin verb amare, meaning “to love.” (I like to think that means I was destined to do the work I do.) 💗
