About Eva
Eva Love
In 1985, after a devastating divorce, my second, I felt like a complete failure at relationships.
Back then, it seemed like I could pick the wrong guy in a crowd of the right guys.
Between my first and second marriage, I was engaged four times. After the fourth break-up, I realized that the one thing all of these guys had in common was ME!
I decided to quit men and just focus on my children and my work, though I liked men and I liked having their attention. But I felt like something was wrong with me and that any relationship I got into was doomed.
Deeply depressed, I felt I didn’t deserve
to live. These were the darkest days of my life.
For three years I did everything I knew to do to help heal my deep emotional wounds. I went to several therapists and healers; attended workshops and study groups; and read every self-help book recommended to me.
I spent thousands of dollars. Every hour that I wasn’t working I was searching for what would take away my pain, but instead I just felt worse.
I was miserable and made everyone around me miserable.
Profound Spiritual Experience
One night deep in despair, not knowing what else to do or where to turn, I cried out, “God help me.” Within minutes I felt peaceful. The weight of my anguish had been lifted. An unexplainable light filled my living room.
The next day the techniques that later helped me heal began to come to me. In that body of work:
- > I found the secret to regaining my happiness and a peace that I had never known before.
- > And the big bonus: I gained a gift for working with people to help them heal their emotional wounds.
Within three weeks my life and my outlook changed so radically that my friends wanted to know what I was doing.
My roommate asked me to teach her and a few friends one weekend in Sept 1989. Students from that class asked me to teach their family and friends. It snowballed.
I became so busy teaching workshops and working privately with clients that nine months later I quit my high-level executive position. I was working for a billion dollar national auto-parts chain that had 880 stores in 28 states.
All my friends thought I was crazy for leaving my big, beautiful, top-floor corner office. I had two departments reporting to me, a $5.5M budget and over 50 employees. I had broken the glass ceiling! I was the only woman on the executive team. Besides I was the ‘Go To’ person that the President depended on.
As exciting as the job was, it was so unsatisfying compared to helping people out of their misery and finding genuine happiness and fulfillment. I never looked back. This is the work that I have done for the last 20 years.
After four years of teaching about how to create a magnificent life, I had it all: Beautiful home, Snazzy sports car, Loads of wonderful friends, Lots of dates with fun guys, Great income, Exciting world travel, and an Effervescent joy that bubbled up from within me.
I Was Ready
Now I wanted what I had never had - a partner that I was passionately in love with - to be in a relationship where we were both deeply committed to each other. I had learned to appreciate, value and love who I am and what it meant to be committed to myself.
My Mother always told me “The greatest thing in the world is to love and be loved.” With everything that I had, the most important thing was missing.
I became a student of love, of fabulous marriages, and of healthy relationships. I had helped a number of my clients attract the right mates for them. I was ready to have someone great in my life!
In 1993 I met my husband, Will Noyes. I was smitten! And then I got scared. (This was an old pattern!)
But instead of running, I stayed and we learned to work though our disagreements, challenges and problems. We committed to do whatever it took to keep our love for each other front and center in our life. And that is where it has stayed…and it hasn’t always been easy, but it has always been worth it.
We learned a lot about each other. Began to know much more about ourselves. And gained enormous insight into how relationships really work (and don’t work!).
As friends and family observed our relationship, they constantly asked us to please share our secrets. They would say, “You give us hope.”
One day Will said he wanted us to teach others what we knew about how to make relationships work. He shares the same passion that I have for helping people create happy, loving, fulfilling relationships. He said, “We know how to do that.” And we do.
We Began Teaching
In 2001 we created a workshop which has since helped hundreds of couples:
- Move beyond their arguments and power struggles to find a renewed feeling of love and connection between them.
- Create a mind-set that turns “I” into “We,” releasing the tensions and feelings of being alone in their relationship.
- Have an easy joy that comes from a deep understanding, appreciation, and empathy with each other.
We’ve also helped hundreds of singles attract the right mate for them sealing the deal with marriage. We get invited to so many weddings and baby showers that we can’t attend them all.
