More about Louis

Not many people can say they’re living their childhood dream. Fortunately, one little boy from Newark, New Jersey can.  Since he was a teenager, Louis has been a source of relationship advice for his neighborhood friends. After pursuing his certification as a life coach in 2018, Louis turned his passion for helping people with intimate heart matters into his career.

Louis’s mission is to help couples who want to work through their relationship issues and deepen their connection, communication, and intimacy. He also assists singles who have been through a divorce, break-up, have lost their companion, or are struggling with past relationship issues.

As a relationship coach, Louis brings a keen, nonjudgmental ear, calling on his perspective as a man and that of a son raised with four sisters and a very wise and spiritual mom. He supports his clients by helping them address their relationship issues from the inside out.
