Meet Our Director
Ruth L. Schwartz, Ph.D.
Dr. Ruth Schwartz, author of the Amazon-bestselling book Conscious Lesbian Dating & Love, is a pioneer in lesbian and queer relationship education.
After coming out in the 1980s, Ruth had to learn everything the hard way. There was no healthy dating or relationship roadmap for women who loved women... so, after decades of struggle, she created one.
Incorporating neuroscience, attachment theory, psychology and lesbian culture, Ruth designed the transformational path our community desperately needs, and hasn't had until now.

YOUR QUICK GUIDE TO
The Conscious Girlfriend Academy
Global Leader In Lesbian Dating and Relationship Education, Support and Community
You could think of us as a "Lesbian Love University" with the curriculum you've been needing all your life. Though many women say, "I wish I'd found you decades ago," it's never too late.
Our classes and deep-dive group coaching have helped thousands of women put their lives and hearts back together after shattering breakups, toxic relationships, frustrating or scary dating experiences, or just being single when you don't want to be.
Here, women loving women can learn or re-learn lesbian dating skills at any age, so you can date with clarity, confidence and success. Not sure you want to date? That's great. We also provide growth-oriented lesbian and queer community and a learning environment that members say "feels like home."
In the Conscious Girlfriend Academy, you can learn to solve painful lesbian relationship problems, stop fighting, or even get back together with your ex and create a happy, healthy new lesbian love story, using the unique, neuroscience-based, lesbian-tested relationship tools we offer.
Empowering Lesbians and Queer People to Build Conscious, Healthy Love
Let's be honest: lesbian relationships have a reputation for drama. It doesn't have to be that way. Two women are capable of having the best relationships on the planet -- but to get there you'll need to "fix your picker," learn how to date in a sane and sustainable way, heal toxic lesbian relationship patterns, improve your communication and listening skills, so you can create true lasting love.
Sound like a lot of work? Actually, once you learn the skills we teach, it'll be way less work than your relationships have likely already been. Many women come to us saying, "Why do relationships have to be so hard?" When you've got the skills, they get easy. But until you get those skills, the idea that just "finding the right person" will solve your lesbian relationship problems is a harmful fantasy.
How to Find & Create The Lesbian Relationship You Want & Deserve
You deserve better than fantasies, myths, and passionate relationships that start out amazing and end painfully within a few months or years.
You also deserve better than settling for quiet disappointment, living like roommates, bickering, feeling lonelier together than alone, and lesbian bed death.
You deserve a lesbian relationship that lights up your life and helps you be your best self, while supporting your partner to do the same. With the world the way it is right now, we need our intimate relationships to be places of support, refuge, nourishment and inspiration, not fights and drama. The Conscious Girlfriend Academy will help you get there.
Hurting from a breakup? Struggling in a relationship? Leery of dating? Feeling disconnected? Just coming out? The Conscious Girlfriend Academy is here to help.
