Frances Amaroux
BA Psych, Grad Dip Education, Dip. Clincal Hypnotherapy, Dip. Somatic PsychoTherapy, CoachU Graduate, NLP practitioner, RCI coach, ASSERT member, Australian Counselling Association Member (level 2)
Relationships and Sexuality Counsellor, Coach and Educator since 1991. My major areas of expertise are in relationships, sexuality and intimacy, emotional balancing, communication and learning, mediation, community building and social activism.
And my passion is Relationships – the relationships we have with ourselves, with others, with spirit and the planet. ....and so I conduct groups for singles and couples to attract and sustain succulent, soulful relationships.
I started Turning Point Communications in 1991 (which is now www.Lovecoaching.com)...and since then have worked with 1000s of individuals and groups as diverse as Accelerated Learning to IBM management; Women’s Self Esteem to single mums and corporate executives; NLP Communication Skills in numerous corporate, business and public arenas; Anger Management for male prison inmates; Conflict Resolution to teaching staff and Advanced Communication Skills to Business Advisors.
Between 1999 and 2002, I conducted a successful series of workshops and groups called “Unleash the Flirt Within! - how to become more playful, succulent, and irresistible. ... was interviewed on Body and Soul TV; People Dimensions on ABC TV and various radio shows including ABC Radio National, 2UE and 2GB etc. During 2008, I have been a regular contributor to relationship articles in Body and Soul section of the Telegraph and Cosmopolitan Magazine, Australia.
Also in 2003 I co-facilitated (with Allan Rudner) a series of forums called “She says /He says – Peace talks for the battle between the sexes”. The aim of the forums is to bring women and men together in a space of reconciliation to talk about their fears and misunderstandings and joys – and thereby come to forgiveness and greater aliveness together.
As well as having fun and experiencing all this mad world has to offer.... my mission is to awaken society to the idea that we are in a fascinating period of history where all the established ways of Relating (based on Patriarchy or Dominator systems) are breaking down...and new very different and very diverse forms of relating are emerging.
As many people are very confused with the changes happening all around them, my passion is to support women and men in learning how to connect consciously in diverse and creative ways.
Another specialty is in working closely with alternative sexuality communities.. and I am therefore kink, poly and tantra-friendly.
My most important project at the moment, is writing a book on the new Masculinity – called The Invisible Prision – a compassionate look at what is holding back men from being their full authentic compassionate selves.
I'm also also writing a book called “ Succulent Singles - how to have fun, conscious HugBuddy or BonkBuddy relationships.
So, I'm looking for people who have had these forms of relationships to contribute their stories for inclusion the book (names withheld, of course ;-)
My deep gratitude to many many teachers and authors - including the works of David Deida, David Schnarch, The Hendricks, Phyllis Davis, Barbara Marx Hubbard, Margo Anand, Ken Wilbur, Tristan Taomino, and especially to Stan Dale at the Human Awareness Institute.
