Who built this.
Twenty years of studying human behavior — how people show up, how they connect, what makes them compatible, what drives them apart.
Then divorce. Then re-entering a dating world that looked nothing like the one that existed before. And seeing — from both the professional expertise and the personal experience — that the problem isn't the people. The problem is that nobody is teaching people how to do this well.
The Valence Method comes from both: the science of human behavior and the reality of navigating modern dating without a framework that works.
The foundation.
