With dismal divorce statistics and people just cohabiting with one foot out the door, many singles feel alone, not knowing why they haven’t met the right partner, while many couples perpetually struggle in the most important area of life: love.

Through Susan’s humor, compassion, and intuition you'll learn to have a more conscious, successful relationship. Discover how to improve your skills in the areas of communication, conflict, intimacy, finances, and overcoming unexpected challenges, while understanding the relationship stages everyone experiences with steps to navigate them consciously. Most importantly, learn to uncover your own personal issues, patterns, stories and beliefs that prevent you from experiencing your own self-love as you discover how to live your own great love story.

Once upon a time, Susan Ortolano was a little girl dreaming about love, weddings, white picket fences, and the handsome guy on the white horse. After years of bad relationships, a failed marriage, and devastating heartbreak, she discovered the real reason she hadn’t found true love. After much personal growth work, she finally met and is happily married to the love of her life. Her personal experiences, and a devastating illness inspired her to transition from a multiple award-winning high school teacher to a Credentialed Intuitive Relationship Coach and Educator. Susan has a B.A. from UCLA, and an M.A. in Spiritual Psychology, among other credentials and certifications.

Susan skillfully combines finely tuned clairvoyant skills with her coach training and education background to teach singles and couples how to master the art of successful relationships through private coaching and virtual classes. She also trains other coaches for two international coaching schools, and recently became a published author.

Personally, Susan admits to being an obsessed Twilight Saga fan, a sucker for a good story through her love for books, TV, and movies, and a total Facebook junkie. She loves humor, witty banter, and has a passion for helping others. She also loves to study spirituality, astrology, intuition, and is a proud Auntie and Godmother. Susan resides in Southern California with her husband Rick and truly believes that everyone deserves their own happily ever after.
