Monarch for Love

Welcome to Monarch for Love. I'm Michelle Hays and I'm a relationship coach who believes that love is the most important aspect of our lives. I believe love is life's greatest gift. I have spent decades researching and studying how relationships that are once fun, passionate, and happy can become heartbreaking, unfulfilling, and hurtful. I was an unhappy wife. Twice! I know that choosing love is always the path to true happiness, a fuller life, and a passionate partnership.

Love is a decision! It's a decision we must make every day. Love is meant to be cultivated yet it is too often dismissed and ultimately destroyed because we lack the skills and knowledge to nourish it. We are here to change all that. Join me as we learn how to create loving, lasting relationships and open ourselves, our pasts, our hearts, and our dreams, and discover what it is we are all truly looking for…love.
