THE REST REVOLUTION
REST DEEPLY, THEN RISE UP.

REFUSE TO BE FAKE,
TO BE SOMEBODY YOU’RE NOT.

HELLO + WELCOME,
I’m Miriam, a writer and love coach, an Irish woman living in the US, a widowed mom to two teenage boys with feet that don’t stop growing and a lover of the sea.
I call Hilton Head Island on the East Coast home now, but part of my heart will always be in West Cork, Ireland (although I don’t miss swimming in the freezing water, the ocean’s much more inviting on Hilton Head!). READ MORE

What is Authentic Love Academy?
It’s the leading online school for spiritually-minded women who want to build relationships based on authenticity. It’s for wild and free women who reject falseness and crave deeper and more meaningful connections. It’s about exceptional self-care and self-love.
IF YOU REFUSE TO BE FAKE, if you want to learn how to bring all of yourself into your relationships, then my friend, you’ve come to the right place, a big welcome from my heart to yours!
What they’re saying

“I highly recommend Miriam to any woman seeking to begin their life anew. She has a very positive outlook, is hugely supportive in whatever you wish to accomplish, and wants to serve other women so they can feel the same freedom she now feels.”
Paula Strong, PhD, Charleston, USA.

“Miriam opened my eyes to the importance of setting strong boundaries in relationships and truly valuing myself. She has changed my view of dating and relationships entirely”.
Elaine Bhreathnach, Administrator, Cork, Ireland

“Thanks Miriam for being so supportive of me even though we’re thousands of miles apart. I truly love your work on authentic relationships. It really resonates with me!”
Tara Monaghan, Accountant, Perth, Australia
What makes you vulnerable makes you beautiful.
There’s a word for it…AUTHENTIC.
Tim Brown
There cannot be emotional intimacy without vulnerability and openness. Without emotional intimacy a relationship will falter and die.
