Tired of the swiping?

Here’s your chance to connect more authentically with women both like-minded and different, from the comfort of your home.

You’ll have six live online encounters throughout the night. Each will be carefully guided, inviting you to be yourself, to communicate openly, and simply relax, allowing you to really kick the nerves out of dating.

Authentic Dating has already been a big hit across New Zealand. Now, for the first time ever, it's coming across the ditch! Here’s what others have said:

"This has been the most positive experience I've had in meeting genuine souls with the intention of finding love/romance for over 6 years"

"Laurie led us through a series of games and exercises that allowed us to open up and create very real bonds with others and with our own selves. Many emotions were felt in the safest, most welcoming environment"

"Authentic Dating re-opened an old window for me in a new way. I really enjoyed the authentic ways of relating and the guidance. Heaps of fun too! And I did meet a very special person. We just got back from a weekend of Easter rock climbing. Highly recommend for anyone curious and keen to connect with depth & joy"

Authentic Dating welcomes all women aged 18+ who identify as lesbian, bi, queer or trans, as well as people who identify somewhere on a gender-fluid female-to-non-binary spectrum.

While we aim to achieve an even balance of ages, this is not always possible. However, what is guaranteed are skills that you can apply to any relationship. Simply come with an open mind and ready to connect :)
