Eden Haney Love and relationship coach in training

You're driven. You're capable. And you still feel alone.

It's common among high achievers. I help people reconnect with themselves, with the people around them, and with the world they live in.

Join the pilot How it works
Who I work with

Driven people who are hungry for connection.

Known for what you do, not who you are

People rely on you. Very few people actually know you.

In a relationship and still lonely

You share a life, but not much of yourself.

Friends drifted away

Each job change or move left fewer people who really know you.

Work fills every gap

Being busy is easier than being with people.

Easier to think than to feel

You can explain your feelings better than you can feel them.

Ready for more

You just want to feel more connected.

Why it happens

We used to get connection built in.

Quiet mornings gave us time with ourselves. The walk to the well or the market kept us close to the earth, and the village kept us close to each other. As life modernized, those things slowly fell away, and we never replaced them.

We're more connected than ever and less connected than ever. The loneliness epidemic and social media addiction are what that gap looks like.

With yourself

Time to hear what you feel and want.

With each other

People who know all of you.

With the earth

A body and a place you actually live in.

These are one disconnection at three levels, so I start with the inner work. As people reconnect with themselves, their lives change. They become more confident, more open and more connected.

The work

What we do together

We meet on Zoom for 55 minutes, weekly or every other week. In engineering and data science, my favorite problems are the ones where something is wrong and no one knows why. You strip everything back and look at what's actually there. I coach the same way. My approach is somatic, because the body shows what's really there. I designed this program for exactly this. I walk you through guided exercises and processes, and we explore together how you relate to yourself and to others.

I'll meet you where you are.

You set the pace.

What you say stays with me. Sessions are confidential.

You don't need to have it figured out. You do need to show up as you are.

How it works

Four simple steps.

  1. Apply

    Answer a few short questions.

  2. Free 30-minute call

    We make sure it's the right fit.

  3. Ten sessions

    One-on-one on Zoom, over about three months.

  4. Go deeper

    By the end, you'll feel the difference. If you want to keep going, we can.

About Eden Eden Haney outdoors in the Topanga hills at golden hour

Why this work

I have a kinship with a certain kind of driven person. I studied control, optimization and machine learning at UCLA, and worked at NASA Goddard and the Naval Research Lab. I loved the complex reasoning, and I still felt like I was missing a piece of myself.

Then I joined a fast-moving autonomous freight startup, surrounded by brilliant people from the best schools in the country. When deadlines got tight or a project fell through, I watched communication break down. Stress rose and the company fractured. These were some of the best people I've known. Being brilliant doesn't protect anyone from being human, and that's why I do this work.

The inner work

Inner work has been the center of my life for years: somatic work, meditation and a lot of study. I'm now training as a love and relationship coach with VITA.

I help people most who live in their heads and find their feelings hard to reach. I know how to make that feel safe.

  • M.S. Electrical and Computer Engineering (control theory), UCLA
  • Degrees in mathematics and electrical engineering
  • Research at NASA Goddard and the Naval Research Lab
  • Early engineer at an autonomous freight startup
  • Love and relationship coach training, VITA (2026)

I live in Topanga, California, and I write about tech work culture on LinkedIn.

We'll take a short, standard loneliness questionnaire at the start and the end, so you can see what changed.

Questions
Is this therapy?

No. Coaching focuses on where you are now and where you want to go. It isn't a replacement for therapy, and many people do both. If you're in crisis, please contact a mental health professional or call or text 988 in the US.

What if I miss a session?

Let me know at least 24 hours ahead and we'll reschedule.

How do the payments work?

Pay in full, or in five monthly payments for $250 more in total. Through November 30 that's $2,250 in full or five payments of $500. After that it's $2,500 in full or five payments of $550. I'll send a secure payment link.
