Summary: How “Instimacy” was birthed for helping nomads, frequent travelers, or simply people without a whole lot of time, connect!

Happy Love Month of Feb! Phew it’s been a really busy Jan hosting a holistic empowerment bootcamp in-person right on the beach!!

I’m hosting another speed dating & friending event (as I have before in Thailand “Intros for Introverts”), but this time the name “Instimacy” resonated for me – for people who want to connect but may struggle to or take time to warm up, but don’t have a whole lot of it, due to being nomadic, heavy travelers, or for other reasons, even as simple as age.

Many are conscious about not wasting time getting to know someone by wading through the swamp of small talk to get to the real heart of vulnerability, masks finally off.

And for nomads & travelers, there is the hard stop of, well I’m LEAVING in X # of days / weeks / months. And yet, you hear of stories of couples who met even for a couple hours of overlap while traveling, and then got married!

IS there a formula for this? I think so! I learned about Authentic Relating exercises, the 36 Questions to Fall in Love, and other tools to spark and build connection through my Relationship Coaching Certification with the Center for Thriving Relationships.

And while I’m still single at the time of writing this, the quality of my dates have only gotten increasingly better, and I no longer believe that prevents me from being able to help others find love.

Research-backed, evidence-based tools exist, and they’ve worked for millions of people!! They might not for everyone, including myself since I’m neurospicy, but they’re a great starting point that I believe everybody should learn and have under their belt!

So for Love Month, I’m sharing them freely, just come to our free Instimacy mixer at Happiness Hostel (Boracay, Phillippines) or email me at DrTooni@Mail.com – if there’s enough interest, I’ll host an online class about these tools. We were a big hit last year with 100+ signups for our Untigering Your Romantic Relationships event!!

You can also join our Conscious Dating Global Matchmaking Directory if you are serious about finding your person and/or your tribe and are tired of doing it alone!!

I’m also opening up a few gift Relationship coaching sessions +/- couples Art Therapy in exchange for market research surveys ( Just email DrTooni@Mail.com ) or comment on this post!

(Oh and a post to come soon about Lunar New Year! I’ll be doing my Asian Parents standup comedy skit !)

I hope that regardless of your relationship status, who is around you, or what friends you have, that you are able to connect with your inner Love within.

You are always whole, you are blossoming in your own timing, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with you. But if you would like a gentle hand, there is plenty of support all around you.


-Love, Dr. Toni MD, Your A(u)nti(e)-Tiger Mom
