Self-Love and Your Soulmate: How Loving Yourself Attracts Love

Most of us long for the same thing: a meaningful connection with someone who supports us through life's ups and downs and encourages us to become a better version of ourselves.

Love is a beautiful emotion, and it's also a powerful frequency, especially in its purest form, which is unconditional. When you become grounded in that truth, and you can be the source of unconditional love for yourself, something shifts on the outside. Relationships that are already aligned become sweeter, and your field of romantic possibilities opens up.

Because love is not a need. It's a birthright.

When you stop looking for love outside yourself

Once you tap into that birthright through self-love, and ground yourself in your worthiness for a love-filled, pleasurable experience of life, your reality begins to take shape around that inner truth. That is what happened for me. Self-love led me to my soulmate.

Where I started

After years of heartbreak, and of attracting abusive relationships that echoed stories from my childhood, I was exhausted. I had lost hope of finding a loving partner and felt sure I would stay single. I had stopped looking for love in another person, and I began looking for it within myself.

That was harder than it sounds. My inner critic was so loud that I could barely find scraps of love for myself. The kind of unconditional love that makes your heart feel full without needing anyone's approval, the kind that makes you want to date yourself and get to know yourself better, felt very far away.

The old paradigm of love

So I turned to Reiki, which had already carried me through many of life's challenges. It took several sessions to break out of the paradigm of love I'd learned my whole life: that you're only allowed to feel good about yourself when you're producing something or receiving validation.

Working with the same patterns in myself and in countless clients, I kept noticing how deeply we're taught that love is conditional and transactional. That's how we end up repeating guilt in love, sacrifice in love, over-giving, and accepting mistreatment as if it were love.

What changed

Once I released those deep energetic patterns through Reiki and guided inner work, and began to feel real unconditional love and respect for myself, my reality began to change. I decided I deserved a love that supports my life instead of draining it.

Then I met Alejandro. We connected online in June 2023, and within two months of long-distance texting we took a trip to Istanbul together, because we both knew this was a soul connection. In July 2026, we celebrated our union with our wedding.

Reiki and unconditional love helped us navigate our cultural differences and our families' discomfort, and cross the world to build a life of true love together.

My guidance for receiving aligned love

If you want to receive aligned love, start by coming into your power:

• Release your self-destructive patterns, the old stories about worth, sacrifice and guilt

• Set boundaries in your energetic field, with your future partner and with yourself

• Become the source of the love you want, so your inner frequency and your outer experience match

When your inner belief changes, your reality rearranges to reflect it.

This is exactly what I teach in Self Love to Soulmate, my self-paced course. It was created from the patterns I saw in myself and in clients, and it guides you to hold your true frequency of unconditional love so you become the source of the love you desire.

Frequently asked questions

Can self-love really help you attract a soulmate?
In my experience, yes. When you stop abandoning yourself and begin to feel worthy of love, your choices, boundaries and standards change, and so do the relationships you're open to.

Why do I keep attracting unavailable or unhealthy partners?
Often it's an energetic pattern learned early, such as believing love must be earned through giving, sacrificing or proving yourself. Becoming aware of it is the first step in releasing it.
