“The best speaker we’ve ever had!”

“The best speaker we’ve ever had! Esther was captivating. Her mind-stretching material, unique presentation style and interaction with the audience, created a conference that people will be talking about for years to come.”

–Irina Baranov, CPCC, Director of Communications, Council for Relationships

“…a delightful break from much of the clichéd work out there.”

Too often relationship work is poorly anchored in research and just tired regurgitation of old and ill founded ideas. Keep up the great, and refreshingly innovative, work. It makes a delightful break from much of the clichéd work out there.

–Daryl Sturgess, Co-developer MENDS, Brisbane, Australia.

“…a breath of fresh air.”

“Yes, yes, a thousand times yes! Esther Perel’s views on, “Erotic Intelligence” is just the sort of message that needs to be spread not only through the couples therapists community but also throughout America. Perel’s very real approach on sex and sexuality is like a breath of fresh air.”

–Jasmine St. John, Madison, WI

“Creative, brilliant, and original thinker…”

“Rare in the field these days can one find a creative, brilliant, and original thinker with such an exuberant, generous and warm personality. Both clients and clinicians all over the world have everything to gain by listening to Esther Perel’s unique, intuitive and insightful perspective on modern love–all with a French accent to boot.”

–Kim Allouche, LCSW, New York, New York

“…one of, if not the most innovative thinkers in the field.”

“Esther Perel’s approach to her work can be likened to an archaeological dig. Her tool box is vast, fine tuned and her approach to problem solving is creative, open, non-judgmental, focused and meaningful. The fervor, intensity and integrity in which she approaches her work is astounding. Her thinking is laser like expansive, and out of the box. I consider her to be one of, if not the most innovative thinkers in the field.”

–Patty Stegman, MSW, Marriage and Family Therapist, NYU School of Medicine – Dept. of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry

“…a unique and special experience.”

“This was the first workshop of its kind for me and I found it wonderfully liberating. It has helped me take ownership of my deepest erotic desires. Our group contained a delightful mixture of singles, couples, homosexuals and heterosexuals sharing diverse thoughts and perspectives. Esther created a compassionate atmosphere, free of judgment and full of understanding. It was a unique and special experience.”

–Robert Levine, Toronto, Canada

“Esther Perel’s workshop reminded me what I had forgotten…”

“I always worked diligently to create safety in my relationships. Esther Perel’s workshop reminded me what I had forgotten, that in the context of that safety, I am a person who desperately needs excitement, thrill and exuberant fun in order to thrive.”

–Art Frenz, Ph.D. Clinical Psychologist
