About Us
BetterLove was born from a simple truth: From the moment we're born, our relationships shape our development. Yet most of us have never been taught the skills needed for meaningful, sustained connection. Founded by relationship specialists Sara Place and Melissa Ander, BetterLove combines attachment theory, neurobiology, and practical application to create an accessible framework for transforming how you connect with everyone in your life—from partners and family to colleagues and community.
Our team
Sara and Melissa bring decades of combined experience in relationship education and attachment theory. Their complementary expertise has led to the development of the five-session framework that illuminates the neuro-pathway to love—a simple, actionable sequence that transfers to all relationships in your life.
Melissa Ander translates complex attachment theory into practical relationship tools.
