The Match Factor

Meet Megan

Hello, I’m Megan Kennedy, the founder of Madrona Wellness Centre and founder of my new subsidiary company, The Match Factor.  I bring years of relationship work into this clinical counselling and matchmaking consolidation. 

I’ve been a Master Practitioner of Clinical Counselling and Clinical Supervisor for those in private practice for more than 28 years.  I work with individuals and couples, with years of experience facilitating groups.  I’ve been passionately committed to each of my clients for almost 3 decades.  Becoming a “Clinical Counselling Match Maker” has been a natural evolution to integrate into my practice.

The genesis for TMF to integrate with MWC came from my clients.  They expressed intimate partner struggles (past or present) with marginal “targeted and transformational support” at all intimate relationship stages from starting to date, through the dating phase and into a safe, secure and committed long-term loving partnership.

Today’s dating world is complicated and moves at lightning speed.  For decades people have been “rushing headfirst” into relationships before the evidence of trust, monogamy, healthy communication, friendship, transparency, vulnerability, honesty, integrity, safety and security are proven.  Reasons for ending intimate partner relationship are always multi-faceted.  Past relationships can leave scars from  abandonment, invalidation, inequality, rejection, cheating, addiction, or abuse.

Sadly, words are wooing while actions revealing.  The words, “I love you” may be real, superficial, or love bombing.  Red flags get ignored, while communication more restrictive.  Attention must be given to unearth the “keepers from the sneakers” (aka creepers) in the dating phase before you commit your heart.  Relationship histories run the spectrum from disappointment to painful and disturbing experiences.  Individuals wholeheartedly explored dating apps, dated friends or colleagues, had blind dates, hookups, or long-distance relationships. The results?  Heartbreak, confusion, and often the comments, “How did I get here?”, “How do I move forward?”, and “Who Am I?” Experience revealed the heart invested deeply in intimate relationships, but many were left in confusion, rejection, abandonment, betrayal, abuse, trauma, or tragedy.

Repair work is key to help move forward.  Trust has to be rebuilt so you can safely begin trusting again.  Fears become barriers to moving forward.

Our services involve your rigorous commitment to a well-constructed array of services to help target the obstacles and ultimately achieve your heart’s desire of loving and being loved.  Moving forward post heartbreak, trauma or complicated breakup, takes individualized and specialized therapy and relationship work.

My role is to personally equip you with the confidence, the skills and resources, while providing  ongoing support to help you be the person ready for love and to love again.  The goal of this program is to be that  person who reaches out to that match who reciprocally desires to work hard with you to build an intimate partnership that can flourish “in a long-term committed love relationship”.   Empowering individuals from all walks of life, helping them reclaim their unique individuality, and defining what they truly seek in a partner is ultimately my goal and my professional experience for over 28 years.  My support covers a year or more so when obstacles come, you have a resource.
