The Match Factor

Once you’ve had your initial in-person consultation and committed to embark on this year-long journey as our client, our process begins with a thorough Bio-Psycho-Social Assessment.  We get from you a photo and 15-second video of your choice and attach them to your Bio Data Profile which includes an overview of who you are looking for as your ideal match.

Please understand that our 1-year program is built to work with adults who are seriously investing in this program to help them find their monogamous long-term partner or life mate. Many may have tried other ways and found them unsuccessful and lacking all the components we’ve built into our program.  It is not a program built for everyone.  We screen for those who are invested with honourable intentions and the same goals as our program, and you will work with someone equally invested in supporting you every step.

We then begin Phase 1, a 3-month individualized program of Dating Preparedness.  This includes counselling therapy, reviewing past relationships, addressing past heartache, habits, hangups, triggers, communication skills, boundaries, trauma, abuse, etc.  And we move at your pace so it is safe and comfortable for you, even if each phases takes longer.  This can rebuild self-confidence, worth, address fears, some healing, and get you thoroughly ready for re-entering the dating world where matches have been screened for authenticity, preparedness, and readiness also.  Getting to know each individual personally, their commitment to monogamous relationship dating, readiness and intentions are imperatives for Phase 2.  Working with each person we protect our clients from catfishers, creepers and sneakers.  With Phase 1 complete, we proceed to the Phase 2, 4-6 months of Dating Concentration.  You can register in our database for referrals and matches, you can continue with friends/family recommendations, you may meet someone you want to pursue a relationship with.  However, as a client there are strict guidelines around monogamous dating practices in this program to protect our clients.   In Phase 2 you will receive bio data sheets on potential match/es with a photo and a personal endorsement of who they are from me.  You will choose to meet them or not.  There is no magic formula for finding “the one, and it could be the one you wouldn’t normally choose or isn’t “typically your type”.  The date is set, parties informed, and if the date is with a heterosexual couple, the guy plans the date,  And if gay or lesbian, one is chosen to plan the date.  Your responsibility is to suit up, show up, and enjoy a pleasant time. Following the date, we’ll ask for feedback from each of you. Your input is valuable in this process.  One of two paths come next: either setting up a second date or refining our search strategy to better align with your preferences. Furthermore, we’re here to offer valuable recommendations, whether it’s suggesting fantastic date spots, highlighting upcoming events, or recommending insightful books—all designed to enhance your dating experience and bring you closer to achieving your relationship goals.

 Note:  We will customize the program for you if it needs to be longer than one year, however our fees reflect the one-year program.  Sessions are the same cost no matter what phase you are in.  Please see the number of sessions in each phase under the heading of Services and fees.
