A Matchmaking Service Designed Just for You

You might be wondering, "Why would I trust this random woman to find a date for my child?"

I am a mom and stepmom to 8 wonderful adult children — 4 of whom have intellectual disabilities. My children, just like you, want to find a special someone to share their lives with. But as their parent and guardian, I know that online dating and apps are not a safe choice for them.

Inspired by Netflix's Love on the Spectrum and Down for Love (and throw a little Aunty Sima from Indian Matchmaking in there too), I started this matchmaking service because I believe the best way to meet someone special is to be matched by a real human who cares deeply about people just like you.

I personally meet with each person and their guardian to learn more about what they are looking for in a relationship, and most importantly to make sure they are who they say they are.

In my spare time, I am a personal and professional development coach and marketing consultant. I'm also on a mission to make the system work better for our precious loved ones with intellectual disabilities.
