Dating and doubting
yourself?
New to shidduch dating,
dating for a while,
or dating after divorce
and feeling lost?
Dating can feel full of possibility and completely impossible at the same time.
Sound familiar?
First Time Dater
I’m excited…and confused.
Dating feels like a full time job – with no paycheck.
Everyone says I am picky. I say I have standards.
I keep saying no… and keep wanting to say yes.
Can someone please tell me what to do?!
Dating the Second Time Around
Okay. I’m doing this. Dating again. Help!
What will my kids say? Or my mother?
Is this a red flag or a blast from the past?
What if I’m wrong again?
Some days I’m ready. Some days I can’t get off the couch.
I can’t do this.
Dating can be a lot.
Overloaded brain. Overwhelmed you.
But…wait.
Why can’t I figure this out myself?
Who needs a dating coach, anyway?
Only any single who ever felt confused about dating.
Or who doubts they have what it takes to get to the finish line.
Or wonders how they’ll know the difference between a great match and a great mistake.
Or feels crushed under a mountain of pressure and conflicting thoughts

Hi, I'm Miriam
So, how did I end up here?
Some careers begin with a plan. Becoming a dating coach wasn’t exactly mine. Mostly, one thing led to another, and here I am.
I started out as a shadchan, setting people up and thinking that was pretty much the job: come up with a good idea, make the introduction, and hopefully something wonderful would come of it. It didn’t take long to realize there was a whole lot happening between the introduction and the chuppah.
The more I spoke with first- and second-time daters, the more I realized they needed way more than just another introduction. They were drowning in bad first dates, second-guessing themselves into oblivion, and making dating way harder than it needs to be. I thought to myself there’s got to be a better way.
Since I was already coaching people left and right (totally unofficially!) I decided to get serious about it. Because when you love what you do, you want to be amazing at it. I took many courses and earned multiple certifications in dating and life coaching. I’m also a trained and certified kallah teacher, so I fully understand the intimacy aspect of relationships.
Whether you’re dating for the first time or re-entering the dating world after divorce or loss, I know each stage brings unique dynamics and challenges that require specialized sensitivity and support.
I believe everyone has the answers they’re looking for within themselves. Sometimes they’re just buried under a whole lot of overthinking, doubt, fear, and everyone else’s two cents. I’m not here to tell you what to do. I’m here to help you find your own answers. I’ve successfully coached hundreds of clients, taking them from I don’t know what to think anymore to I trust myself. I got this!
You know what you need to do. You just need the confidence to get there.
Dating doesn’t have to be confusing.
I know I’ve done my job when clarity reigns.

Everything You Wished Coaching Could Be.
The coaching experience is built around you.
Your story, your pace, your goals.
Here’s what you can count on.
No two clients get the same experience because no two clients are the same person. Forget the formula. Forget preset plans. We start with you, your personality, your situation, your story, and figure out the rest together.
Your mother thinks one thing. Your best friend thinks another. Your shadchan has her own ideas. And somewhere in the middle of all of it, you’ve lost track of what you actually think. That’s where I come in. No agenda, no stake in the outcome, no opinion to push. I give you a space to think out loud until you can actually hear yourself.
In a world where everyone knows everyone, having one truly private space matters. What you share here stays here — full stop. It’s just you, me, and a conversation that goes nowhere else. This is the place to say the things you haven’t been able to say out loud yet.
Questions don’t always wait for your next appointment and neither do I. You’ll have access to support between sessions when you need reassurance or a quick check-in.
Coaching shouldn’t be one more thing to squeeze into an already packed schedule. I work around your life – daytime, evenings, Sundays – so finding time to meet doesn’t become its own source of stress. Whatever your schedule looks like, we’ll make it work.
Most people stumble through dating, hoping they’ll figure it out as they go. But what if there was actually a way to prepare for one of life’s biggest decisions?
In my shidduch dating book Finding Forever: From First Date to Soulmate, I teach you what you actually need to know (finally)—Discover the real you (not the dating version), build deep connections, and recognize your person when you find them.
