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.
So Many Thoughts. So many feelings.
Let’s make sense of them—together.
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

A lot happened while you were gone.

“Miriam helped me gather my thoughts when everything was one big mush. She guided me and helped me make decisions that I don’t second guess, without ever telling me what to do.”
~Malka T.
“When I kept making the same mistakes with girl after girl, I knew it was time for coaching. Your encouragement pushed me to change my attitude towards dating.”
~Y. Klein
Hi, I'm Miriam
So, how did I end up here?
My journey into the world of shidduchim began with phone calls such as, “Can I just run this by you real quick?” or “Is it normal if he…” —I was always the one people turned to for guidance in matters of the heart. One thing led to another, and suddenly I was a shadchan.
The more I spoke to both first and second time daters, the more I realized that daters 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 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 as well.
Whether you’re dating for the first time or re-entering the dating world after divorce or loss, I understand that each stage brings its unique dynamics and challenges that require specialized sensitivity and support.
My motto? You know what you need to do. You just need the confidence to get there.
With intuition, well-placed questions, patience and a splash of understanding humor, I guide my clients to discover their goals and trust their best judgement. 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!
Dating doesn’t have to be confusing.
When your brain clears and clarity reigns, I know I’ve done my job.

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.
