What is Matchmaking?
Modern matchmaking is for motivated daters who want to date with more purpose, privacy (hello small town living!) + customization around who they are dating while gaining more understanding of themselves as daters.
Matchmaking is essentially hiring Yana to do your dating homework for you. With your 6-month matchmaking subscription you get:
- One-on-one sessions (virtual or in-person in Brattleboro, VT) to help you get clear about your dating goals, partnership desires, relationship values, and to hone your dating skills.
- 1-4 custom matches with available, local people who fit your dating wishlist, style, and goals sourced from both the matchmaking database and out in the real world.
- Matches who are pre-screen by Yana during virtual or in-person meetings for a well-rounded understanding of whether or not that person may be the right fit for you.
- Matchmaking based on your unique deal-makers and deal-breakers and also Yana’s years of professional work in understanding people’s Big 5 Personality Traits, attachment styles, and relationship patterns.
- Pre- and post-date support, feedback, and debriefing sessions.
Who is Matchmaking for?
In keeping with the rest of Yana’s work, her particular brand of matchmaking is inclusive of all people looking for a custom dating experience. This includes people across the spectrum of queer-straight, kinky-vanilla, all genders, and all relationship styles including monogamous and non-monogamous clients (partnered or otherwise).
Modern matchmaking is for people who are sick of swiping, tired of “wasting time” on dating, and would rather outsource the legwork of the first-date screening to a professional who knows what you’re looking for.
Unlike dating apps, matchmaking focuses on in-person vibes and quality over quantity, de-prioritizing photos and relying more on someone’s real impression of a person rather than what they write about themselves in a tiny text box.
How does it work?
- Fill out an application to become a Matchmaking Client.
- Have an introductory call if your application materials seem like a good fit for a 6-month Matchmaking Subscription + to gain clarity about your matchmaking goals.
- Pay for your subscription ($125/month due upfront) + sign consent paperwork.
- Kick back and wait for a potential match notification from Yana.
- Once at least one potential match is made, schedule a one-on-one session (virtual or in-person) with Yana to discuss your potential match/es and deep-dive into your dating goals, deal-makers, and deal-breakers.
- At this appointment, receive info about your matches including a photo and detailed written-up profile of your potential match.
- If you think you might be a match based on what you see on paper, Yana will schedule a screening meeting with that person to learn more and will report back her impressions to you.
- If you then accept this person as a potential match, go on your first date, scheduling assistance provided.
- Schedule your post-date feedback call.
- Keep dating with your original match or decide to re-match (schedule another one-on-one session) until your 6-month contract expires. Sign up for another 6-month contract if desired.
