Meet Helen

When people hear I’m a matchmaker, the first question is always: “How did you get into that?”

It all started with a background in child education and development, a career pivot to the construction industry, and a side hustle to satisfy my curiosity and help me earn a little extra cash while having fun. Who knew that it would get me here today, planning dates for couples and watching the sparks fly?

The Foundation

I have been matching couples successfully since my college years.

Even then, my work with children and families gave me insight into personality types, compatibility, and partnership. Many of the roadblocks in modern dating trace directly back to the same root issues I spent decades helping families detangle.

New Paths

By 2019, my husband and I had been married for nine years, six of which had been spent on a grueling fertility journey. I decided to embark on a career pivot, to give myself a break from the world of growing families.

Long an avid amateur horticulturist and edible garden designer, I leaned into that passion and went back to school to study Landscape Design.

The World of the Marrieds

I began working in the landscape field in 2020, driving across the region to visit clients at their homes. It quickly dawned on me that clients seeking luxury design+installation services were overwhelmingly married couples.

I also noticed that these homeowners radiated confidence and contentment, even joy.

This was during the early years of the pandemic… a time when so many were stressed, sad, and scared.

A man wearing a brown jacket, light jeans, black shoes, a face mask, and gloves crossing a city street at night, carrying a takeout food container.

But these couples were invigorated. You could hear the smile in their voices, even from behind their masks.

You could see the light in their eyes as they shared about the work they’d been having done in the interior of the home, their recent move or significant family developments… referring to projects that they’d accomplished with teamwork, communication, and patience.

Young couples tackling fixer-uppers. Older couples wanting space for their grandchildren to play.

Different ethnicities, cultures, ages, and budgets… each pair a united team.

In the face of all the stress and fear of the times, these couples found joy in the adventure of building their lives and homes as a team.

They shared worries and laughter, projects and tasks. Hand-in-hand, they crushed goals, strengthening each other instead of hustling alone.

Working with these couples was a constant reminder that marriage is a partnership; one that enriches and expands your life exponentially - emotionally, logistically, and financially.

The Recruiter

Having worked intimately within the family dynamic for so many years, my academic interest was hooked by how differently these married couples were experiencing the pandemic, versus even the most accomplished singles. I wanted to dig deeper, learn more.

So I reached out to national matchmaking company Three Day Rule and was hired as a Recruiter. My job was every bit as exciting and fun as everyone imagines: headhunting high-value men all over the country for TDR’s mostly-female clientele.

The Matchmaker


Next, I earned my Certificate in Asian Matchmaking under the tutelage of veterans May Bugenhagen (Two Asian Matchmakers, Matchmaker May) and Xiaoli Mei (Elite Asian Matchmaker).

In contrast to TDR’s mostly-female clientele, Matchmaker May and Xiaoli Mei’s clientele exclusively consisted of high net-worth men: doctors, attorneys, and C-level executives.

When Matchmaker May asked me what I would be naming my solo practice, I told her that I’d chosen two names. One for my “typical” matchmaking business serving high-end clientele, and the other, Good Hearts Meet, for the parachute ministry through which I hoped to help singles understand and realize the complex gift of marriage - and the Christian church wake up and take up arms in this battle to rescue marriage and family.

The Matchmaker in the City

My next training ground was Beverly Hills celebrity matchmaking company Matchmakers in the City. I was brought on to focus on their Christian and Catholic clients as a Dating Coach and Matchmaker.

MITC’s clientele were stunning, cultured, and at the top of their game. But they also gave me an inside look into the dilemma illustrated by the parable of the camel and the needle’s eye. How do you date, mate, and love as God has called us to do, when the very foundation of your life is secular success?

“Mitzvah”

Into that period of questioning stepped Julie Ferman and Associates, who asked me to come on board as Director of Mitzvah Matches.

The Hebrew term Mitzvah is one long-associated with the matchmaking world. It literally means “commandment,” and is used to describe a good deed.

This transition put me right where I wanted to be: providing heartfelt introductions to marriage-minded, vetted singles who weren’t exactly in the position to drop $75K on a matchmaker.

This experience was invaluable in teaching me how a heart-driven Matchmaker can sustainably support many singles in finding love.
