As you know, laughing increases your threshold for pain, lowers blood pressure, reduces stress hormones, and triggers the release of endorphins – your body’s natural painkillers. A good chuckle can even be contagious, uplifting the mood of those around you and enhancing the quality of …….yes, even you’re DATING experiences.
Here’s a few self-induced, laugh therapy warm-up tips to try prior to your stressful DATING LIFE;
Tip#1: Stream 30 minutes of your favorite comedy while getting ready for your date; after all, an episode of Brooklyn Nine-Nine or a Comedy Central rerun is far more likely to put a smile on your face than your newsfeed.
Tip#2: That long ride to your date can sometimes be tortuous so downloading humour to your playlist will make your commuting journey a lot easier to take if you have something to listen to that tickles your funny bone.
Tip#3: You don’t have to bust a gut to reap the rewards of laughter. Even smiling when you don’t feel like it can change the mood and relax your body language. So smile more!

Choose LOVE-happy May!
Want some inspiration for a new month! Choose LOVE! A very happy client sent me this photo today, making breakfast for her new love……-happy May!
Over 6 months ago, I had the absolute pleasure in introducing two people, who had tried for a while now to find love. HE signed up for my custom search where not only did I look within my database of existing clients, I scouted as well. Well it didn’t take long as SHE reached out after seeing what she liked in the ad, and the rest is history. Two people who cant be happier.
Congratulations to them both for reaching out and choosing Love!-happy May!

Love made me do it!
All that comes from Love is worthwhile! For me , 2016 marks 14 years as a Professional Matchmaker and yes it is an amazing job!
Most people think that when they hire me to help find them someone to share their life with it is my job to “match” them and send them on their way. This may be what most matchmakers do but I have learned over the years that it is not always that simple. The hardest part of what I do is actually the most rewarding and that is helping the client get out of their own way. We all have room for improvement and this is where coaching fits in. It is not only my job to match my clients; it is my job to help them present the very best version of their authentic self so they are prepared not only for a date but to develop a healthy long lasting relationship.
The fact that I have been doing this for 14 years should speak volumes. I actually stopped keeping track of marriages after my first 5 years. I was at the point where I knew it worked and keeping up with the “statistics” just became extra work which meant less time I could focus on matching my clients.
