Matchmaking with Lu
Why Matchmaking?
​
Matchmaking is a calling. It is the intentional approach to family and legacy building. Despite our ever-increasing digital connections, many are lonely and struggling to find a suitable and compatible partner. For generations men and women approached courtship and marriage with the support and guidance of family and community. For many this support is not available or realistic. Matchmaking is the process of vetting potential matches and providing quality introductions between compatible men and women. How does this process work?
​
Step one: Intake
​
I will meet with you one-on-one once I have received and reviewed your initial intake paperwork. I request the completed paperwork be sent to me by email. This intake takes place via zoom and takes roughly an hour. This meeting gives us a chance to get to know each other. I will complete an NDA on a case-by-case basis if requested by a client.
​
Step two: Service enrollment
​
If we mutually agree to work together, I request that you commit at least six months to the process. Once you have committed to the process, I will work on sourcing potential matches from within my other clients and within my wider network. Throughout this process I will honor your privacy and keep you updated. I am looking for quality not quantity when it comes to matches. My goal is not to provide many matches, my goal is to sort out possible matches and only move forward to the next steps when I think the match has a high probability of success. If your goal is quantity over quality I will refer you to dating apps or other services with an approach more aligned with your goals.
​
Step three: Match Review, Ongoing Support
​
You can expect updates from me on a regular basis via whatever communication method you prefer; either by email, zoom, or telephone. Once I have determined I have a potential match to review with you I will notify you. If you are available for a potential introduction when you receive this notification, I will book a session on my calendar to review via zoom. I will not provide a full introduction until I have completed this step with your potential match.
​
Step four: Introduction
​
If both parties give me the “go ahead” I will provide each party with the contact information and identity of their match. If you share this information without that party’s permission with a third party, you are no longer eligible for my services. I expect discretion and respect from all clients throughout this process.
​
Step five: Follow up
​
After meeting each other I will follow up with each party to determine preferences for moving forward. Being open to feedback is crucial for the success of the process. My goal is a flourishing and mutually beneficial romantic relationship. If both parties decide to move forward, I will step out of the picture as my matchmaking work is done. I am available for mentoring moving forward if desired by either party.

​
Client Expectations:
​
I retain the right to decline to provide matchmaking services at any time. The following actions will result in immediate termination of matchmaking services:
-Continuing contact with potential match after they decline to pursue contact with you.
-Misrepresentation of yourself as a potential match at any point in the process, for example not being legally divorced from a prior marriage, having children you did not disclose, or not being employed or financially stable and not disclosing this information. This list is not all inclusive, these are simply examples. Your honesty is required. Failure to disclose pertinent information or providing misleading/false information will result in termination of services.
-Sharing the identity of a match publicly without their permission.
-Mistreatment of potential matches at any point in the process will result in immediate termination of services.
-Any harassment or mistreatment of staff at Matriarch Mentoring will result in immediate termination of services.
-Please note that failure to complete and return the provided intake paperwork will delay services. Without this assessment I cannot adequately provide services.
