Hi! I’m Jessica Leary, a certified matchmaker, a certified relationship coach, an educator, a mom, and a wife-to-be! I am and have always been incredibly passionate about all things having to do with relationships. For the last two decades, I have had a passion for helping others find love, nurturing others with their relationships, and having had the privilege to match couples who have been in thriving relationships for years.
Meet Jessica Leary
Certified Matchmaker & Relationship Coach
I am a dating and relationship expert and have learned (sometimes the hard way) how to navigate online dating, waiting for the right one while repeatedly choosing the wrong one. We have all been there. Let’s be honest. It’s not easy to find our “one.” Thankfully, after years of research, reflection, learning and changing my mindset, and practicing new techniques (that I can’t wait to share with you), I finally got it right and realized I could have what I want AND what I need. The good news, or should I say, the fantastic news, is YOU can have this too! You deserve this! You deserve someone compatible and someone who meets your needs!
My Philosophy & Mission
Think about it. Where do we learn HOW to have successful relationships? If we’re really fortunate, we have good role models who live and demonstrate love. However, most of us are not that lucky! We learn about (unrealistic) relationships from TV, movies, books, and social media, take advice from our (mostly) well-intended but untrained friends and family, and emulate the same problems they experience. I want to help others break that cycle!
Many open to online dating have experienced, “I thought she/he was going to be perfect!” Then they either only want to text, ghost you, are very different from their profile, or there is no connection, and so much time is wasted, over and over again.
Love is not easy, as the TV and movies often portray. Love takes work! And if people are willing to do the work and put in the effort, I firmly believe (and have seen firsthand) that they can have long-lasting, fulfilling love. As an educator, I have often asked myself why there aren’t classes on how to have successful relationships. Side note: I also question why everyone is not required to take financial literacy since that is another significant part of life that EVERYONE encounters, but that’s a whole other topic.
Let me be clear. Love is not only a feeling. Love is also a choice, AND it is an action! This is my mission — to teach others how to have successful, meaningful, and fulfilling relationships. It requires us to be reflective and open to overcoming things that block us from finding and keeping a relationship strong and flourishing. It needs us to be open to what qualities would be a good match, remembering what we have chosen previously hasn’t worked, and why we would consider working with a matchmaker. And lastly, it requires us to be transparent so our needs, wants, and concerns can be deeply understood and addressed so that an excellent, quality, vetted, compatible match can be found for you to grow old with.
