When I started working with Joyce, I hadn’t been in a relationship for two years. I’d been going on first dates but was really struggling to decide whether I wanted to continue dating after that (and beyond). I wasn’t sure how to tell whether someone was a good fit for me!
Looking at Joyce’s publicly available materials, I was really drawn to her structured, process-based approach to dating; I was happy to jump in immediately and work with her through her system to better understand what I was looking for and how I could more confidently assess compatibility. By the end of our 3 months of coaching, I’d made it to the point that I was confident, through the combination of massively improved self-knowledge and tools for reflecting after dates, that I’d know whether going on another date would bring me closer to finding a partner. (And spoiler: I started seriously dating someone I had a really strong connection with by the end of our coaching!)
What I didn’t expect (and was very pleasantly surprised by) were the experiences of the coaching sessions themselves. I felt so supported and understood. Joyce always had the perfect question to help me dig a little deeper and to truly understand how I was feeling or why I was feeling that way. I always came out of sessions with good next steps.
Finally, I was super impressed with the breadth of Joyce’s expertise and ability to be helpful across a bunch of different situations. At every stage in my dating journey, I felt like I’d been very supported and had actionable things to do from wherever I was at that time. I have confidence Joyce would be able to handle any situation other people might have!
Before working with Joyce, I had hit rock bottom in dating. I had been divorced and single for almost 3 years, stuck in a cycle of situationships with unavailable men. I felt hopeless that I’d find a great guy in my 30s. Joyce put me back on track! 3 months after I started working with her, I found my now-boyfriend. She helped me clarify my non-negotiables and be the “chooser”: focus on people who put in effort with me. She encouraged me to be open-minded on Hinge. It was then that I reconnected with a previous match. My relationship now is my ideal: I feel calm, valued, and truly supported. Joyce created a non-judgmental space where I felt safe, seen and encouraged to grow. Her positivity gave me the optimism I needed to keep going when I was discouraged. I would not be where I am today—happily in a meaningful relationship—without her. If finding a life partner is your #1 priority, I 10/10 recommend Joyce!

When I met Joyce, I’d been single for 7 years and on and off the apps for 5. I was low on hope and a bit of a recluse. Joyce helped me increase my confidence by redoing my profile, figuring out what I’m looking for, swiping accordingly, and handling first dates and beyond. I’m now not only more confident and in a happy, committed relationship, but also more outgoing in general. A lot of her input works for life as a whole. She was great at adapting to my feedback and learning style. She was systematic and organized in running sessions. I’d happily recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat.
