little birdie matchmaking
Little Birdie is a therapist-led matchmaking project created for singles who are tired of burnout, ghosting, and endless swiping - and ready for something real. We focus on emotional readiness, healthy relationship skills, and values-aligned connection. If you want love that was curated with intention (and don’t want to rely on an algorithm or pure chance), you’re in the right place.
ready to get started?
First, you’ll complete our matchmaking questionnaire so we can get to know you better. Next, we’ll reach out to schedule a 30-minute one-on-one meeting (can be virtual or in person). During this conversation, we’ll explore your relationship patterns, needs, and goals—so we can thoughtfully match you and support your journey to finding love.
matchmaking
Once you’re green-lighted for readiness, you'll have the option to join our curated, hand-selected pool of singles (in SD, OC, LA). We screen for emotional availability, maturity, kindness, and compatibility. Quality over quantity is the heart of our process.
dating consultation
Feeling stuck or unsure where you are in your dating journey? We offer personalized 1:1 consultations designed to meet you exactly where you are.
Whether you’re meeting people organically or through apps, preparing for a date, or reflecting afterward, we provide thoughtful guidance every step of the way.
Together, we can work on managing nerves, improving communication, setting healthy boundaries, pacing emotional connection, strengthening your mindset, and building genuine confidence.
Our coaching stands apart: grounded in therapeutic insight and tailored to support meaningful, lasting change in how you approach dating.
singles events
Starting this spring... Low-pressure gatherings designed to bring emotionally ready people together in real life - no swiping, no awkward speed-dating energy. Follow us on Instagram to stay up to date!
faq's: is this therapy?
This is not therapy, treatment, or mental health care. Our services include intentional matchmaking + dating strategy + curated singles events. If therapy or deeper emotional work is needed, you’ll be referred to trusted clinicians who can support that journey. We have the exact eye to be able to point you in the right direction.
what if i'm not ready?
If we identify any yellow or red flags, it doesn’t mean you’re “not good enough” - it simply means there are areas worth nurturing before entering a new relationship.
If that comes up, you’ll receive clear, compassionate feedback along with thoughtful referrals and guidance to help you build the skills, stability, and healing needed for lasting love.
You’re always welcome to return and reconnect with us whenever you feel ready.
are matches guaranteed?
Matchmaking is a deeply human, dynamic process - shaped by timing, alignment, and the natural ebb and flow of the dating pool. While specific matches can’t be guaranteed, we do promise meaningful opportunities for thoughtfully curated introductions when a genuine fit exists.
You’ll also receive honest feedback, intentional vetting, personalized dating support and strategy, and priority access to our singles events - ensuring you’re consistently supported throughout your journey.
