"Lisa is a gift to the daunting world of dating! She provided a lot of wisdom along the way, helped me improve my online presence and helped me shift my perspective before, during and after dates, enabling me to look at the dating process differently! I highly recommend working with Lisa at any and every stage of the dating process!"

"I had the pleasure of being trained by Hayley Hurst for the Art of Online Takeover, and the experience was absolutely incredible. I learned so much during our sessions, and her knowledge, clarity, and guidance made everything easy to understand and apply. Beyond the training itself, it has been wonderful getting to know her. She is supportive, professional, and truly passionate about what she teaches. I’m genuinely excited to start offering this as a service, and I feel confident thanks to the strong foundation she provided. Highly recommend!"

"I am forever grateful that Lisa Ratner left the corporate world to become a matchmaker! Her patience, and upbeat attitude helped me get my groove back after my 20-year marriage ended in divorce. Lisa pushed me to get clarity on what I wanted from dating, and gave me the confidence to prioritize my needs throughout this wild ride. I'm happy to report that after just a few months, l've matched with someone I'm truly excited about getting to know!"

"One year ago today, you sent me an email saying you had a potential match for me. That match is the greatest thing that’s ever happened to me. For so many years, I dreamed of finding love like this, and thanks to you, it became a reality.

Thank you so incredibly much for making the connection and changing my life forever. I am so deeply grateful for you each and every day."

"One of the best choices I've made was to come to Lisa Ratner for coaching when I felt like my dating life was stuck. Lisa is a compassionate listener who helped me debunk my limiting beliefs and be more open and ready for when my person comes along! I realized I hadn't even given myself permission to describe and honor my criteria for my ideal partner. I'm so grateful, and I would recommend Lisa to anyone who's ready to take a proactive, mindful approach to finding real love!"

"We truly can't say enough wonderful things about our experience with Hayley. After feeling completely burnt out by the apps, we turned to Hayley. Her personalized and kind approach was a breath of fresh air that ultimately led us to each other. She took the time to deeply understand what we were both looking for in a partner, and her guidance was honest and trustworthy. Throughout the process, she was so easy to talk to and was always available whenever we needed her. We are happier than we could have imagined and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a genuine connection."

"Lisa and I have been in the online dating trenches together and I've always appreciated her ability to empathically listen and provide practical advice, especially when it comes to relationship building. She has excellent coaching skills and her ability to focus on you and your life’s goals are both rare and outstanding. I highly recommend Lisa as a trusted partner."

"Hayley is a gem to work with! Earlier this year, she interviewed me for a potential match. I was very impressed with her. First, Hayley was working with another company at the time. She was honest about the company she was working for and her role as a matchmaker. Second, during the interview with me, Hayley was very professional and asked really thoughtful questions. I could tell that she genuinely cared about me and treated me as a person, rather than being "pushy" and trying to force the match. Third, prior to my first virtual date with my match, she provided a guideline of what to expect for the first few dates, along with ice breakers, for the first, third and fifth date. Fourth, after the first virtual date (it's a long distance relationship), I had to fill out a questionnaire about the date and provide feedback to Hayley. Hayley even set up the first three Zoom meets with my match.(She set them up individually when I asked). At the end of the interview I had with Hayley, she said something along the lines that even if the match doesn't work out, I'll at least make a new friend. Turn out, I didn't make a new friend, but rather the match turned out to be the man of my dreams! We've been dating for almost three months and are talking about marriage next year. I had given up on finding love, but thanks to Hayley, I have found my soul mate. I highly recommend Hayley as a matchmaker! You won't find anyone better than her!"

"If I was still on the dating scene, I'd hire Lisa to help me find my person in a hot minute! She actively listens with an empathetic ear and imparts wise guidance and advice to keep you focused on your dating and relationship goals. Our time on this earth is limited, don’t waste another minute!"

"I have had the pleasure and privilege of working with Hayley towards restructuring my online profiles and other related dating matters. Not only is she attentive to details, but she really gets to the root of the specific request and provides her knowledge and expertise. She is a powerful business woman who will give it to you straight, but dedicates herself towards helping you improve and she is there every step of the way. As a client, I’m grateful for her guidance and assistance."

William Hoffer

"I've known Lisa professionally and personally for over 20 years and she's become a dear friend. I've always appreciated her collaborative approach to understand what makes people tick, earn their trust, and build strong relationships. She is a go-to thought partner for her friends and clients alike."

"I received a text from Hayley on a Friday night saying she met someone who she thought would be perfect for me. Two years later this person would become my wife. Hayley has that uncanny ability of sensing what people are made for each other!"
