Questions before you book?

Adeena works privately with Orthodox Jewish men and women who are dating for marriage. Some clients are actively dating. Others are preparing to start, returning after a break, or trying to understand why the process has felt stuck.

Yes. Adeena is a frum dating coach who works with Orthodox Jewish men and women dating for marriage. She understands the role of shadchanim, family expectations, and the questions that can make dating feel complicated. Sessions give you space to talk things through with someone who understands that context.

A shidduch coach, also called a shidduch dating coach, helps you work through the parts of dating that belong to you: your decisions, patterns, communication, expectations, and concerns. A coach does not choose a spouse for you. The point is to help you think more clearly and date in a way that fits your values.

A shadchan looks for possible matches and helps manage introductions and feedback. Dating coaching focuses on you. Adeena may help you prepare for a date, understand a recurring pattern, decide whether to continue, or communicate more clearly with a shadchan or parent. Her paid coaching does not include matchmaking or a promise of suggestions.

Yes. Adeena still makes matches as a volunteer. She keeps that work separate from her paid coaching practice. Hiring her as a coach does not include active match searching or guaranteed suggestions.

Adeena has spent more than 15 years volunteering as a shadchan and received a dating coaching certificate from Rabbi Dr. Yossi Ives. Her approach combines a coach's focus on the individual with a practical understanding of the Orthodox Jewish dating process.

No. Coaching can help before dating begins, especially when fear, uncertainty, past experiences, or practical obstacles keep delaying the first step. It can also help when suitable suggestions are not coming or the matches you receive do not reflect what matters to you.

Yes. You can use a session to talk through communication, pacing, compatibility, attraction, uncertainty, or a decision about another date. The goal is not to push a relationship forward. It is to help you understand what is happening and respond thoughtfully.

Coaching can help you understand what is wearing you down, set healthier boundaries around the process, and decide what needs to change before you keep going. It is not therapy. If anxiety or another mental health concern needs clinical care, Adeena may suggest working with a licensed professional.

No. Adeena can help you examine your concerns, values, compatibility, and patterns, but the decision remains yours. Good coaching should strengthen your judgment, not replace it.

Yes. A shidduch resume can be part of a coaching conversation when it is relevant. The goal is not only to polish it. The more important question is whether it presents you clearly and accurately to the people reading it.

Yes. Coaching can help you prepare for those conversations, give clearer feedback, and put what you need into words. If you want Adeena to speak directly with someone else, discuss that with her first.

Paid coaching sessions are 30 minutes. Adeena prefers a focused format so the conversation can stay centered on one current situation, decision, pattern, or goal.

A single 30-minute Clarity Session is $125. The four-session Dating Clarity package is $450, and the eight-session Dating Partnership package is $850. New clients can begin with a free 10-minute discovery call.

Adeena is based in Los Angeles and works with clients virtually, so you do not need to live in California. The free discovery call is by phone. Details for paid coaching sessions are provided when you schedule.

Yes. Coaching is meant to be a place where you can speak openly. Adeena does not routinely report what you discuss to parents or shadchanim. The coaching agreement and privacy policy explain the exact terms.

No. Dating coaching is practical, goal-focused support. It is not psychotherapy and does not replace care from a licensed mental health professional when that is what you need.

No. A coach or shadchan cannot honestly guarantee a particular outcome. Coaching is there to help you understand yourself, make sound decisions, communicate better, and move through dating in a healthier way.

You will have 10 minutes to tell Adeena what has been happening, ask questions, and see whether her approach feels right for you. Choose a time online and enter the phone number Adeena should call. There is no obligation to book coaching afterward.
