with Devora Krasnianski, founder of Adai Ad

Shidduchim. Every person’s experience is unique. For some people, dating can be a challenging and sometimes frustrating experience, and having someone to talk to who understands what you’re going through can be immensely helpful.

One of the things I can do is help you create a dating strategy that takes into account your unique personality, preferences and needs. We’ll work together to identify any areas where you might be getting in your own way, and come up with a plan to overcome those obstacles. I can also give you practical advice on things like creating a dating profile, working with or without a shadchan, and navigating tricky situations like first dates and having uncomfortable conversations.

But it’s not just about strategy and advice – I’m also here to provide emotional support and encouragement. Dating can be tough, and it’s easy to get discouraged or burnt out. That’s where I come in! I’ll be your cheerleader, your sounding board, and your confidante throughout the dating process. With my help, you’ll be able to approach dating with confidence, clarity, and maybe even some fun!

Thank Yous

Just wanted to personally let you know that I got engaged this past Sunday B”H! wanted to thank you for all coaching and advice you gave me.

I spent a lot of time going over the topics we discussed and preparing how/what to share.

It was especially helpful for when it came to sharing certain things that we discussed. the concept of ‘dripping’ and gauging the way he responds to what I share was extremely helpful.

Firstly, it helped me feel more comfortable having the harder conversations because I was already able to tell he would be responsive and understanding. Secondly, it helped me notice and be more aware of certain important qualities he has that ultimately helped me realize I’m with someone who is good for me.

The webinars you put out also gave me so much knowledge! Really appreciate the help!!!!! Thank you!

I so appreciate our conversations. You are so intuitive and easy to talk to. You helped me realize where I was getting stuck and now I’m in a better place with dating. I’m no longer anxious. I actually am enjoying the dating more now that I am more relaxed about it.

Thank you
