What impressed me most is how she weaves together psychology, personal coaching, and cultural nuance to help clients not just find love, but understand what love truly means for them. Xiaoli brings a rare combination of empathy, structure, and vision to her work. She listens deeply, coaches with care, and never loses sight of the individual behind the profile. Watching her guide clients toward meaningful, values-aligned relationships--especially across cultures--has been both inspiring and refreshing. In a world of shortcuts, she chooses substance every time.

    I had a great experience with elite Asian matchmaker. I got burned out by online dating with…read moreendless conversations that lead to wasted time. I engaged with Xiaoli and immediately knew there was a difference. It's matchmaking! No swiping or scrolling. Xiaoli listened to my needs and make introductions and setup first dates. All I need to do is to say yes to the people I want to meet and go on the actual dates with them in 1-2 weeks time frame after I said yes. It's refreshing experience. I haven't found my true love yet but the people I met are great people with quality. If you are a busy professional like me and have no time to go on dating sites or events where you can meet quality people, then this is the perfect service for you.

It was all due to the work I did with Soniyah that I was able to open my heart enough for this person to come into my life. Now he and I have been together for over 2 years and love doing the work together. We have grown as a couple and can see loved ones be inspired by our love and the way we show up for each other. It's a beautiful thing to get to work with Soniyah through this process. She meets us right where we are and gives us tools to help us keep growing as individuals and as partners. I brought my boyfriend into the work pretty much as soon as we met (even when everything was a dream) and now we can keep that dream going, years in. If you want to grow in yourself and be open for your love to find you, look NO FURTHER than Finding Bliss!!! Seriously! My boyfriend and I wish every person in the world had a "Soniyah" in their lives!

Soniyah is a fierce guide through the ups, downs, insides and outs of LOVE. If you want to align with (your) love, you know that it is incredible, and sometimes easy, sometimes wild and chaotic. Soniyah's presence has been impactful through many of these aspects, but especially supportive when love has been gloriously messy. It's her true gift, and a gift to receive her care. Thank you for how you trust love and guide people to more depth, intimacy & alignment with love. Not the path for the faint of heart, but for those who want more heart! I love sending people to you, and especially love hearing them share how they've grown as a result of working with you!! Thank you for saying 'YES' to showing up in this way Soniyah!! ~

What I got from my first meeting with Joy was deep listening, curious questioning and a professional match maker from toe to head. While my time knowing Joy as a client has been but 1.5 years, she has introduced me to so many incredible people from her network. With that said, she also introduced me to this spectacular human being who is now my partner in love. She is weird, has SOOOOO many overlapping experiences (Landmark education etc.) and has been instrumental in who I have become today. Joy set up my first and possibly last blind date, it was done with setting the intention i.e. location and logistics. I was to carry a flower/and a book not only as my marker, but also a great below the surface ice breaker. It was awesome, Joy now continues in my life as a friend and an igniter for deeper and sillier experiences that are glass half full and wholesome. Big hugs to you Joy, if you haven't met this human, you should. Warmly, Kyle

I did not know of the costs of Joy's process until several weeks in and in the meantime paid in full for the 1st 12 weeks. Of course I was not going to continue when the options were $66,000, $50,000 and $27,000. So I decided to stop with 5 weeks left, as i had no interest in paying for a photo shoot and having help with what to wear etc. and "maybe" getting one "introduction" out of it. Obviously this was not for me. Bottom line is she never mentioned future costs after I already paid $4080 until a couple of weeks later only to say there would be a deposit, with no $ figure. To say the least I was shocked. She blames me for not asking but i think this is a very non-transparent way of doing business. Sounds like many people out there think she's great. Apparently they are fine with spending that kind of money. I'd rather go to Europe.

The rapport we built in a short amount of time allowed me to trust that she really had/has my best interest at heart. My matches so far have been well attuned to my personality and interests. I feel grateful for Kelly's thoughtfulness and consideration in setting up my matches. I feel grateful for the opportunity to give feedback and how each date going forward is based on that feedback. Above all the IJL service has offered me the opportunity to connect with other people who are looking for a serious relationship, something the dating apps really fall short on. In conclusion I highly recommend Kelly and the IJL team knowing that soon I'll be in the relationship of my dreams thanks to their hard work and dedication to their craft.

    THEY STILL CALL ME AFTER 22 YEARS!…read more I used the service once back in 2003 for one lunch as a freebie trial because a friend was a new rep of theirs and she wanted me to 'just try it out' for them. Since then, I get a call probably once or twice a year saying that they have found 'someone aaaamazing' for me. Every time, I tell them that I am off the market as I have been with the same woman for 15 years - married for 13. I even go so far as to return their voicemails to advise them of such. Still they call. I have come to the humorous conclusion that either they have zero unmarried alpha males in their Bay Area dating pool so they have to reach out to us Texas men or they're trying to become the next Ashley Madison via lunch dates at Red Lobster.

But deepening in them, creating something meaningful out of them, and creating win-win situations within them was essentially non-existent especially when the pressures of work-life hit. I used to think that relationships were supposed to always be easy going and calm, well, they should be but aren't always, but that doesn't necessarily mean give up. One day I had an "Ah ha" moment, when I realized that the biggest breakdowns come inside of the most committed relationships. Today I know that my most important relationships are my closest ones, and they are what I put my most energy, love, vulnerability, openness, generosity, and self-awareness towards. Lauren has known me and has been a pillar in my life through these times. I'm grateful for her and all that she offers is not only fad relationship work, but it's at the heart of what's going wrong with us. I believe in both personal sessions and group work. She can help facilitate you to a better place, whether you need to find and fix things or to better prepare for the unknown future of relationships she's the one to go to. There's no better investment than in yourself, that's undeniable truth. You don't need to have issues to see Lauren, optimizing life now is just as important. To have such a gentle, special soul like Lauren to guide you through wherever you are in life is one of the greatest things you can do for yourself. Thank you, Lauren! I appreciate you and how you've helped me through the years!
