Frequently Asked Questions

1. What does the one-hour consultation include?

The first step is a one-on-one consultation with Cat. It’s a personalized, hour-long session designed to get to know you and your goals. Before your meeting, you’ll receive a questionnaire to complete. During the consultation, Cat will talk with you about what you’re looking for and create a customized game plan to help set you up for success.

2. What happens after the consultation?

After the consultation, Cat will craft a personalized proposal based on your goals and what you’re seeking. She’ll review it with you, and together you’ll decide what feels like the right fit. Pricing varies depending on the type of service and time involved, and Cat will go over all the details during the consultation once she has a clear understanding of your needs.

3. What is your success rate?

Cat’s approach to matchmaking is different from traditional services. She’s not a “drive-thru” matchmaker — it’s a thoughtful, holistic process that goes far deeper than just setting up dates. Success is defined individually: for some, it’s finding their person; for others, it’s gaining clarity, building confidence, or understanding what kind of connection truly feels right. We work best with those who are open, coachable, and ready for growth. If someone isn’t ready for that kind of journey, that’s okay — we may not be the right fit at this time.

4. How large is your database?

At Scottsdale Matchmaker, it’s about quality, not quantity. We focus on highly personalized introductions rather than a large database. If you are seeking multiple dates at once, traditional matchmaking might not be the right fit for you.

5. What are your prices?

Investment ranges vary depending on the level of service and the time involved. Cat will go over all the details during your consultation once your personalized approach is outlined.

6. How long are the contracts?

Contracts can range anywhere from one month to five months, depending on your needs and selected services.

7. Can I speak to one of your previous clients?

Confidentiality is of utmost importance to us. Whether you are a current or former client, your privacy will always be protected. We do not reveal client identities. If you’d like to hear more about others’ experiences, you can visit our testimonials page.

8. Why do I need a dating coach if I’ve been to therapy in the past?

Therapy is a powerful space for healing, self-awareness, and emotional growth and it often lays a beautiful foundation for deeper connection. Dating coaching, especially with Cat, The Scottsdale Matchmaker, is more action-oriented. It’s about translating that inner work into real-world relationship success.

Cat guides you in navigating the nuances of modern dating with clarity, intention, and heart. Many of her clients are therapists themselves or have done extensive personal work. They come to her not because something is “wrong,” but because they’re ready to date with more purpose, alignment, and emotional depth.

This is about taking what you’ve learned in therapy and, with Cat’s tailored guidance, turning it into meaningful, lasting love.
