Dating is not about tricks, games or pick-up lines. It is about healthy confidence, strong boundaries and discovering your authentic self.

Coaching with Mia teaches you to love rejection, to approach someone and make a first date memorable, and to choose who is worth your time and energy.

Mia coaches men and women, one-to-one.

How I coach

Honest feedback, from a matchmaker.

I offer a woman’s perspective, and I have lived what I talk about. As a matchmaker, I have first-hand access to how both men and women think. My job is to be bold and tell you the ugly truth, not to agree with you: I challenge you and I push you.

I’ve lived the city’s dating life myself, and I have professional training and psychology behind me. As a matchmaker, I also read every application to join my network.

My job is to be your cheerleader, your confidant and your mentor. Your job will be to put the theory into practice. You may ask, “How do I know it will work?” It will, if you are willing to show up for yourself, and if you are tired of your current situation and no longer want to tolerate it.

Why yes to coaching

Saying yes to coaching is brave.

It is not a sign of failure. It is a sign that you are done with a situation that is not moving you anywhere, and ready to take the bold step into your new reality.

Coaching, not therapy

Therapy focuses on healing and resolving past trauma or mental health conditions. Coaching focuses on setting goals and building action plans for your personal or professional growth.

The now, and the future

Coaching touches the past and its healing, but it focuses on the now and on the goals you want to reach. It is actionable and goal-oriented.

Your own reality

We are creators of our own reality. Only when you take accountability for what happens in your life can you move past it and create the reality that matches your desires.

Google reviews

Three of these four reviews use the word practical.

“What stood out is how practical her coaching was. No fluff, just real conversations, role-playing, and clear feedback that I could apply the same day. Even small adjustments in body language and how I frame my words made a big difference.”
Mohamed AbdellatifGoogle review
“The sessions provided me with personalized guidance and practical insights that have truly transformed my approach to dating considering the cultural difference factors. She is a really great listener. You will feel comfortable after each session.”
MuhammadGoogle review
“From the very first session, I could tell how passionate she is about what she does: her energy is genuine, and her love for helping people really shows. She tailored her advice to fit me and gave me homeworks and practical tips that actually made a difference. I’ve not only become more confident in dating, but also more confident in myself as a person.”
Oday IYGoogle review
“One of the most valuable lessons she taught me was that no one is above my self-worth: I don’t have to put people on a pedestal until they truly deserve it. Her sessions brought me clarity, confidence, and a deep sense of peace.”

My method

Coaching is not guesswork.

We start with what you desire. Most of the men who apply to me want marriage or a family. Many ask for a partner who is kind, easy to talk to, or calm.

First, we look at what has happened so far: the dates, the relationships, what went well and what did not. Then we agree on measurable goals, and each week we see how you are progressing. When something gets in the way, we deal with it on the spot.

Coaching is a two-way street. My part is the plan and the feedback. Your part is the practice between sessions. Some weeks will be harder than others.

Questions

Before you decide.

No. Many of the people who come to Mia talk about learning, setting goals or growing. Coaching brings that same approach to dating.

One part of coaching with Mia, alongside the weekly hour and the action plan after it. What a practice date involves, and how it would fit your plan, is a good question for your free call.

In coaching, you work with Mia on how you date, and you meet people on your own terms. In matchmaking, Mia searches on your behalf. After a complimentary video call, if you decide to work together, she meets you in person, writes your profile herself, and introduces you only to women who share your values, with feedback after every date. Not sure which suits you now? Ask her on the complimentary call.

The Clarity Session is one session of 1 hour. The Confidence Series is three sessions, 3 hours in all. The Love Transformation is nine sessions, 9 hours in all. The discovery call before any of them is free, and Mia goes through the options with you there.

No. Sessions can be online when you travel. About a quarter of the men who apply to Mia moved here in the last few years, split their time with another country, or live outside the UAE.

Men of many faiths, and of none, apply to Mia: Muslim, Christian, Hindu, spiritual and non-religious among them. She has worked in Dubai for 5 years, and your coaching plan is built around you, including your faith and your culture, as much as they matter to you. One of the reviews above speaks of cultural difference.

Yes, many do. Height comes up often, as does how a man looks after himself. How you come across, body language included, is part of the coaching, and Mia will tell you plainly where you stand.

For many, yes. Of the women who apply to Mia and answer the question, four in ten say they would not date a smoker.

Loyal, honest, kind: much of the rest can be practised.
