OUR MATCHMAKING APPROACH IS UNIQUE AND CUSTOM-TAILORED
Our search is NOT based on aggressive marketing schemes computer like matching, video database, or on-line tests. We recognize that all clients are unique, and we choose a unique strategy for every particular client when searching for their ideal life partner. We create an action plan of custom-networking, advertising, personal connections, and community outreach. We invest time getting to know you and your potential matches, thereby providing you with the most accurate results.
PSYCHOLOGICAL COMPATIBILITY
Our commitment to finding your perfect match is based on your lifestyle, life goals, personal values and psychological compatibility.
We DO NOT find matches based on common interests and hobbies.
We believe the relationship is all about how two romantic partners act in life’s prickly situations. It's their ability to create a good "fit", even when their connection doesn't seem seamless, smooth and natural. We encourage our clients to focus less on physical criteria and common interests, and more on a potential romantic partner's "relationship skills" or "emotional intelligence".

“The extensive interview helps McDonald uncover information that allows her to match clients according to their character and prior relationships, rather than interests or hobbies. McDonald also performs an “emotional tune-up,” in which she helps clients analyze past relationships and decide what they want in a mate. She then scours her sources, including a 3,000-person database, to find a match...”

LISTEN TO US LIVE! CLICK HERE TO LISTEN! 11/13/2008 at 10:00 a.m Wow, what a great experience! We’re very pleased with our on-air appearance. Online Dating and the Changing World of Matchmaking


Today, going online is just another way to find a date. But how do companies like eHarmony and Match.com set people up? Is there a magic formula? How has online dating changed the landscape of old–fashioned matchmaking? Online companies playing Cupid. Is a match made in heaven really just one mouse click away?

WHY OUR MATCHMAKING APPROACH IS UNIQUE Everyone has a pattern they use in the relationships. What we call chemistry is actually sitting deep in unconscious and is hard wired. It determines your relationships choices for the rest of your life. Because of it, you crave specific types of people and situations whether they are good for you or not. You will continue to do this unless you do something to change your hard wiring. You cannot change your wiring by reading a book or by attending a seminar. If you could you would have exactly the kind of relationships you want by now. Only method that imprints the original primal level, pulls out your core fears and interrupts your original wiring, can change your relationship patterns. That is what I do the best -helping people to consider matches which they would never pick on their own to build a life long connection. REQUEST MORE INFO or click HERE to learn more
PRIVATE INTERVIEW AND COACHING SESSION (about 2,5-3 hours): includes a personal assessment to secure appropriate information about your desires and considerations; past history and patterns evaluation; and developing your Personal Love Development Plan. *A fee of $395 applies. LEARN MORE

CLICK HERE TO READ MORE TESTIMONIALS FROM OUR CLIENTS
"Thank you for the introduction you set up for me. Your experience and insight into people is very keen. The match you arraigned was a good one. I have had several dates with your client and there is good chemistry with us. We have a lot in common and have enjoyed each others company. I would be happy to recommend your services to anyone that is looking for a special person in their lives." Male - 60yo, Bellevue/WA - May, 2008
"Sophia's approach is dead-on and transforms all our soggy paradigms from the past into something that WORKS. She is participating powerfully in my transformation; she’s help me become a noticeably more loving and less ego-driven individual. In the end, Sophia’s approach proves that spiritual evolution of self is the only way to attract the mate you're looking for, and she makes it easy. She’s taught me in just a few hours how simple shifts in my self-awareness and attitudes can change everything for the better. Sophia’s experiential and philosophical approach does so much more than convert “lemons” into “lemonade”; she coaxes out our inner beauty. In my case, it was inner beauty I had never before appreciated in myself. Set free, that newfound joy and beauty is spreading like wildfire across every aspect of my life. I’ll never again approach a woman in the same way; I’ll never view my role in any love affair through the same flawed filter I was given in early life. She proves it is possible to teach old dogs new tricks! I have never before praised any service to this whole-hearted extent. But Sophia is simply extraordinary to work with. I have no conflict of interest in saying this; I only hope she can spread her take on love far and wide. She brilliantly synthesizes the most salient aspects of popular self-help and religions concepts from every corner of human experience, and the results are powerful.In fact, this service is much more than a matchmaking business. It’s really life-coaching on steroids, with a very pleasant side-effect. If you’re open to her guidance, it will bring much better matches and much better relationship skills into your life. Sophia helps solve the universal struggle of every human … the elimination of lovelessness and loneliness in our lives. Bravo Sophisticated Matchmaking!" Roger, Mercer Island/WA - October 8th, 2008

"Sophia McDonald’s approach to matchmaking is like no other. She believes that great relationships start with self awareness and she skillfully guides you through that process. Sophia has keen intuition and very insightful. She is teaching you in a very inspiring way to melt away hidden tendencies and behaviors that sabotage your relationships. What makes it pleasant working with Sophia is that she has a talent for teaching growth and transformation in a spirit of self-discovery and not blame, judgment or self-reproach. After every session with Sophia I feel enlightened and empowered. Sophia’s coaching already affected all aspects of my life. I was able to enhance my relationships with friends, parents, coworkers and even my neighbor without even trying. It’s like a magic ;-) I know I’ll never approach my next romantic relationship in a way I did before. I can‘t wait to discover what’s going to happen next." Tatyana O., Seattle/WA - October 9th, 2008
"You are one of the most accomplished women I have ever met (and I have met a lot of people). What makes you especially amazing is your gracious generous approach to life. I am sincere when I say you will be "famous". The spirit you embrace business into matchmaking makes a ton of sense to people like me who are very driven at work yet traditional in love. I truly thank you for the time you spent with me today. More than that, I thank you for the hard effort you put into making certain that I do my part. Much like a wonderful BIG sister, you sent me a POA (plan of action) which I greatly appreciate. Like faith without legs, talking about doing something means nothing if not followed with action!' Female - 47yo, Bellevue/WA - December, 2007
"I've always believed that certain people come into your life for a reason, and Sophia was definitely one of those people! I went into our meeting thinking I knew what I wanted and how to get it. After going through my family and persoanl history and reviewing goals with her my eyes were opened in a big way. She helped me re-evaluate my priorities, see patterns of mistakes and helped me put together an action plan. I now have a better sense of who I am, what I'm looking for, and where I want to be. Spending a few hours with her changed my entire outlook on dating". Female - 33yo, Seattle/WA - January, 2008
“While working with Sophia, I did recognize I was in the presence of amazing... Thanks again for being wonderful. You help me believe that there really are truly special women out there...” Male - 53yo, Olympia/WA - June, 2008
"If you have any issues or confusion about love at all, at least one visit to this group could open your mind to realizations and teach you how to be objective toward yourself in future relationships; well, in everything really!" - Gabríel Rey Morales (Aug 22, 2008) "The group in attendance was open and willing to share views and listen to others." - Kelly (Aug 21, 2008)
"Your questions will be answered. The insight of a professional matchmaker brings to light many topic that you can further explore on your own." - Arland (Aug 14, 2008) "It's a different perspective on dating." - Brian (Aug 11, 2008) "Sophia has a lot of passion for what she does. She is a person that I feel that can improve your life just by being around her and listening to her speak." - Brett (Jul 25, 2008) "Good to come with a open heart, if you want to get better at dating and relationships" - Jacqueline (Jul 24, 2008)

Imagine a woman who believes it is right and good she is a woman. A woman who honors her experiences and tells her stories. Who refuses to carry the sins of others within her body and life. Imagine a woman who believes she is good. A woman who trusts and respects herself.

If you will be able to remove the programming associated with these emotions, you will free enough space in your mind to be able to move objects (telekinesis). Your mind spends an incredible amount of time on these tree issues and the neurons of the brain are occupied with resentment and regret. The Greatest Fear of Nothing… Are you afraid of nothing, of being nothing….If there is anything that you would change, what it would be? What is missing in your life today?

In the spirit of the holiday season, and in anticipation of the approaching new year, I want to acknowledge my relationships and connections over this year and years past. My deep thanks to each of you for what you have added to my personal and professional growth and fulfillment. I share with you:
My wish for 2009:
Stop taking ourselves so seriously!

less anger and more hope...

Friendship is a personal relationship shared between each friend for the welfare of other, in other words, it is the relationship of trust, faith and concern for each other feelings. It is a relationship of mutual caring and intimacy among one another. A friend is one who knows you as a person and regards you for what you are and not what he or she is looking in a good friend. Best friend is one who accepts the good as well bad qualities of his friend and also takes an initiative in correcting and mending them. Friendship is a distinctive kind of concern for your friend, it is a relationship of immense faith and love for each other.

Here are 10 tips by Iain Legg I really enjoyed:
1. DON'T give away your power to people. Take responsibility for
your life. If things aren't going as hoped in your life, re examine
your deepest beliefs. Swap limiting beliefs for empowering ones.
2. DO get a pet! According to Power vs Force, a purring cat
vibrates at 500 (anything over 200 is Good..)
3. DON'T watch movies that drag you down. According to Power vs
Force, this is most films. Watch movies that will make you feel
good. Listen to music that fills you with positive emotions. Read
books that empower you. (Control the input to your brain, and
you'll control your output).

“The beginning of love is to let those we love be perfectly themselves, and not to twist them to fit our own image. Otherwise we love only the reflection of ourselves we find in them."

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves - Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” - Marianne Williamson
