You don’t have to be perfect to be loved.
You just have to be real.

Prince Edward Island is a wonderful place to live. But there has to be a reason why so many of us over the age of 18 are single!

The world has changed a lot in the past twenty years. Between the invention of
the smartphone and the social isolation we all experienced through a pandemic…
and all of the changes in between, meeting people has become both easier and more difficult than at any other point in history. Wayward Hearts Matchmaking exists for people who feel like they have so much to offer, but still feel alone.

Maybe you’ve tried the apps. Maybe you’re afraid to. Maybe you’ve had your heart broken. Maybe you have yet to find love. Maybe you’re the friend everyone calls for advice, but no one’s calling to ask how you’re doing. Maybe you’re just tired of feeling like your soft heart is a liability. We built this for you. Because we believe you deserve connection that doesn’t require a mask. You deserve to be seen for who you really are.

You deserve real love. Romantic or platonic. Soft or smoldering. Messy, honest, beautifully human love.


What We Believe

  • That kindness is underrated

  • That truth is the first step to intimacy

  • That you don’t need to be fixed. You just need to be found.

You don’t need to be fixed
— just found.

We’re a matchmaking service — but not the kind you’re used to.
We help people connect through:

And as our community grows, we curate events based on who you are — not who the

algorithm says you should want.

If ten of you love comic books, we’ll host a night around that.

If twelve of you collect records, we’ll create a space where you can geek out and

maybe lock eyes across the room.

This is about creating opportunities for the right people to find each other — without

the pressure, without the games. Unless you’re literally connecting over games.


Who We’re Here For


We’re here for the quietly bold, the deeply kind, the gorgeously weird.

People who don’t just want a date — they want a witness.

Someone to share mornings with. Share meals with. Survive the impending apocalypse with.

If that’s you — you’re in the right place.


What We’re Really Doing

We’re making the world brighter by lifting wayward hearts.


One story, one small brave step, one meaningful match at a time.


And we’re so glad you found us.

After years spent supporting large-scale system change, caregiving for loved ones,

and volunteering around the world, I’ve stepped into a new chapter. One that’s

deeply personal, way outside the norm, and chock full of heart. I founded

Wayward Hearts Matchmaking to help people find meaningful connection—

romantic or platonic—without the pressure to perform or conform in this

superficial world. 

At its heart, my work hasn’t changed:

I still help people feel seen and valued. This is just on a more personal level.

Let’s build a softer, braver world by lifting one wayward heart at a time.

Take a brave little step.
We’ll meet you there.


What We Actually Do

I make wayward hearts feel seen

People don’t just need systems. They need someone.

For over 30 years, I’ve worked at the policy level, helping governments,

nonprofits, and communities create better futures through evidence-based

design, social and health advocacy, and inclusive systems.

My work has taken me across sectors and continents, from leading disability

and gender equity initiatives to designing health programs for vulnerable

populations. 

I’ve seen the power of public systems to shape lives, and I’ve always believed

in the importance of creating a world where people feel safe, supported, and valued.

But I’ve also learned something else:

No matter where we come from, we all want the same thing…

Someone we can count on.

Someone who sees us.

A safe place to land.
