Who is Divine Intervention (DI)?

Divine Intervention is an exclusive, relationship-oriented matchmaking and dating service. We specialize in single and newly single executives, entrepreneurs and professionals. As Vancouver’s and Calgary’s premier matchmaker, Divine Intervention is discerning, discreet and pulls out all the stops to help clients find the right relationship – looking everywhere and anywhere to find the best match.

Headquartered in Vancouver, with an office in Calgary, we conduct searches nationwide and also work with a Toronto affiliate.

Susan Semeniw is Divine’s founder and lead “love coach,” a nickname she picked up many years ago from friends impressed with her natural matchmaking abilities. (She has long been their go-to gal for advice on matters of the heart). With more than 15 years’ experience in corporate sales and marketing, Susan is an intuitive and creative thinker, described by colleagues as a natural networker. She has been in a relationship for over 20 years and understands the effort of making a relationship work for the long term.

We evaluate each person on an individual basis and know that we are not for everyone.

Divine’s goal is simple…to help you find you that special someone to share your life with.

Why a Matchmaker or Love Coach?

Busy business professionals and high achievers often don’t have time search for that special someone. And the opportunity to meet new people outside of your personal network may not be enough. Bringing Divine Intervention in to help your love life, in the same way that you might hire a personal trainer to help to get in shape, or a recruiter to help find a very important member of your management team, just makes sense.

What are the characteristics of a typical client?

Our clients are successful, attractive, fit, confident and looking for someone to complement their already full life. They can easily get dates – but are looking for the one and may be tired of dating services. Our clients are active, engaged with the world around them, smart and open in their attitude, confident in themselves what they have to offer and want a new, loving relationship. They recognize the value of our service.

What is unique about Divine?

We focus on an upscale and more mature demographic. Divine Intervention takes a very custom approach to finding that special someone. We develop a tailored search for each client and cast our net as wide as possible and are not limited within a paying membership. Quality trumps quantity and Divine pre-screens all potential matches so that our clients don’t have to.

Feel like you need some guidance in the mojo department? We are also a full service agency providing one-on-one coaching and we can also connect singles with a team of relationship partners, including intimacy experts, image consultants and personal trainers. Whether it means ditching your torn jeans or doing a few laps, Divine Intervention makes sure you and your date are speaking the same language.

We are hands on, arrange all the dates, give feedback, provide practice dates if necessary and personal coaching. We consistently hear that our unique approach and support throughout the process is invaluable…AND you can tell us anything. Nothing surprises us.

What are the advantages of using Divine Intervention over traditional methods of meeting people or online or other services?

We do all the legwork for you and we are your love life catalyst. No more awkward situations – you have someone who is orchestrating and minimizing the risks. We conduct all the interviews and go on all the coffee dates so you don’t have to. We ensure that what you see is what you get. Our entire process is also highly confidential and discreet. We do not discuss our clients or database matches period. Even before a date your identity is protected.

Is this process confidential?

We are highly confidential and discreet and don’t discuss our clients, period. We will not release your personal information without your prior knowledge and approval. We arrange and control your first meeting and don’t divulge your last name or personal contact information.

Everyone’s identity is always treated with a high degree of discretion and strict confidentiality.

How long will the process take and how much time before I meet my first match?

It depends entirely on your individual profile and your stated requirements. Finding the right person takes time and we don’t have the ability to manufacture human beings. Our clients tell us they value quality over quantity and don’t want their time wasted with an unsuitable introduction.

When is the best time to get started?

Right now. There is never a perfect time to start. Finding love does take time so entrust yourself to a qualified professional who can approach anyone, anywhere on your behalf.

Far too many people wait too long for something spontaneous to happen. You have to be proactive when it comes to life.

How do I get started?

Call us to arrange an in person consultation. This is where we can start to learn about you and your life, including your relationship goals, your dating challenges, your interests and qualities and the type of person you are searching for.
