My client John, a successful entrepreneur in his mid-forties based in Los Angeles, came to Maclynn in 2024 following the end of a long marriage. After a difficult divorce marked by infidelity, he took the time to heal and reflect, ultimately realising that online dating could not offer what he truly needed: a psychologically informed, emotionally grounded approach. With a strong commitment to self-development, he was seeking a partner with genuine emotional intelligence and the capacity to understand him on a deeper level.
I introduced him to a warm, emotionally attuned woman in her late thirties who was living in New York. Despite the distance, their connection was immediate. Both lead bi-coastal lives for work, which naturally created a rhythm of seeing one another regularly. They quickly discovered a rare sense of ease together, sharing more laughter than either had experienced in previous relationships and describing their connection as smooth, comfortable and full of promise.
Since then, they have been travelling back and forth, enjoying how effortlessly their lives fit together. I could not be happier for this wonderful couple.
