Meet the Matchmakers Behind Matchmaking Collective

What began as a chance reconnection over an unforgettable shared client story quickly revealed something undeniable—two seasoned matchmakers approaching relationships from different angles, yet aligned in purpose. With Karen’s decades of experience in elite matchmaking and Marnie’s clinical background in marriage and family therapy, it became clear that together, we could offer something far more powerful than either of us alone.

Thus, Matchmaking Collective was born—uniting intuitive matchmaking with psychology-driven relationship expertise to better serve relationship-ready singles across Phoenix and Scottsdale.

Marnie Zang Katularu, Founder of My Mindful Match, brings a deeply rooted clinical perspective to modern matchmaking as a licensed professional counselor with specialized training in the Gottman Method. With a background in marriage and family therapy, she integrates evidence-based relationship coaching with personalized matchmaking, helping clients break patterns, build confidence, and create lasting partnerships.

Karen has been a trusted name in professional matchmaking since 2007, working with nationally recognized matchmaking services and specializing in connecting successful, like-minded singles who are serious about a long-term relationship or marriage. Her approach is rooted in intentional, one-on-one vetting and curated introductions, eliminating the uncertainty and fatigue of dating apps. She believes meaningful connection has been diluted in the modern dating world—and is committed to restoring it through personalized matchmaking designed for discerning professionals seeking something real.

Together, we form a high-touch, psychology-informed matchmaking service—offering personalized matchmaking, relationship coaching, and curated introductions for accomplished, relationship-ready singles seeking meaningful, lasting connection.
