In your corner, from first date to forever.
You don’t have a dating problem. You have a pattern.
For four months, I’m in your corner while we find that pattern, fix it, and get you dating toward the relationship you actually want. One-on-one coaching with me, by phone or video, built around your real dating life.
In Your Corner is dating and relationship coaching, not matchmaking. I don’t find your dates in this program. I help you handle the ones you’re having, and the relationship that comes after. If you’d rather I do the finding, that’s my matchmaking.
Dating doesn’t have to come naturally.
Most of my coaching clients are smart, successful people who are great at almost everything except this. Some have never really dated. Some are coming back after a divorce or a long relationship and the whole world changed while they were gone. Some are just tired.
Whichever one you are, you don’t need more dates. You need someone honest in your corner.
That’s what I’m here for.
Maybe you’re one of these.
New to dating
Nobody ever taught you how this works, and the apps feel like a language everyone else already speaks.
Back after a long time
A divorce, a long relationship, years focused on everything else. The rules changed, and maybe you did too.
Tired of it
Dates that fizzle, people who disappear, situationships you never signed up for.
Not great at it (yet)
Confident at work, easy with friends, and second-guessing every single text.
Picking the same person
Different name, same ending. You want to understand why, and choose differently.
Just met someone
It’s going well, which is exactly when the overthinking starts.
Not a bunch of minutes. A real plan.
Four months is enough time to change how you date, and short enough that we stay focused. Every program follows this path.
Clarity
What you actually want, what’s been going wrong, and your standards and dealbreakers. We find the pattern.
Dating with a plan
Messaging, first dates, pacing, and reading real interest. You start dating on purpose instead of hoping.
Going deeper
Second and third dates, red and green flags, and knowing when to lean in or step back.
Relationship decisions
Exclusivity, long-term fit, and how to keep going with confidence on your own.
Choose how close you want me.
All three are one-on-one coaching with me. The difference is how long I’m with you and how easy I am to reach between calls.

“I’m not going to tell you what you want to hear. I’m going to tell you what’s going to work.“
Whatever is actually happening.
Messaging
How you write, how you reply, and what your tone is really saying.

When to slow down, when to move forward, and how to stop things from fizzling.
Compatibility
Telling the difference between chemistry and someone who actually fits your life.
Red and green flags
Seeing them early, and trusting yourself when you do.
Boundaries and standards
Knowing what you want, saying it, and not settling for less.
Relationship moments
Exclusivity, meeting the people who matter, and your first real bumps together.
You get me. Every call.
I’m Rebecca Cooper Traynor, a Toronto matchmaker and dating coach and the founder of Match Me Canada. I hear what really happens on dates, from both sides of the table, and that’s what I bring to your coaching.
- Honest, not harsh. I’ll tell you what’s working, what isn’t, and what to do next.
- Your real life, not a script. We work on the actual people and situations in front of you.
- No assistant, no hand-off. Every call is with me.
- Anywhere you are. Coaching by phone and video for clients across Canada and the US.
And that’s okay.
- You want someone to find your dates. That’s matchmaking.
- You aren’t dating and aren’t ready to start. Let’s talk again when you are.
- You want quick fixes or copy-and-paste scripts. This is real work, and it works.
Good questions, honest answers.
Is this matchmaking?
No. In this program I don’t introduce you to anyone. I coach you through the dating you’re already doing, or getting ready to do. If you want introductions, that’s my matchmaking service.
I’m new to dating, or coming back after years. Is this for me?
Yes. A lot of my clients are either starting from scratch or returning after a divorce or a long relationship. Month 1 is all about getting clear and getting comfortable, so you won’t be thrown in the deep end.
How do the calls work?
Calls are one-on-one with me by phone or video, usually 20 to 45 minutes, scheduled during the week. You can book them when something comes up, or set a regular rhythm. Most people do a bit of both.
How do the texts and voice memos work?
In Your Corner Plus includes up to 8 texts or voice memos a month, and I reply within one business day, Monday to Friday. Relationship Ready includes up to 12 a month, with same-day replies on weekdays for messages sent before 3 pm. Voice memos can be up to 3 minutes. Unused messages don’t roll over. They’re for quick questions and gut checks; anything bigger, we book a call.
What if I meet someone partway through?
Good, that’s the point. Keep using your time. The early weeks of something new are when a second opinion is most valuable, and Relationship Ready is built for exactly that.
How long do I have to use my coaching time?
Your minutes are valid for the length of your program: four, six or nine months.
I’m not sure which program to choose.
Book a Next Steps Call. It’s 15 minutes and $25, and you’ll leave knowing which program fits where you are right now.
