Meet Tennesha
Hello Loves, nice to meet you!
The question I get most is “so what does a dating coach do anyway?” I act as a strategist, cheerleader, and teacher to help clients understand the roadblocks that have gotten in the way of attracting the loving relationships they desire and show them how to present their authentic selves and connect deeply with potential partners. My most treasured moments are seeing clients recognize and conquer limiting dating patterns and open their hearts to healthy loving partnerships.

I know the frustrations of online dating first hand. I’ve had my share of bad dates that left me with some wasted nights and enough funny stories to start a podcast! Going on over 100 online dates has also left me with the knowledge of how to display the real you online while attracting matches that you actually want to meet and connect with deeply.

I met my boyfriend through mutual friends and to be honest, I was not seeking a relationship, but I knew myself and my worth and I was confident that the right man would also see it immediately. Within two weeks, he flew to Minnesota to meet my family and within three weeks we were “official.” By the following month we moved in together. We held nothing back and talked about the lives and the future we wanted together. He is the loving, protective partner I’ve always desired and I couldn’t be happier that we found each other.
Client Feedback
“She was spot on with the type of man I am attracted to”
This was fun! I loved the process interacting with Tennesha. She was spot on with the type of man I am attracted to generally. I like that she will be able to take both parties’ feedback to determine if it’s a good fit. Having Tennesha mediate removes the pressure of having to read my date’s signals and saves me from the time of wondering “does he like me?"
“Her focus is on quality matches vs just volume”
"Tennesha took the time to learn about my past relationships, understand me as a person and tease out what I'm looking for in a relationship in order to figure out who would be a good match for me. You can tell that her focus is on quality matches vs just volume. She graciously made the introductions, figured out the logistics and laid out a smooth path to making good connections - in addition to all this, she sent me cheery hype texts on the day off as well as following the date to help me figure out what is and isn't for me. All in all, an excellent experience - she saved me from hours of online swiping and texting that might not lead to IRL meetings- and introduced me to someone who checked many of my boxes. I've already recommended Tennesha to many of my friends :)"

“I will probably never go on a dating app again!”
I really feel like Tennesha listened to my feedback and what’s important to me. It really reflected in my match. I was nervous about it at first but it’s really refreshing to automatically be paired with someone who meets my criteria and values and I will probably never go on a dating app again!
“He was really cool and made he made me feel very comfortable”
I see why we are a potential match. Our conversation flowed really well. If not romantic, I could see us being friends. He was really cool and made he made me feel very comfortable. Tennesha is very attentive and creates an environment that allows me to be honest.
“She has an energy about her that quickly makes you comfortable and put your guard down, so that you can authentically be yourself”
It was such a pleasure to work with Tennesha! She has an energy about her that quickly makes you comfortable and put your guard down, so that you can authentically be yourself. Tennesha asks great questions. With just a half hour conversation she was able to help me with my online profile. When I first read the description she wrote, I was really wowed. I get many comments from women that they really love my profile!
“With Tennesha’s magic touch, my generic responses were transformed into witty and captivating statements”
Tennesha asked if she could see my online profile. In less than 30 seconds she said, “we need to change this”. I handed over my phone and she went to work. After a few probing questions and a little bit of Tennesha’s magic touch, my generic responses were transformed into witty and captivating statements. There was a definite increase in the number of matches, and the quality of every match was off the charts!
“Tennesha was very straight forward, honest, and easy to be open and honest with”
I was initially nervous about the whole situation to be honest. My match was very close to what I specifically described when speaking with the matchmaker. [My match] was very down to earth and fun to be around without being awkward when we arrived on our first date. With that said, Tennesha was very straight forward, honest, and easy to be open and honest with.
“Tennesha has been fantastic to work with from day one”
Tennesha has been fantastic to work with from day one. She is easy to get a hold of and has given me some great suggestions and advice thus far in this process. As far as my match is concerned, I am very happy and think she'll make a great potential partner. I'm optimistic and look forward to continuing to get to know her.
“I really enjoyed working with Tennesha”
I really enjoyed working with Tennesha and would gladly go on another date with another one of her clients. Unfortunately, I don't think this date (was a good match for me, even though he seems like a great guy. He has a lot of wonderful qualities and is very close to what I'm looking for. I didn't feel physically attracted to him. I'm open to and would be appreciate being set up with other clients in the future though!
“I was pleasantly surprised”
I enjoyed the date; I was pleasantly surprised, and looking forward to seeing him in person and am feeling even more confident in what I ultimately want!
“My matches were with women I would have never had chance to meet on my own.”
My matches were with women I would have never had chance to meet on my own - far better than dating app or IRL. Tennesha is tenacious, but also patient with me as member and in pursuing matches in unconventional ways.
“He's thoughtful and a good communicator”
I'm pretty happy with my match. He's thoughtful and a good communicator, we had both serious and light hearted conversations. I enjoyed the date, although I'm not sure the spot was great for a first date because the location can be difficult to find. Luckily I'd been to the location before hand and was able to talk him through directions. The matchmaker was good; she made sure we had all the deets and even reached out right before the date.
“My match was easy to chat with, engaging, and handsome”
I had a WONDERFUL time. Tennesha picked a great activity that left room for conversation but also not too formal/rigid. [My match] was easy to chat with, engaging, and handsome.
“You must be ready to be vulnerable, open and honest to the greatest extent”
He’s a really good match for me...or we’re a good match for each other. But only time will tell if we’re a good long term match. I appreciate Tennesha’s quick follow ups, the thoroughness of the process & planning the 1st date. As a busy professional it is nice to have all of those details outsourced! Partnering with Tennesha as a matchmaker is a luxury investment in yourself that I wish everyone could experience! The entire process is put together in a strategic way which will yield the best possible outcome starting with the intake questions. You must be ready to be vulnerable, open and honest to the greatest extent! I left the rest to faith in the beautiful process Tennesha has created. Being me + having faith worked b/c we’re headed to date #3 and in conversation about when/where to meet in person!
“Her patience and ability to withhold judgement made it easier to figure myself out”
Although I felt confident that [my match] was not a compatible match for me, I'm glad I met him and learned more about myself and my desires in the process. It was helpful to be able to talk with Tennesha a few times. Her patience and ability to withhold judgement made it easier to figure myself out and not feel ashamed of what I was feeling and learning. Tennesha was able to name things that were hard for me to say and asked questions that supported me in expressing more clearly my hopes and fears.
“Everything was super natural from setup to date and conversation.”
Although I wasn’t initially attracted when we were matched with pictures, I was open to that experience and we ended up having a great virtual date. Everything was super natural from setup to date and conversation. Although, I still wasn’t attracted virtually I thought it was interesting we were so well matched that we only played the icebreaker game because I wanted to not because we needed to. The conversation and evening carried itself!
“I feel that The Broom List certainly has my best interest in mind.”
I have enjoyed my experience thus far. I think Tennesha is great as a matchmaker in that she listens to my thoughts and when she feels I am being a little foolish she will laugh and call me out which I appreciate. The process, while a little longer than I expected, has still been good and I feel that The Broom List certainly has my best interest in mind. I feel I will learn a lot about myself through this process. My match pretty much, based on the first date, is someone I could see myself with in that personality and characteristic wise we mesh very well. I think the attraction would have to grow...would of been great if it was all there at once! Lol.
“Coaching with Tennesha has been a game changer ”
Coaching with Tennesha has been a game changer for me, as it has helped me develop the personal insights into myself and the confidence I need to date again after over a decade off the market. Thanks to Tennesha’s coaching over the last year, I feel like I’m on second base with a chance to score on another base hit. Without her, I’d still be in the dugout waiting for my turn at bat.
