Meet the Matchmaker

Some people are good with cars. Others are incredible athletes. Ann Parnes is gifted in bringing people together and helping with relationships. It’s the area where her skills and passions overlap--it’s what she considers to be her “calling". Ann’s philosophy is that life is exponentially better when you have the right person to share it with. It brings her great satisfaction to be able to use her skills to help people with one of life’s greatest joys—a loving and healthy relationship.

Ann’s natural curiosity and ability to ask poignant questions enable her get to the root of who her clients are, as well as the kinds of people who might be a good match for them. She takes a sincere interest in getting to know each and every client so that she can conduct a targeted, personalized search for their ideal partner.

As a co-founder and professional life coach at Pivotal Perspectives Coaching, Ann spent years working with successful clients to create change and reach personal goals in various aspects of their lives. She found that her true knack however, was in the area of relationship coaching -- whether it was helping clients navigate the ups and downs of various stages in their relationships, or offering support and encouragement when it was in their best interests to walk away.

What she also found was that many of her amazing clients were single and looking for love, mostly in all the wrong places. Frustrated with the quality of people who they were meeting online, as well as the time and effort they felt they had wasted, many of these extraordinary people were ready to give up on finding the kind of partner they so badly wanted. Ann couldn’t sit back and let that happen when she felt there was something she could do about it.

Ann did not always work in the magical realm of love and relationships. Before becoming a coach in 2012, she was an attorney for nearly 14 years. In fact, she spent 7 of those years working as a prosecutor in the Juvenile Division of the Jefferson Parish District Attorney's Office, where most of what she saw on a daily basis was quite heartbreaking. While it may sound odd, many of the skills she honed at the DA’s office have helped her immensely in her role as a relationship coach and matchmaker. Her courtroom experience helped develop her intuition and sharpened her ability to assess people's sincerity and credibility. She is also quite skilled at asking questions, but don’t worry, Ann would never cross examine her clients. At Match Made in NOLA, clients can take comfort knowing that each potential match has personally been vetted by Ann.
