Samantha is THE expert in rescuing professional singles looking for love. Blue Label Life boasts an incredible 92% success rate in establishing long-term relationships and/or marriage.

The concept came to Samantha after qualifying as a Master Trainer with the Matchmaking Institute in New York. After conducting research and one-on-one interviews with professional singles in Sydney, Melbourne and Canberra, Samantha soon discovered what was missing in the Australian dating industry – an introduction agency for high achieving professional singles.

Samantha discovered her natural flare for matchmaking at a young age. As an exercise science consultant, she developed a knack for pairing a number of friends and colleagues with each other. This ultimately motivated her to establish her own matchmaking boutique, which quickly turned into the benchmark for Australian introduction agencies.

Samantha brings a fresh, honest approach to the dating world.  She offers the following advice to all Australian singles;

“When it comes to love; be open, positive, and most of all, expect the unexpected.”
