Testimonials

Hi Kristin, I just stumbled across my notes from the dating retreat in 2019 that was held at Little America.

As part of the workshop, you asked us some really specific questions and took us through a visioning exercise that helped me see things I had been missing and think more intentionally about the future I wanted to create.

I’m happy to report that my husband fits the description I created so many years ago AND that the type of life I wanted to live has also come true!

Thanks for your guidance and coaching. I’m so grateful for the seeds you planted in my heart and mind many years ago.

Jessica, 53

When I hired Kristin in February, I was a 57-year-old woman who had just gone through a divorce after 33 years of marriage. The idea of dating again was overwhelming, and I had no idea where to begin.

Working with her completely changed my experience. She gave me practical advice, honest feedback, and, most importantly, the confidence to navigate modern dating in a way that felt authentic to me. She helped me refine my profile, understand the dating process, and approach each interaction with a healthier mindset.

Just a few months later, I'm in a committed relationship with a wonderful man. While it's still a new relationship and only time will tell where it ultimately leads, I already consider this a tremendous success. I truly don't believe I would be where I am today without her guidance and encouragement.

If you're feeling intimidated by dating after a long marriage or wondering if it's even possible to find someone again, I can honestly say that investing in her coaching was one of the best decisions I made. She helped me believe that a new chapter was possible—and I'm now living it.

Coming out of the pandemic, I had just turned 30 and was reeling from a painful rejection by a guy I’d had my heart set on. I’d worked up the courage to ask him out—something I rarely did—and he gently turned me down, saying he just couldn’t see it as a good thing. It wasn’t cruel, but it crushed me.
That moment felt like confirmation of my worst fear: that I wasn’t good enough for a relationship and no one would ever want to date me. At 30, I’d only been on five first dates—and all of them were ones I either initiated or got set up for, I had never been asked out on a date. I thought I was doing everything right, but it just wasn’t working and felt impossible.
Then a friend invited me to a singles event featuring a dating coach. I was skeptical. After all, hadn’t I already heard everything I needed to know about dating from church leaders and my parents? But I went and that night changed everything.
Enter Kristin Sokol who is warm, insightful, and refreshingly real. She spoke about dating with strategy, confidence, and know-how about dating in today’s world. She didn’t see me as too picky, too reserved, or too intimidating. She saw potential.
Working with Kristin flipped the script I had of myself. I stopped seeing myself as a victim of modern dating and started showing up with confidence, clarity, and purpose. I wasn’t “too intimidating” or “too smart” but real a catch learning how to be seen as a potential girlfriend.
Kristin didn’t indulge my excuses but gave me truth, truth that no one else would give me about how dating is a real skill that can be learned. She coached me to become the hero of my own dating story, challenging every limiting belief I had about myself and relationships.
So, what happened after I completed her program?
I started dating. I began dating guys I met on apps and in real life like the cute guys in grocery store lines and Sunday School classes. I went from anxious and invisible to confident, flirty, and magnetic. I began to attract attention, not just romantically, but socially and professionally. People invited me to fun events because they saw I was fun. I made new friends and then became friends with their friends. And I walked into the interview for my dream job and nailed it with charm and ease. I honestly know that none of these amazing experiences would’ve happened if I had never worked with Kristin.
Most importantly, I began to believe, deep down, that I am going to find my person. No more fear, just pure confidence and excitement.
If you're someone who thinks love is for everyone else… If you've been told you’re “too this” or “not enough that”, or if you’ve settled into a lonely routine of work, home, and TV and quietly wondered if this is all life has for you, please hear me: it’s not.
Kristin is the dating coach we all need. She’ll teach you the skills you were never taught. Because while we’re all born knowing how to love, no one is born knowing how to date, especially how to date in today’s modern world.
I highly and emphatically recommend working with Kristin because she sees the real and totally amazing you, and she helps the rest of the world see it too. So don’t wait. Your person is out there looking for you. Get the knowledge, the skills, and the confidence to help them recognize you when they cross your path.
Sincerely and with all gratitude,

Jennifer R, 33

Who knew there's research and science behind healthy dating relationships?!

I called Kristin to help me because I was asked on a date a year after my divorce. Dating was scary and I was adamant I didn’t want a boyfriend. But I was curious about casually going on dates.

Kristin was so great with me. She helped me realize that there was a lot of possibilities out there. She helped me evaluate myself and see what I could bring and what I thought was important in a partner.

She lovingly challenged some of my beliefs about relationships and helped me recover from past experiences without putting old baggage on new partners. That was exactly what I needed to open my heart to be willing to try at a relationship again.

I now have an amazing boyfriend who absolutely adores me! I never had any hope that this was in the cards for me, but here I am!

I hope to remember what she taught me about dating to build something healthy when I need it again. I am also relieved that I can always make an appointment for more coaching sessions if I need advice again! Thank you Kristin, I appreciate you!

I got married!!!

It is true! I’m getting married in July. I think the best advice you gave me is there is no magic. When it is suppose to happen it will happen. In my case that is what happened. We did meet online. I was the one that messaged him. He then called me. It happened when it was supposed to. We have been married for six months now. We are both so happy! Thank you for your help.

NEVER too late — I got married!

In January of 2019, I participated in a singles’ retreat with Kristin and another dating coach. It was pretty intense with a lot of great information, and by the end of it, I felt empowered and excited to get out there and try everything out. Just a few weeks later I met an amazing man online, and was able to put the things I learned into practice. It must have worked, as we were married 6 months later. I couldn’t be happier!

I can’t believe it happened for me!

Most singles wonder: Is there a true love match for me out there or will I ever meet the person of my dreams?
Even though I had a lot of faith, I finally admitted to myself that maybe Prince Charming wasn’t going to walk into my life like I had always dreamed about, and that I should take some action! It was truly a divine intervention and a sign from above when a friend told me about Kristin. Her coaching had helped her meet the man of her dreams. They were not only married in a short amount of time but had a baby too! My hairs were standing on end and my interest was piqued because she was “older” like me! (When you’re getting close to forty or over forty and still want to meet the one AND have children, you can sometimes go into panic mode.) Hearing about Kristin was great, but I still figured, well, I don’t know about hiring someone to help me find someone online. A few months went by and I was prompted to make the call. So I did it. I called Kristin.
My success came through her steadfast coaching and unending faith that she will get you married, even when you don’t believe it yet. It really began to rub off on me and changed me for the better.
The focus on goals and how to meet them gave me weekly direction. And with her strength, support and talent, she truly helped me find my Ever After. I am forever grateful for this woman’s ability to direct thoughtful questions that truly made me think and helped me understand myself more deeply.
I was able to ask her questions to things that I had a hard time figuring out on my own. I began to learn who I really wanted for a spouse and what I deserved.
It was a powerful, spiritual, emotional, and so very rewarding experience. After only 3 months, I began talking to ‘The One’. Met him online and yes, he was out of state so, had I not done this online thing, we wouldn’t have met!
Four months later we are now engaged to be married. All I can say is Wow! Dreams do come true! Thank you Kristin for who you are, your amazing intellect, sweet spirit, and unending devotion to your work. You are such a beautiful being, inside and out! This is truly your calling and Trent and I will be forever grateful for you!

Getting married this summer to a wonderful man

I’m getting married to a wonderful man this summer. He loves me unconditionally! I finally feel a secure attachment. Kristin asks thought-provoking questions, has a contagious yet grounded enthusiasm about possibilities, and encourages productive action–all while allowing you to be in the driver’s seat. She has a remarkable ability to understand the nuanced, simplify the complicated, observe subtle connections, and offer clarity. She is an utterly delightful and refreshingly practical professional. Whether it’s 5 minutes or an hour, you’ll always be glad you consulted with Kristin.

In a real, committed relationship!!!

I highly recommend Kristin Sokol as a dating coach. My experience with her has been nothing but positive. Before I met her I was quite lost on how to navigate and approach dating in general. I went on so many first dates but nothing ever came of them. At the end of the night I would feel confused and defeated. I wondered how anyone could ever find someone they wanted to marry and have that person feel the same way. Many people are exhausted with the dating scene, I know I was! But Kristin makes it easy. She has given me confidence that there is someone out there for me. She is a great and attentive listener and has a grounded energy, which always puts me at ease. With her help I have learned how to date and that its actually pretty fun. I’ve been dating a wonderful guy for over 7 months! If you would like insight into dating and relationships Kristin is your person!

Kristin is a chameleon coach

Kristin is a chameleon coach. Let me tell you how. Like a chameleon she can rotate her eyes independently, keeping one eye on your current emotional state and the other on where you’re trying to go. This allows her to coach you according to your needs of the moment without sacrificing your larger goals or ideals. With her prehensile tale she can grasp any situation no matter how foreign to herself and still be able to pull truths and insights from the conversation. With her chameleon-like, long, extensible tongue she’s been able to talk me out of my firmly held, harmful thoughts. My favorite ability by far is her ability to change colors. She’ll listen to me and help me work through problems in the way that makes most sense to me instead of trying to fit my problems into a one-size-fits-all solution. 10 out of 10, best chameleon coach!

Helped me get the skills I needed to change

I first met Kristen when she spoke in our church women’s group. What she said resonated with me and got me thinking about my life. I had a good life and hadn’t thought that I needed to change much. I realized that I wasn’t stearing my life the way I wanted it to go, I was just living life letting life go on every day. The things I learned from her helped me take back my life. My brother recently asked my mom what was going on with me. He said I was like a whole new person. I really feel that Kristin helped me find a new purpose and helped me get the skills I needed to change.

Staying Focused On The End Game

Before I started my relationship coach journey with Kristin I had a negative mindset on dating. I’d been single for a year, recovering from a difficult break up. When I started looking online I got more discouraged than ever! It seemed like nothing but flakes and fakes, how was I ever going to find a decent man?

Right away from my first conversation with Kristin I felt bonded to her. Her bubbly personality shines through immediately, but more importantly the information she shared was so relevant and helpful I was filled with tears of joy. She shared so many valuable insights that I hadn’t thought of. I’m not young, I’ve been around the block a few times and I thought I knew a lot about relationships. Boy was I wrong. The perspective she provides made it possible for me to navigate the world of online dating and stay focused on the end game— which is getting what I want. She helped me recognize what I want, who I am, what I’m looking for, and gave me a realistic expectation of how to get there. I’m not there yet but more importantly I am confident, able to communicate more effectively my needs and desires, and feel like I now will be able to attract the man for me because of my self esteem and the growth I’ve achieved while working with her. I have recommended her to many people, and sadly they won’t take control of their choices and do what’s needed. If you’re reading this give her a call. Listen to her truth, her insight, and you’ll agree right away it’s worth more than she charges for the relationship you’ll build with her— and the person of your dreams someday soon!

Her methods work!

I have been lucky enough to work with Kristin as one of the photographers that shoots photos of her clients. Kristin works with the best women! I have enjoyed getting to know so many of them over the last 10 or so years. I have also had the privilege of learning a lot about Kristin’s process and the things she shares with her clients. Let me tell you, her methods work! These women make progress. It’s been fun to stay connected with her clients and be able to shoot weddings and baby showers for her clients.

Helps me feel comfortable to take challenges

I have learned so much from Kristin. She not only taught me how to swipe and talk to guys on dating apps but she has helped me build my confidence in talking to men in real life. She has given me techniques to improve navigating the dating apps and other ways to meet new people. She is easy to talk to, helps you feel comfortable but still gives you challenges that help you progress.

The change I needed

I’ve been working with Kristin for just under a year now, but I knew right away that our relationship would be a good one. My life started to change very quickly once I started working with her and I’m happy to say, I’m she has helped me completely change my life! Kristin has a way of if wrapping you in a warm hug with her words, you feel immediately at ease and as though you can trust her with anything. She has a way listening in a non-judgmental way but asks all the right questions to keep you digging deeper and looking for the answers that lead to immense growth.

I got the clarity I needed

I spent years focusing on what I don’t want in a relationship, which left me very discouraged. Kristin helped me get clarity on what I’m looking for and how to see those traits in others. It’s opened up my dating field and helped me be more happy and hopeful. She also helped me identify some of the key places I tend to fail in relationships and brainstorm strategies for future success. More than anything, Kristin is a delight and infuses conversations with positivity and insight.

Ready to take the chance!

Kristin’s course is a great experience to help anyone who is ready to take the chance to rethink dating in today’s world. I took time to think about what I really want now and later. The material we covered helped me to take steps in the direction of where I want to go. You just have to be willing to follow those steps. This program helps you understand your fears, boosted my confidence and helped me see possibilities if I was willing to try. I look forward to seeing what happens next with the tools I have learned. Kristin is amazing and I thank her for the helpful knowledge she thoughtfully provided.

It’s never too late to let go of old ways of thinking

I know Kristin cares because she allows me to look at myself and discover my strengths and weaknesses in a way that helps me focus on personal growth. I have learned from Kristin that it is never too late to let go of old ways of thinking and learn new more effective ways of being. She has also taught me skills for maintaining a full and happy life while creating opportunities for dating.
