Eimear Draper Dating Expert Dating Coach at Kindling Dating Coaching

About Me

When I say that Kindling was born out of personal experience, I really mean it. I was on some of the first online dating sites such as My Single Friend and eHarmony, back before it was seen as normal or cool. I’ve tried speed dating, singles nights, friends arranging set ups and ten years later when they came along dating apps. 


I was doing all the dating, but didn’t realise that I had many barriers up, but, I was ok; “I was focused on my career”. Until the penny dropped that I was actually lonely. So I worked on breaking down the barriers, being honest and vulnerable and broke out of the negative cycle I was in.  


I honestly believe that with the right mindset love can be found. And so I want to help people to build self awareness, self esteem and resilience to bring love into their lives. 

  

I’m on a mission of ending loneliness two people at a time.

About Kindling Dating

Help with Online Dating

Born out of personal experience

We’ve found that whilst in theory it is easier to find someone with all the online dating sites and apps we have now, it is in reality harder to find genuine connections. It is easy to get demotivated, lose trust, allow our self esteem to be knocked, and unknowingly build defences around ourselves to protect from hurt. Having been there I know how it feels… and so the idea for Kindling Dating was sparked.

Find Your Match Dating Advice

Rethinking dating to meet your needs

Rather than focus on looking for someone, or what dating site or app to use, we focus on you. Building your self awareness, self esteem and resilience to bring love into your life. 

We believe that with the right mindset love can be found.

Kindling Dating Coaching Foundations

Foundations

Whilst on a coaching course, as an exercise in self belief, Sam and I both broke a piece of wood with our hands. 

After the course I shared this picture with my friend and she said what's your business idea selling fire kindling? And I thought actually that's exactly what I'm going to do!  


The name Kindling was born… its the next stage after Tinder which ignites the fire, Kindling builds the foundations for a good fire.
