I am Your Holistic Relationship Success Strategist

Gabriele Strasky Wahre Liebe Jetzt Partnervermittlerin Partnercoach

Hi, I’m Gabriele Strasky.

I help singles and couples to become their own relationship designer through a holistic transformation. 

You’ve got it inside you.
I help you shape it the way you want it.

As an educator and guide I can help you to becoming your own relationship designer so you can lead a successful relationship.

I’m here to help you find you strategy to a long-term, harmonious relationship – and, just as importantly, to help you become the conscious creator of your own love life.

After starting in international matchmaking more than 25 years ago, I discovered something essential: 

Singles are far more successful when they learn HOW to find the right partner themselves than when they simply rely on a matchmaking service.

When people come to me unprepared, they often repeat the same painful patterns on dating platforms or even within matchmaking services – only faster and with more people. My work today is about breaking this cycle.

My main work is not to match singles up.
My main work is to help singles become their own relationship designer by combining relationship mentoring, using my professional matchmaking background, and mostly holistic energetic work so they can find and keep a truly compatible partner.

* Merriam-Webster defines “holistic” this way, “relating to or concerned with complete systems rather than with individual parts” 

From professional matchmaker to holistic transformation & relationship guide

My journey began in 2001 in Hollywood, CA, when I stepped into the world of an international matchmaking service. At first, I only helped with photos for members, but very quickly this led to deeper conversations. While I had not originally planned this career move, matchmaking became second nature to me, and over the years it grew into being a Dating & Relationship Success Strategist, Speaker, and Author.

Working closely with thousands of singles and couples, I noticed clear patterns:

  • Many people didn’t really know what they wanted in a partner. 
  • Old emotional wounds and unexamined beliefs kept leading them to the wrong matches. 
  • Without guidance, most repeated the same mistakes again and again.

As soon as I started sharing my knowledge instead of just introducing people, their success changed dramatically. When I showed them how to choose, how to communicate, and how to stay true to their own needs and values, many found true love within days or weeks after working with me – either right where they lived or through new social contacts they created as a result.

This led me naturally from “I find someone for you” to “I show you how to find, choose, and keep the right partner yourself.”

Today I work as a Holistic Transformation & Relationship Guide and a Dating & Relationship Success Strategist combining my matchmaking experience with energetic and emotional work. I support singles recognizing emotional and relationship patterns, and cultivating physical and energetic balance – so that healthy, fulfilling relationships can become your new normal.

Why becoming your own relationship designer changes everything

Over the years, I realized that matchmaking is not as successful as we would like it to be. Partly, it is a numbers game.

Mostly, however, the matchmaker only acts as a loudspeaker for a client. If a client has misconceptions about any aspect of dating or relationships, those misconceptions will be amplified through matchmaking and you won’t find the right partner.

For this reason, I began exploring my clients’ dreams and hopes in much greater detail, which led to significantly better results. Matchmaking itself became secondary to teaching people how to find the right partner on their own.

As soon as I implemented this holistic approach, my clients began finding partners on their own, most of them in the area where they live.

Over the years, I realized that my clients are most successful when they:

  • Understand their own patterns in love and marital relationships
  • Strengthen their goals and clarity about the relationship they truly want
  • Learn to recognize red flags and true compatibility
  • Know how and where to meet people in a way that fits their personality
  • Communicate their expectations clearly and kindly

That’s why my goal is not to make you dependent on a matchmaking service. 

My goal is to help you become your own relationship designer, to make it easy to find your partner on your own.

This means you learn to:

  • Set a clear relationship goal 
  • Align your emotions, thoughts and actions with this goal 
  • Trust your inner guidance instead of confusion or fear 
  • Make conscious, confident decisions in your love life 

To support you with this, I created a 9step roadmap that shows you concrete steps to move from where you are now to a loving, stable, and lasting relationship with The One. You can access this roadmap for free and start implementing it at your own pace.

Support for singles: Find the right partner – without endless trial and error

If you are single, I help you:

  • Understand why past relationships or dates didn’t work 
  • Identify what you truly need and want in a partner 
  • Release energetic and emotional blocks that keep bringing you the wrong matches 
  • Strengthen your self-worth so you no longer settle for less 
  • Learn how to meet and recognize partners who are genuinely compatible 

Instead of jumping from date to date and repeating the same story, you get a clear inner compass. You learn how to choose – and how to be chosen – in a way that honors who you really are.

Support for couples: From “wrong choice” to a new beginning

Sometimes trouble in a marriage or relationship seems to come from having chosen “the wrong partner.” 

Often, however, the real issue lies in:

  • Expectations that were never clearly communicated 
  • Needs that were misunderstood or ignored 
  • Old patterns from the past that now collide in daily life 

The good news: this can be changed.

When you become your own relationship designer inside your existing relationship, you start to:

  • Clarify what you truly expect and need from a relationship 
  • Communicate these expectations clearly, kindly, and effectively 
  • Understand your partner’s perspective and needs much better 
  • Create a new, shared vision for your relationship 

In this way, many issues that looked like “we’re not a match” can transform into a deeper understanding and a stronger, more loving marriage. A great future together can still lie ahead of you.

My path so far

In 2001, I began working in international matchmaking in Hollywood, CA. 

In 2006, I started giving seminars in 9 European countries, teaching singles and couples about love, dating, and relationships. 

In 2016, I founded my own matchmaking service in Vienna, Austria, where I focused more and more on sharing the knowledge and inner work that truly lead to lasting relationships. 

In 2026, I added a license as a holistic practitioner to my portfolio, as this is the kind of work that makes my clients successful in so many ways. 

Working internationally with clients on four continents, it has become clear that passing on my experience and knowledge as a matchmaker is what serves them best. 

Traditional matchmaking itself has become far less effective and does not address the real reasons why people remain single or feel unable to find “The One” for them.

Over the past two decades, I have supported international clients in finding and keeping their ideal partner – primarily through education, sharing my matchmaking experience, and energetic work

My own happy ending. We got married.

A bit more about my love life

Am I married, you ask?

Yes.

I’ve been in a very stable and happy relationship since 2013, and we got married in 2020.

I live in Vienna, Austria, where I was born and raised, and I work with clients internationally via the internet – through 1‑on‑1 sessions, online courses, and group programs.

In early 2013, I decided to apply everything I knew about matchmaking to myself. I had been through some difficult relationships and some better ones, but I had not yet found “Mr. Right.”

Teaching others how to find the right partner while not having found mine yet didn’t feel like the best example of my own work. So I made a clear decision to do what I “preach” and follow my own process step by step.

Within three weeks, I met him. Two weeks later, we started our relationship – and we are still going strong today.

Yes, it can be done. And I would love to show you how.

Over the past two decades, I have supported international clients in finding and keeping their ideal partner – primarily through education, sharing my matchmaking experience, and energetic work.
