Meet Linda

I thought I was broken at love.

After two failed marriages and countless disappointing dates, I found myself sitting in my car after yet another surface-level coffee meeting, wondering if deep connection was just a myth. The applications promised everything but delivered nothing that felt real. Match, small talk, ghost, repeat. I was exhausted by the performance of it all.

The Awakening: Recognising the Bigger Picture

That's when I realised the problem wasn't me—it was the entire system. Everywhere I looked, emotionally intelligent people who actually wanted to work on themselves were struggling with the same shallow dating culture. We were all seeking something deeper—someone who shared our values, understood emotional intelligence, and was genuinely ready for a meaningful partnership. But the tools available were designed for quick dopamine hits, not lasting love.

Finding My Own Path to Love

Through my own journey of self-discovery and emotional growth, I eventually found my perfect match—and yes, they do exist! I'm now happily married, but my path to love taught me invaluable lessons about compatibility, emotional intelligence, and what truly matters in a lasting partnership. The insights I gained through trial, error, and deep self-reflection became the foundation for everything Heartspace represents.

The Vision: What If Dating Could Feel Different?

Watching so many incredible people around me struggle with the same dating frustrations I once faced, I couldn't help but think: what if I could have used these hard-earned insights from the beginning? What if there was a way to help others skip the endless cycle of disappointment and connect with their perfect match more intentionally?

That question sparked Heartspace—not from a business idea, but from a deep knowing that love deserves better. I envisioned a space where your emotional depth is celebrated, not hidden. Where a 70-question onboarding isn't tedious, but exciting because it means you'll meet people who truly get you.

Creating the Tool I Wish I'd Had

Every feature we've built reflects the wisdom I gained on my own journey to finding lasting love. From compatibility graphs that go beyond surface preferences to gentle conversation closures that honour human dignity, we're creating the dating experience I wish I'd had during my single years. Our AI relationship expert, Ellie, provides the guidance I desperately needed during those lonely nights questioning my worth.

For Everyone Still Searching

Heartspace isn't just another dating app—it's a sanctuary for souls seeking their match. This is for everyone who's ever felt too deep, too sensitive, too real for the dating world as it exists. If you've been disappointed by endless scrolling and shallow connections, you've found your home.

Your perfect match is out there. I found mine, and I've built Heartspace to help you find yours with intention, authenticity, and the emotional intelligence that creates lasting love.
