Marnie Zang Katularu, LPC Founder, CEO, Certified Matchmaker, Dating Coach, and Relationship Expert
Welcome! I’m Marnie Zang Katularu, the Founder and CEO of My Mindful Match, a bespoke matchmaking and dating service dedicated to transforming the way people find and nurture lasting relationships. With a strong background in marriage and family therapy and years of experience as a licensed professional counselor, I bring both clinical expertise and heartfelt passion to the art and science of matchmaking.
Before founding My Mindful Match, I spent years helping couples and individuals as a therapist, with specialized training in the Gottman Method—one of the most trusted, research-backed approaches to building healthy and lasting partnerships. Over time, I saw a profound need for a service that goes beyond traditional dating apps and quick connections—something rooted in psychology, integrity, and human connection. That’s where My Mindful Match was born.
As a matchmaker, I combine evidence-based strategies with a personalized, human touch. My process isn’t just about making introductions—it’s about helping clients recognize and shift old patterns, date with confidence, and create space for a truly fulfilling relationship. I am especially passionate about working with singles in their 40s, 50s, and 60s who are ready for something real and lasting, but may feel hesitant or overwhelmed by the modern dating world.
On a personal note, I’ve been happily married for over a decade, and I deeply understand both the challenges and rewards of building a strong, loving partnership. I’m also a proud mom of three adult children and a Bubbie, which keeps my life full of joy, love, and perspective.
At My Mindful Match, I don’t just introduce people—I walk alongside them through the journey, offering expert guidance, coaching, and support every step of the way. My mission is simple yet powerful: to help you discover the kind of relationship that not only lasts, but thrives.

With a remarkable track record in the healthcare industry, Tiana made a significant impact by founding Sage Hospice in 2013 and rapidly transforming it into the largest For-Profit Hospice in the State within just five years. The success of Sage was a testament to Tiana’s unwavering dedication to providing unparalleled levels of compassion, comprehensive care, and personalized attention to every individual under their care. In 2018, she orchestrated a pivotal deal with a prominent private equity firm, expanding the Sage Family of Companies to encompass Hospice, Palliative Care, and Medicine services across four states.
