About Marriage & Relationship Counseling
Why I Do This
I've spent 34 years helping couples who feel like they’re on the edge. Over 2,000 marriages saved – that’s what keeps me going. It's not about avoiding fights, it’s about learning to fight together, not against each other. When people ask, “Kya secret hai?” (What’s the secret?), I say, there’s no magic trick - just real, honest principles.
Real Principles I Stand By
- Friendship matters most. Romance fades, dosti (friendship) sticks.
- Your partner should always come before ego. Ego will only mess things up.
- Looks aren’t forever. What lasts is your partner’s ada (grace/style) and how you feel around them.
- If only one person’s needs matter, that’s not a partnership. Both have to care.
- Be yourself. A healthy relationship lets you be who you are, quirks and all.
How I Help
I work with couples at any stage. If you’re already married, I offer post-marital relationship support to help rebuild connection and trust. For those about to get married, my pre-marital counseling for Indian families is all about preparing you for the real journey ahead. We dig deep into insecurities and old wounds – not easy, but necessary.
Family Matters Too
Shaadi (marriage) in our culture is about family integration in marriage counseling. I chat with parents, help everyone get on the same page. It makes a huge difference in keeping the bond strong.
My Approach
What I do mixes modern psychology and old-school wisdom, shaped by decades of experience and a PhD. I started in 1991, so I’ve seen almost everything couples go through. This work isn’t just my career, it’s my keeda (calling).

My Story
Namaste, I’m Priya Shah. People call me The Matchmaker, but really, I’m just someone who got a keeda (itch) after my own shaadi. Grew up Gujarati Jain, did the whole arranged marriage at 18 thing—lucky it worked out for me! But I saw my friends struggle, so I started helping. What began as a favor in ’91 turned into 12,000+ matches. I still get the same joy seeing couples I helped, even after all these years.
My Work
Elite matchmaking, counseling, and exclusive get-togethers - I offer elite matchmaking for NRIs, personalized marriage counseling, and host private matrimonial get-togethers.
‘Arranged-Love Marriage’ approach - You get to meet plenty of profiles, practical and modern—choose who clicks with you, not just what parents say.
Families matter - I always meet both families—sometimes even dadi-nani (grandmas)!—because it’s about everyone coming together.
Niche, educated crowd - Most of my clients are doctors, MBAs, business folks—India and abroad. Trust and understanding, that’s my thing.
Confidential and no dowry - Confidential high-profile matchmaking only. I do deep checks, never support dowry—compatibility and respect come first.
