Why We Were Founded
Queer Conscious Connections was founded with a simple goal: to create a safe space for singles to feel less alone, more empowered, and more self-aware as they navigate their unique dating journey.
Dating, especially within the LGBTQIA+ community, can be a vulnerable and deeply personal experience. There are few life decisions as impactful on our future - the available data suggests that not only does the right partner increase our mental, emotional, and financial well-being, being with the wrong partner can cause us harm and waste years of our life.
At Queer Conscious Connections, we specialize in LGBTQIA+ matchmaking and queer date coaching, offering support every step of the way. Together, we’ll make intentional choices that lead to meaningful, fulfilling connections.
Elise Braunschweiger
Founder & CEO of Queer Conscious Connections
My professional background as an LGBTQIA+ matchmaker and date coach, combined with my personal experiences within the queer dating world, inspired me to establish Queer Conscious Connections.
Whether you're navigating the complexities of finding your forever person, seeking queer matchmaking services to find intentional and meaningful connections, or looking for expert date coaching within the LGBTQIA+ community, I'm here to help. I've worked with a diverse range of individuals across the LGBTQIA+ spectrum, providing guidance and support to those who are single, seeking companionship, and eager to make positive changes in their dating lives.
My goal is to help anyone, regardless of their sexual orientation, gender identity, or relationship status, achieve a more enriching and satisfying love life and, hopefully, enjoy the journey along the way.
There are so few services founded by and made for the LGBTQIA+ community. I hope QCC is one step towards changing that.
