Wingwoman Services: How My Professional Wingwoman Went from Essence Feature to Real-Life Success

A while back, one of my amazing wingwomen (Nafeesa) was featured in Essence magazine in an article titled, "A Professional Wingwoman On How To Hook Up Your Girlfriends". She was an independent contractor for me at the time, and her feature was just the tip of the iceberg of what we’ve been able to accomplish together.

What makes this story even more special is that she was taken out on a date as part of an interview for the dating website HowAboutWe.com, which at the time was making waves in the online dating space. Fast forward, and HowAboutWe has since been acquired by media giant IAC —yet, my wingwoman services are still here, helping people connect, socialize, and build confidence, whether you’re navigating the dating world or simply trying to get more comfortable at events.

Why Work with a Wingwoman?

If you’ve never thought about hiring a professional wingwoman, let me break it down for you. My clients—both women and men—come to me for real-world support in socializing and dating. A wingwoman isn’t just about introductions (though, yes, I’ll help with that). It’s about easing social anxiety, helping you engage naturally in social settings, and boosting your confidence when you feel like you’re out of your element.

Some benefits include:

  • Confidence-building in real-time: You get to see how a wingwoman navigates conversations, breaks the ice, and handles tricky social situations. You’ll pick up on techniques that work for you.

  • Real feedback: I’m not here to coddle you—I’m here to provide honest, personalized guidance that can help you make genuine connections.

  • No competition: Bringing a wingwoman means you get the support and encouragement you need without the pressure or competition that might come with friends.

  • Boosting social comfort: Whether it’s a happy hour, a networking event, or simply attending an event solo, my wingwoman service is designed to make you feel at ease, allowing you to focus on enjoying the moment.

Available on the East Coast and Beyond

I’m based on the East Coast, but I’m available to travel if you need that extra boost for a big event or new city! If you’re tired of feeling stuck in the same social patterns, or you just want some solid guidance on how to navigate dating or socializing with more ease, I’m here to help. Whether you’re a woman or a man looking to break out of your comfort zone, my wingwoman services are tailored to your needs.

Reach out today to schedule an appointment and see how we can work together to make your social interactions smoother, more confident, and—most importantly—authentic.

Let’s make every social moment count.
