Hi, I’m Sophie, the founder of Tide & True.

I started Tide & True because I could see how many people were craving real connection but getting lost in the noise of apps and small talk. After years in recruitment, including working with high profile clients, I learned that true compatibility is about how people communicate and feel together, not just what looks good on paper.

I also worked for a match making company in Australia and it showed me how powerful face to face connection can be when the environment feels relaxed and intentional. That experience shaped a lot of what Tide & True offers today.

My background in education and mental health support means I understand how overwhelming modern dating can be. Tide & True is designed to be the opposite of that. It is a space where people can take a breath, feel heard and meet others who value honesty and emotional awareness.

If you want something more thoughtful, whether it becomes a long term relationship or simply a meaningful connection, this is exactly what Tide & True is here for.

 

 

 

  About tide and true

 

Tide and True is a boutique one-to-one matchmaking service based in Cornwall and Southwest that focuses on emotional connection rather than swiping or algorithms. I get to know each person personally and match them with intention, based on values, lifestyle and deeper compatibility. I also create calm, mindful spaces for in-person connection, starting with small curated events in December.

 

 

Seeking meaningful connections?

 

I offer highly personalised, one to one matchmaking with a slow, thoughtful approach- not an app or algorithm. If you are seeking a meaningful, emotionally deep connection — those who value kindness, self-awareness, and compatibility over casual dating or surface-level matches, then Tide and True is for you.
