Julia Bendis
matchmaker - relationship coach - author
Match by Julia was founded by Julia Bendis over twenty years ago. Julia is a third generation matchmaker, an author, relationship, dating and intimacy educator. She specializes in peer processing support groups and intimacy coaching. In 2020 Julia published a comedic book about her life in the former Soviet Union called ‘No Smiling Allowed: Growing up in Soviet Russia and other funny stories from a Jewish immigrant’. It’s available in print edition here or on Amazon Audible here
Julia was born in Ukraine and lived in Latvia with her family. They immigrated to California in 1989.
Julia truly believes that food, intimacy and human connections are the most important aspects of life and a big reason why she spends her life educating people about love, sex and how to date properly…
With each client, Julia gets to know them on a personal level, their needs, wants and desires for their future mate. After the initial meeting, Julia personally hand selects a potential match from her database, by meeting and recruiting new clientele, or through her large network of other matchmakers. When a potential client is not ready for dating, Julia focuses on coaching and guidance for their future.
When she isn’t working (which seems to be all the time) she is meddling into her sons' love lives, cooking for her loved ones and helping those in need. Julia’s passions have always been helping victims of human trafficking, victims of domestic violence and women’s rights.

REVIEWS
- Julia's matchmaking worked out better than I could have ever hoped. Her introduction brought me an amazing husband and a beautiful son! I still can't believe how well she seemed to know exactly what I was looking for (even if I didn't quite know myself). I'd recommend that anyone take the chance.
Gina R., Laguna Niguel, CA
Julia is passionate and dedicated about finding love for her clients. This is the first time I have used a professional matchmaker and didn't know what to expect. While always a professional, you feel as she though she is a loyal friend who is advocating for you. She has the perfect balance of being warm and supportive and pushes you to be the best version of yourself. She is very smart, perceptive, a great listener and always there when you need her. She is fair and helps you to see situations from all perspectives. I would highly recommend Julia.

- I used Julia's services about a year ago, it was a great experience and I'd recommend it to anyone who is really serious about finding a partner and a serious relationship. I dealt with Julia directly and never an assistant. She introduced me to a wonderful woman who I'm still with and hope to build a life with! Thank you Julia!
