About Lynda Adams
Owner and Professional Matchmaker
In March 2025, Lynda Adams acquired the long-standing Maine business, Cara Matchmaking. Founded on decades of thoughtful matchmaking by former owner Noreen Rochester, Cara Matchmaking now moves forward as Guided Love Connections with updated programs and a modern, high-touch approach to connection.
“Bringing the right people together has been a constant theme throughout my life and career.
I’ve spent years building communities, connecting professionals, and guiding people through meaningful personal growth. Again and again, I found myself in the role of trusted advisor—someone people felt comfortable opening up to, especially when it came to relationships, communication, and life direction. Matchmaking is a natural extension of that work.
My approach is grounded, intentional, and human. With a background in health and wellness, marketing, public service, and coaching, I bring both structure and intuition to the matchmaking process. I believe strong relationships are built on shared values, emotional maturity, communication, and mutual respect—not just chemistry or checklists.
As a Certified Relationship Coach and Matchmaker, I’m proud to carry forward the Cara Matchmaking legacy while thoughtfully evolving it. I offer a personalized, discreet, and high-touch experience for singles who are serious about building a meaningful relationship. My role is to see beyond profiles and first impressions, identify true compatibility, and help you move toward a connection that aligns with who you are and where you’re going.
My mission is straightforward: to provide a trusted, intentional space where singles—especially those who value depth, integrity, and purpose—can find real, lasting connection.
If you’re ready for a more thoughtful approach to dating, I’d be honored to guide you.”
Equally important to my matchmaking experience is lived relationship experience. My husband, Shawn and I began dating in 1994 and married in 2002. Like any long-term partnership, our marriage has required effort, honesty, and growth—especially during challenging seasons. Staying committed through those moments gave me a deep understanding of what actually sustains a relationship over time. That perspective allows me to guide clients with realism, clarity, and compassion—without judgment or pressure.
Outside of work, I love spending time hiking with our rescue girl, Brook, as well as camping; motorcycles; going to the beach, kayaking, traveling; singing (I used to sing in local rock bands Black Rose and Sibling Rivalry); and having fun times with family and friends! I believe in living life to the fullest and I take every opportunity to do that!
