Cor Et Anima—Latin for “Heart and Soul”—is more than a matchmaking service. It is a refined response to the emotional disconnection so often found in today’s dating culture. “Our mission is to restore depth, sincerity, and meaningful human connection to the pursuit of love.”

Vivienne Shirin’s journey to founding Cor Et Anima was personal. A natural connector with a background in recruitment, she had a gift for inspiring men to step up—but over time, her dating life became more about guiding than connecting. She saw too much, felt too responsible, and realized that being “the coach” in her own relationships was quietly eroding the joy of them.

She didn’t want to keep playing that role—so she created a space where others wouldn’t have to either. Drawing on her eye for compatibility and her belief that love should feel both real and reciprocal, she envisioned a service that blended intuition with intention.

But Vivienne also knew that real transformation needed more than instinct—it needed structure, science, and care. That’s when she brought on Vilma Swahn, a clinical psychologist whose warmth and depth gave the vision its foundation. Together, they built Cor Et Anima: a place where strategy meets soul, and where people are supported not just in finding love, but in becoming ready for it.

Vivienne Shirin - “At Cor Et Anima, the journey isn’t just about finding a partner, it’s about becoming the person who naturally attracts the love you truly deserve.”
