Barbara Summers

Since launching her professional matchmaking business called Healthy

Professional Singles in 1986, Barbara has matched over 300 couples who married.

Barbara also works as a relationship coach and leads seminars and workshops on topics such as how to keep a relationship hot, handling a divorce, and identifying what you’re looking for in a partner. She hosts yearly retreats to Canyon Ranch.

Barbara is a proven media veteran, particularly as a relationship expert taking live call-ins. She has extensive experience as a live radio show host, including the “Bab Summers Show” on WJBK broadcasting out of Detroit and “Singles Talk” on San Diego’s KCEO-AM (1000), which was a popular listener call-in program about relationships.

She will appear on “The Romance,” a reality TV series about dating that will air on San Diego Channel 4 in February 2015 and is nationally syndicated. Barbara has been a guest on other television programs such as “Good Morning San Diego,” “Fox 5 Morning News,” and Channels 7 (NBC) and 10 (ABC) San Diego evening news, and was featured in an Emmy Award–nominated documentary about the wives of professional athletes.

Prior to professional matchmaking, Barbara founded and ran companies called Love That Body (a fitness center), Love That Maid (a cleaning business), and Love That Job (a personnel agency). She has a passion for putting people together, whether it is for the purpose of employment or romance. Barbara studied psychology at Southern Illinois University and is passionate about fitness and health.

A relevant credential for the subject at hand is the fact that Barbara has been married four times. Yes, you read that right: four! (Note that the fourth is still in the picture, and his nickname is Lucky.) One of her husbands was a professional baseball player; another was a professional football player. She has a daughter, three stepsons, five grandchildren, a great-grandson, and an Australian Labradoodle that is like an additional child in the family. Barbara lives in the San Diego area.
