The Dating Explained Story: Meet the Founders
Jolene Beaton & Celine Ikeler: A Powerful Sister Duo Revolutionizing the Modern Dating Experience
In October 2024, sisters Jolene Beaton and Celine Ikeler merged their distinct, decades-long expertise to launch Dating Explained, a transformative community dedicated to ending the frustration of modern dating.
While this is their first formal business venture together, they discovered an undeniable synergy, blending science and soul to create a truly unique support system for singles.
"Ultimately date with integrity and compassion while remaining unattached to the outcome."
— JOLENE BEATON

Jolene is a 17-year veteran of the matchmaking world, having spent most of her career as a dating coach who has guided thousands of singles from first dates into lasting relationships. She is also completing her PhD in Performance Psychology, a field that directly fuels her mission to teach people how to become "high-performance daters."
Her approach is built on a simple, powerful observation: people are often their own biggest obstacle. After years of seeing clients fall into psychological traps, behave in ways that sabotage connection, and blame others for their own patterns, Jolene knows exactly what holds people back. She uses her expertise to help clients uncover these hidden blocks, providing the strategic tools they need to show up as their best, most confident selves and build the relationship they deserve.

Her work is rooted in her profound empathic and intuitive abilities, with a gift for seeing people more clearly than they often see themselves.
Her journey—from a 15-year career as an animation artist to founding a renowned wellness brand—has been fueled by a constant dedication to meditation and personal evolution. This allows her to connect with clients on a deep, authentic level, helping them gain the self-awareness and clarity needed to attract genuine partnership.
