From the very first day of its foundation in 1996 Agency "Lavender" started to work in two directions at once - International Matchmaking and Dating service in Russia, Siberian region, city of Barnaul. Go to paragraph Agency staff.
International Matchmaking Service.
Because of remoteness of our region and naturally lesser opportunities for communication, acquaintance, search for life partner, this kind of service became very popular among women 18-55 y.o. In 1997 Svetlana Lavender was taught this business in France and completed partnership agreement with the agency «Latitude-Est» (territory east), Madam Sentice in Lyons, where certain approaches in work organization with clients were mastered and accepted to be realized in the city of Barnaul. Madam Sentice combined psychological practice for lonely people, who had gone through painful divorces or become widowed, with proposals for acquaintance. Her work included psychological support and appearance of new, life perspective for a personality. Such approach turned out to be very successful and effective. The very approach is realized here in agency "Lavender".
