Read the full press release

Now available on both the Apple App Store and Google Play, Spiritually Vibin' is accessible across Michigan, offering users a different approach to meeting potential partners.

The idea behind the platform came from Emily’s own experiences with modern dating. Frustrated by superficial connections, misleading profiles and the lack of meaningful compatibility, she began imagining a dating experience that placed greater emphasis on who people are and how they connect.

Rather than relying solely on traditional matching criteria, Spiritually Vibin' introduces a range of spiritual compatibility tools designed to give users additional insight into their connections. These include astrology, numerology, chakra compatibility and personalized compatibility insights.

The platform also offers features designed to make dating feel more intentional, including Blind Soul Connection, which allows users to reveal profile photos through interaction rather than making appearance the first deciding factor.

More Than Just an App

Spiritually Vibin' also extends beyond mobile dating. Through spirituallyvibin.com, visitors can access quizzes and compatibility reports, including options for couples who want to explore their connection together without downloading the app.

The website offers an additional way for people to discover the platform's approach to compatibility, whether they are single, in a relationship or simply curious about how different personality and spiritual factors interact.

Building Something Different

Emily has built Spiritually Vibin' from the ground up, teaching herself the skills needed to develop and bring the platform to market without a traditional software engineering background.

Trust and transparency have also been important considerations in its development. The platform uses third-party identity verification through Didit. This process is designed to help verify user identity; ensuring people are who they say they are.

For Emily, the ambition is much bigger than launching another dating app.

"Dating should be about more than how someone looks in a photograph or how quickly you can swipe through profiles. I wanted to create something that encourages people to understand their connections on a deeper level and gives compatibility a bigger place in the dating experience."

With the platform now available across Michigan, the longer-term vision is to expand nationally within the next 18 months, with international growth targeted within three years.

Spiritually Vibin' — Less swiping, more aligning.

The Spiritually Vibin' story

Less swiping, more aligning.

What if dating was about more than a profile picture?

Modern dating has become increasingly focused on quantity rather than quality. Endless swiping, superficial first impressions, disappearing conversations and the pressure to constantly find the next match.

Spiritually Vibin' was created to offer something different.

Founded by Emily Margetts in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Spiritually Vibin' is a dating platform that combines modern dating technology with deeper compatibility insights, personal values and more intentional ways to connect.

The philosophy is simple: less time searching through hundreds of profiles, and more time discovering connections that have the potential to mean something.

What makes Vibin' different?

Real Birth Chart Compatibility
Forget matching on sun signs alone. Spiritually Vibin' uses users' birth details to explore their full astrological birth charts, offering a richer perspective on personality, relationship dynamics and potential compatibility.

Personal Chakra Profiles
Users can discover their chakra profile and explore energetic compatibility. Their Signature Vibe is represented through an animated aura-style ring, bringing their personal profile to life.

Values Matter
Compatibility isn't just about astrology. Personal values are an important part of building meaningful relationships. Vibin' puts greater emphasis on what matters to people and what they're looking for in a connection.

A Few People a Day, Not Hundreds
Instead of encouraging endless swiping, Vibin' takes a more considered approach to discovery. The idea is to introduce a smaller number of potential connections each day, encouraging users to spend more time getting to know people rather than constantly searching for someone new.

The Daily Practice
Dating becomes part of a more mindful daily routine. With daily astrology and tarot guidance, users have opportunities to pause, reflect and approach their dating journey with greater intention.

Date Ideas That Bring Connections to Life
Matching is only the beginning. Vibin' also brings date ideas into the experience, helping users move beyond messaging and start creating real-world experiences together.

Fading, Not Ghosting
Nobody enjoys being left wondering what happened after a promising conversation. Vibin' embraces a more considerate approach to ending connections, encouraging people to let a connection fade rather than simply disappearing without explanation.

Verification and Photo Accountability
Trust and authenticity are important to the platform. Spiritually Vibin' incorporates third-party identity verification through Didit, alongside hand-checked profile photos, helping create an additional layer of accountability and confidence for users.

Identity verification is not a criminal background check and cannot guarantee someone's intentions or safety, but it is part of Vibin's commitment to a more transparent dating experience.

Compatibility beyond dating

Spiritually Vibin' isn't limited to people looking for a match.

Through spirituallyvibin.com, visitors can access quizzes and compatibility reports, including options for couples who want to explore their connection together without downloading the mobile app.

Couples can discover more about their compatibility, explore different aspects of their relationship and enjoy the experience together.

It also gives curious visitors an opportunity to experience the Spiritually Vibin' concept before joining the dating platform.

A bigger vision for dating

Spiritually Vibin' is designed to bring a fresh perspective to an established industry.

Available on both the Apple App Store and Google Play, the platform is currently available across Michigan, with ambitions to expand nationwide within the next 18 months and internationally within three years.

At its heart, Vibin' challenges the idea that successful dating is about how many people you can swipe through.

It's about understanding yourself, recognizing what matters to you and making space for connections that feel right.

Meet the founder

Emily Catherine Margetts, Founder and CEO of Spiritually Vibin'

Emily Catherine Margetts
Founder & CEO of Spiritually Vibin'

Emily Margetts is a British-born entrepreneur, now based in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and the founder of Spiritually Vibin'; a dating technology company challenging the way people approach modern relationships.

Her entrepreneurial journey took an international turn on November 20, 2020, when she left the UK and relocated to Chicago to pursue freelance marketing opportunities. After discovering that Chicago's cost of living wasn't quite the right fit, she moved to Michigan in August 2021, eventually settling in Grand Rapids in August 2025.

The idea behind Spiritually Vibin' was born from a combination of personal experiences and a growing frustration with modern dating. Having experienced misleading profile photographs, ghosting and concerns around transparency and personal safety, Emily began questioning why dating apps placed so much emphasis on physical appearance rather than genuine compatibility.

After hearing similar frustrations from others, she recognized an opportunity to create something different.

Rather than simply launching another dating app, Emily set out to rethink the experience altogether. Vibin' combines modern dating technology with astrology, numerology, chakra compatibility and spiritual insights, encouraging users to explore connections that go beyond the traditional swipe-and-match culture.

What makes her journey particularly distinctive is that Emily is a completely self-taught founder. Without a background in software engineering or app development, she taught herself the skills needed to turn her idea into a functioning technology platform, learning about app development, business strategy, product design and digital infrastructure along the way.

Safety and transparency are also central to her vision. Spiritually Vibin' incorporates third-party identity verification through Didit as part of its commitment to building a more accountable dating community.

Emily's ambitions for the business extend well beyond Michigan. Her goal is to establish Spiritually Vibin' as a nationwide dating platform within the next 18 months, followed by international expansion within three years.

With an ambition to compete alongside the biggest names in online dating, Emily is determined to demonstrate that innovation in the dating industry doesn't have to come from Silicon Valley or established technology corporations.

For Emily, Spiritually Vibin' represents more than a business venture. It's an opportunity to challenge an industry, address real frustrations experienced by everyday people and create a different approach to finding meaningful connections.

Her philosophy is simple: less swiping, more aligning.
