RACHEL JOY BAREHL
A community architect • a relational doula • a matchmaker + social weaver • a curator of rooms • a holder of stories • a tender revolutionary
Rachel has spent her entire life seeing people — not as they present, but as they’re becoming. She catches the future in them before they can name it themselves. She blends creativity with discipline, intuition with psychological rigor, and an uncommon level of care with a bold, contagious sense of possibility. Conversations with her deepen quickly. Rooms shift when she walks in. Collaboration is the air she breathes; co-creation is her favorite medium.
In a culture obsessed with optimizing love, Rachel returns it to its rightful place: a practice. A craft. A collaboration. A path worth committing to.
As the matchmaker, photographer, and founder behind In Good Company and Feels Like Home, she is redesigning how modern humans connect — building intentional, human-centered alternatives to the burnout of dating apps. Her work lives at the intersection of intimacy, psychology, imagination, and nervous system wisdom. She helps people soften their defenses, listen to desire without panic, and build relationships that feel steady, alive, and deeply mutual.
Her approach is part strategy, part hospitality, part artistry. She invites people to slow down, tune in, and move with clarity, courage, and play. Because she believes — and lives — the truth that healthy relationships are a form of wealth. They strengthen individuals, families, friendships, and entire communities. They expand our capacity to be generous, kind, and grounded contributors to the world around us. They make us more ourselves.
And as one coach once told her:
“You are so creative, so deeply caring, and so fucking talented.”
They weren’t wrong.
ADAM BAREHL
A bodywise healer • a nervous system whisperer • a holder of ease • a keeper of calm • a steady hand • a tender anchor • a gentle giant • a devoted father
Adam has spent his life helping people return to themselves — not by force, but by presence. He has a way of settling a room without speaking, of creating safety that can be felt before it is named. He blends intuition with anatomical mastery, touch with attunement, and an almost monastic steadiness with a warmth that makes the most guarded people soften. Around him, breath deepens. Shoulders drop. The body remembers its own intelligence.
In a world that glorifies urgency, Adam offers something radical: slowness. Spaciousness. The belief that healing is relational, rhythmic, and built through attention.
As a massage therapist, nervous system specialist, and the quiet heartbeat behind In Good Company and Feels Like Home, he helps people regulate, unwind, and come home to the truth living beneath their tension. His work lives at the intersection of touch, trauma-informed practice, and deep presence — reminding clients that ease is not a luxury; it’s a doorway.
His approach is part physiology, part energy work, part deeply human care. He invites people to meet themselves without judgment, to trust the wisdom of their own body, and to move through the world with more steadiness, gentleness, and grounded clarity. Because he believes — and lives — the truth that emotional safety is a form of strength. It expands our capacity to love, to repair, and to offer our best selves to the people we hold dear.
As one client once said: “Being around you feels like exhaling.”
They weren’t wrong.
MIKE, happily-matched client
“Talking about my personal life, and what I wanted it to be (and not be), felt easy and natural. Rachel was encouraging yet realistic—no upsell, no hype—just genuine enthusiasm and fresh thinking.”

Collaboration is at the heart of everything I do.
Matchmaking is not a solo pursuit — at its core, it’s a collective one. Behind every introduction lives a quiet constellation of people: peers, mentors, creatives, healers, entrepreneurs, and fellow matchmakers who share resources, insight, and a deep devotion to helping others find aligned, lasting partnership.
I’m plugged into a global web of relationship professionals, community builders, artists, coaches, authors, therapists, founders, farmers, parents, mystics, and everyday magic-makers. These are the people I turn to for perspective, collaboration, referrals, wisdom — and the occasional gentle nudge forward.
Our connection to one another makes the work sharper, safer, more intentional, and more alive.
From conferences in New York, to late-night Uber rides with other matchmakers, to training rooms I somehow found my way into (including Rachel Greenwald’s in La Jolla), to becoming a regular presence in the Matchmakers Alliance — and countless gatherings around kitchen tables, campfires, and living room floors — I’ve had the honor of learning and building alongside some of the most generous, brilliant humans I know.
And if I’m not the right fit for you, I won’t leave you stranded. I will help guide you to someone who is. Because this work is not rooted in competition.
It is rooted in care.
When connectors collaborate, people don’t just find love — they find belonging. And the world heals, a little at a time.
