A COMMUNITY ARCHITECT • A RELATIONAL DOULA • A MATCHMAKER + SOCIAL WEAVER • A CURATOR OF ROOMS • A HOLDER OF STORIES • A WARM LEADER • A TENDER REVOLUTIONARY
For as long as she can remember, Rachel Joy Barehl has been seeing people — catching glimpses of who they’re becoming before they can name it themselves. She pairs optimism with grit, creativity with discipline, and an uncommon level of care with a contagious sense of possibility. Conversations with her deepen easily; rooms tend to shift when she enters. Collaboration is her native language, and co-creation her favorite form of expression.
In a world that treats love as a problem to solve, Rachel helps people make it a practice.
As a matchmaker, photographer, and the founder of In Good Company and Feels Like Home, she is reimagining modern connection through intentional, human-centered alternatives to the burnout of dating apps. Her work lives at the intersection of intimacy, psychology, and creativity — helping people soften their defenses, regulate their nervous systems, and build relationships that feel steady, alive, and real.
Rachel’s approach blends research and intuition, hospitality and strategy. She invites people to slow down, listen closely, and move with clarity and courage. Because healthy relationships are a form of generational wealth — strengthening individuals, families, friendships, and entire communities.
As one coach put it:
“You are so creative, so deeply caring, and so fucking talented.”
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.”
Philip
For as long as I have known her, Rachel has been a connector in every sense of the word. Her sense for feeling a person—their heart, their energy, their unique qualities—is like no one else’s I have met. With both tact and enthusiasm, she is able to see people, relationships, and potential connection with a keen eye. My own shyness has benefited from Rachel’s big heart and can-do spirit, the exact kind of energy that keeps the world going. My confidence in her is rooted in a long personal history where I have seen her whip people, parties, and plans together in just the place where the potential was ripe. I’m deeply grateful to Rachel for the opportunities she’s given to me, and I’m hopeful that others will feel the exact same blessing of her effort, eye, and energy.
Nate
In just one hour, Rachel connected with me in a way I didn’t know was possible. As a young introverted man with limited dating experience, she helped me see the value of support, confidence, and even the power of affirmations. I don’t often seek help, but I don’t recall a moment in my life where I felt so moved by someone I barely knew.

Collaboration is at the heart of everything I do.
Matchmaking has never been a solo pursuit — it is, at its core, a collective one. Behind every introduction is a constellation of peers, mentors, creatives, healers, entrepreneurs, and fellow matchmakers who share resources, insight, and a deep devotion to helping people find aligned, lasting partnership.
I’m not just a matchmaker; I’m a superconnector — plugged into a global web of relationship professionals, community builders, artists, coaches, authors, therapists, founders, farmers, parents, mystics, and everyday magic-makers who are all invested in the art of connection. 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.
This means I can draw on some of the best relational minds in the world for collaboration, brainstorming, and candidate sharing. That kind of access isn’t accidental — it’s the result of years of investing time, money, courage, vulnerability, and heart into real relationships within and beyond the matchmaking industry.
From conferences in New York, to training days in Rachel Greenwald’s home in La Jolla, to learning inside the Matchmakers Alliance in Mexico — and countless gatherings around kitchen tables, campfires, and living room floors with friends who care deeply about love — I’ve had the honor of studying and building alongside some of the brightest, most generous humans I know.
And if I’m not the right fit for you, I won’t force it. I’ll help guide you toward someone who is. Because this work isn’t rooted in competition. It’s rooted in care.
When connectors collaborate, people don’t just find love — they find belonging.
