You’re In Good Company

MINDFUL
CONNECTIONS

FOR MODERN
TIMES

If you’ve ever felt disconnected—or exhausted from trying so hard to connect—you’re not alone.

We create spaces shaped by care and hospitality—where people can exhale, settle into themselves, and meet others with more ease. Over time, trust builds. Familiarity grows. Belonging becomes something you experience, not perform.

Think of this work as having a personal trainer for your relationships: a grounded guide and a friend who genuinely cares about your love life. We help you slow down, strengthen self-trust, stay curious, and develop the relational muscles that support real, aligned connection. We’re also there to make thoughtful introductions—and to help you debrief real experiences with clarity and care.

This work is for people who feel out of step with swipe culture—or worn down by treating relationships like transactions instead of living, breathing connections.

If you’re craving depth over performance and support that meets you where you are, you’re welcome here. We walk alongside you as you find your person—and build the kind of partnership that makes everyday life feel more shared, steadier, and easier to carry.

In Good Company is re-humanizing modern dating.

The first phase of our mission requires you– we can’t be in Good Company alone. Winter 2026 is my time to build my rolodex of cool, connection-ready humans to 2000 people. Imagine stepping away from dating apps and all the relational weirdness that comes along with them and INTO a space where we actually teach humans best practices of how to approach the work of knowing and being known in ways that have the possibility to transform all your interactions into ones that offer connection. We want you to find your person, your people, and we want to help you do this with more grace, intentionality, fun, joy, and success. Listen, I’m not selling you anything, I’m here to sell you on better connections, and that starts with believing it’s possible by joining the rolodex.

Helping Humans Find Each Other

“Last year, I had accepted being single as my fate. I was done. And now—here I am, in something completely different. I went from believing there was nobody for me to realizing I’m deeply, profoundly loved

You might be wondering, who is this human? And why does she want me to join her rolodex? That’s fair.

Rachel Joy Barehl has a rare ability to see what’s most true and compelling in a person—and to reflect it back with care. For those navigating dating and relationships, she offers clarity, confidence, and a steadier way of showing up—so connection feels grounded rather than performative.

In her wider orbit, she’s known for creating spaces where people can be curious, imperfect, and fully themselves—where honesty and joy are welcome, and belonging grows over time. She brings a calm, attuned presence to her work, and holds a deep belief that dating can feel good again—and that the way we learn to relate, with ourselves and with each other, quietly shapes the world around us.

Schedule A Clarity Call

This work is a little outside the box—and you may not yet know if it’s for you, or if I’m the right person to support you. That’s not a problem. That’s exactly what this space is for.

This is a focused, one-on-one conversation to slow down, get oriented, and name what’s actually happening in your relational world. You’ll have room to ask questions. I’ll share how I work. Together, we’ll see what kind of support would help you move forward with more clarity and self-trust.

This session is about discernment, not commitment.

While it may open the door to future work together, it does not include ongoing coaching, matchmaking, profile creation, or personal introductions. My role here isn’t to convince you of anything—it’s to help you see more clearly so you can choose your next steps from a grounded place.

schedule a 30-min clarity call

Over the past decade, we’ve worked with hundreds of individuals, couples, and communities as matchmakers, relationship guides, photographers, and space-holders—supporting people through love, heartbreak, reinvention, and the quiet bravery it takes to be seen again.

Our work lives at the intersection of clarity, connection, and courage. We don’t just help people date—we help them understand their patterns, soften their defenses, and show up with more honesty, discernment, and self-trust. The result is relationships that are reciprocal, grounded, and deeply alive.

We’re the founders of In Good Company—a relational practice for people who are tired of swipe culture and hungry for something more human. This work treats connection as something we practice, not perform.

Our training as photographers shaped how we work today: attuned, observant, and grounded in what’s real. We learned early on that being truly witnessed can shift how people see themselves—and how they show up in relationship.

Our clients are often accomplished, big-hearted, and a little disillusioned. They’ve built full lives—and now want partnership that expands them rather than drains them. We help them move from confusion to clarity, from striving to choosing, from “Why hasn’t this worked yet?” to “Oh. This is what alignment feels like.”

We do this work together, as partners and spouses of more than a decade. Adam brings a steady, grounding presence as a massage therapist and nervous-system whisperer; Rachel brings deep relational insight and discernment. Love isn’t theoretical for us—it’s practiced daily, imperfectly, with care.

When we’re not hosting gatherings, coaching clients, or making thoughtful introductions, you’ll find us cooking for a crowded table, playing board games with friends, cleaning up messes, or looking up at the moon—remembering that timing, trust, and tenderness matter.

Long story short: we’re not here to optimize you for an algorithm. We’re here to help you build a life—and relationships—that feel steady, reciprocal, and better together.

If you’re ready to stop dating on autopilot and start choosing with intention, you’re in the right place.

We help thoughtful, emotionally intelligent humans find their people—and build relationships that actually feel like home.

More about rachel + adam
  • 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.

    -Phil Mendola

  • The quality of dates was better than any I’d gone on before working with Rachel — and that’s because of her matchmaking skills and her ability to vet people much better than a short online profile. Every single date left me more energized.

    —Dan Merritt

  • 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.

    — Nate Romero

  • I haven't been even remotely hopeful or even curious about dating for a long time and I am now and that is kind of lovely.
