Where do I begin?

Come on a Walk

Every month our community meets up for a stroll through one of our Columbus Metroparks. Have social anxiety? We get it. First time? That’s the perfect place to start. Our community is ready to welcome you and cheer you on for taking action and moving in the direction of love. Join us for a walk on March 30th at the Park of Roses. 

Clarity & Connection Session

Are you ready to gain deeper insight into your love life? This 90-minute conversation is designed to explore your relationship history and the dating struggles that may be holding you back. We’ll dive into your life experience—who you are, your family background, your passions, and what has shaped you. We will clarify your vision for partnership: what you’re truly seeking, why those qualities matter to you, and how to move towards it.

Enter The Orbit

DAN MERRITT, matchmaking client

“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.”
