CONNECTION
love is for everybody.
After a decade of witnessing tender love between good humans, on the day choose to celebrate with the world, I have an advantage that I do believe in love. I’ve seen partnership where couples treaded deeply painful times, watched swift love come and change everything, I’ve seen people unfurl and allow love in beyond what they could’ve imagined for themselves.
I’m not here to glamorize romantic relationships. They’re hard work, the good kind of hard. Most people I talk to are ready to do the good hard work to build a life with someone.
Make dating kind again
Working with someone who challenges you to be curious instead of judgememtal, both about the stories you’re telling yourself and about someone else’s lived experience. There is a person waiting to love you, right now.

My deep hope is that everyone finds a person who compliments them, who balances them, who actually likes doing the chore they hate to do.
“I'm not in the business of denying myself the simple pleasure of saying true things. I'm in love with you, and I know that love is just a shout into the void, and that oblivion is inevitable, and that we're all doomed and that there will come a day when all our labor has been returned to dust, and I know the sun will swallow the only earth we'll ever have, and I am in love with you.”
―John Green,The Fault in Our Stars

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.”
