Rachael is a great conversationalist who will whip you into shape! When I was having a hard time getting out of bed in the morning she offered to come my apartment and drag me outside! She is patient, kind and thoughtful and a great listener.

I can't say enough about her. The only regret I have is that she wasn't my first choice and didn't discover her sooner. I just felt an instant connection and look forward to speaking with her each time.
