We cannot speak highly enough of Rachael! Coming into the experience we were not sure what to expect, but from day 1, Rachael was professional, helpful and caring. Since completing the SYMBIS program with Rachael, our relationship is stronger then ever. The program is very well rounded and Rachael took the time to walk through any questions and discussions we had on the different topics. Wedding's involve a lot of planning, but many people don't realize that the most important part is planning for your marriage and building foundations for the future. We would recommend Rachael's counseling to anyone who is planning on getting married, regardless of how long you have been together as a couple.

Wedding planning can be stressful! Rachael helped us stay connected with one another throughout our process and helped us identify which obstacles were chances to practice better communication with each other and with our family/friends. She is non-judgemental and truly wants to see each party feel supported, and (not that couples work is always easy) we've been raving to friends about our experience with her practically from day one. In addition to exploring the usual sticky topics for newly engaged couples, we worked on our vows and even discussed how we were going to make the most of our wedding weekend through some scheduled mindfulness breaks. I highly recommend working through some of the "Saving your Marriage Before it Starts" (SYMBIS) workbooks beforehand so you can get the most out of Rachael's expertise; although it certainly is not a requirement. If price scares you away, consider making it a gofundme item on your registry! Weddings are about making a promise to one another and becoming a family. We are so glad we found Rachael to prepare us to be stronger partners for one another and open the door to some hard life questions. Our relationship feels much stronger and more secure now that we've explored so many subjects together that we didn't even know we were avoiding! Premarital counseling is the one wedding "splurge" we most highly value. While the wedding only lasts a day, we know we'll be reaping the rewards of our work with Rachael for years to come.
