Sometimes you just need someone.

My mission as a Social Accompanist is to serve others by providing company and support to those who need it from someone beyond their immediate circle. I do this by accompanying clients to places or events, listening empathetically, or providing coaching.

About Rachel

Social Accompanist

…what is that?

Inspired by Shoji Morimoto, the “Do Nothing Rental Person” of Japan, I’ve created a service called “Social Accompanist”. It’s available for situations in which all you want is a person to be there, either as a quiet companion, or as a sociable and empathetic listener, or perhaps even as someone to provide coaching for something that’s challenging you. Maybe there’s a personal issue you want to vent about and need an unbiased ear to hear you, or maybe there’s a restaurant or festival you want to go to but you feel awkward going on your own. As your Social Accompanist, I’m here to accompany you.

How would you like to be accompanied?

  • In person.

    I accompany you to a place or event. You plan what we’ll do. I simply show up.

  • Online.

    We meet virtually. I provide a link to a meeting room. You choose the topic.

What kind of company are you looking for?

I can be any of the following:

  • Quiet

     I won’t ask questions. I won’t say much and will only give simple responses.

  • Sociable & Empathetic

     I engage in conversation beyond simple responses. I listen empathetically, validating your feelings and asking questions to ensure you feel understood.

  • Coaching

    In addition to being sociable & empathetic, I ask you questions to help you determine what action you want to take in regards to an issue or a goal.
