Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Ashley Taylor. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Alright, Ashley thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. Let’s kick things off with talking about how you serve the underserved, because in our view this is one of the most important things the small business community does for society – by serving those who the giant corporations ignore, small business helps create a more inclusive and just world for all of us.

In today’s world, the high-quality men and women who genuinely seek love are often lost or overlooked in the noise of hookup culture and the inauthenticity that floods online spaces. These individuals, ready for real, meaningful connections, are underserved by a dating culture that prioritizes superficiality and quick thrills over genuine bonds. They are passed by, ghosted, or left disillusioned, despite their strong desire for authentic love.

My brand is dedicated to these individuals. I take a holistic approach to matchmaking and date coaching that caters to all people and energies, including those seeking non-traditional dynamics or desires within their relationships. Whether you’re looking for something more conventional or something entirely unique, my process is designed to support your needs.

What sets my approach apart is the emphasis on deep, energetic alignment. I don’t just focus on everyday factors like interests or background; I dive deeper into compatibility on a soul level. My vetting process is thorough and purposeful, ensuring only the highest quality individuals are selected. By offering exclusive matchmaking memberships, I’ve created an elite club for successful singles aged 27-37, designed for those who are serious about finding lasting love, not just another fleeting encounter.

In a culture plagued by hookup culture and ghosting, people have been left traumatized by superficial connections and mistreatment. FAR is different. I offer not only matchmaking but also comprehensive support through date counseling and wellness retreats guiding individuals to healing and genuine connections. Through this careful, thoughtful process, I help people find love that feels real, aligned, and everlasting.

As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?

My name is Ashley and I am the owner and founder of FAR (Femi Aura Retreats). My passion lies in helping people find love that’s authentic to their unique essence. I started my journey by doing compatibility analyses for singles in new relationships or couples wondering if they were compatible for the long term. By assessing the energetic resonance between their auras, I achieved such high accuracy that friends and clients were amazed, and my sessions quickly gained popularity. As I saw the trauma many people were experiencing from dating and relationships, I began to infuse love counseling into these analyses, which led me to expand into matchmaking.

I now offer exclusive matchmaking memberships, each tier providing unique benefits such as complimentary access to our singles mixers called Aura Sync, wellness retreats, and one-on-one relationship compatibility sessions. What sets me apart is my focus on holistic alignment and the deeper energetic connections between individuals. My approach goes beyond surface-level factors to ensure that connections are genuine and resonant with each person’s true energy.

I’m most proud of facilitating elevated love and creating a safe space where people can be vulnerable and experience healing. It’s incredibly rewarding to help individuals find lasting, meaningful love through a process that honors who they are at their core. My work is dedicated to fostering authentic connections that reflect the true essence of each individual.

What’s a lesson you had to unlearn and what’s the backstory?

Here’s how you can incorporate that sentiment:

—

One crucial lesson I had to unlearn was the idea that love alone could change the truth about compatibility. As a hopeful romantic, I once believed that if two people loved each other deeply, their love could overcome any incompatibilities or challenges they faced. I thought that love was a magical force capable of fixing any issues.

However, I came to realize that while love is indeed a magical force with the power to heal and enrich our lives, it cannot serve as a bandaid or cover-up for fundamental incompatibilities or unpleasant truths. Love alone can’t alter deep-seated differences or issues that might affect a relationship’s long-term success without compromising who you are.

In situations like this, we must choose love for ourselves and trust that we will be guided to another partner that not only loves us for all that we are but is also compatible with us. It’s possible to have both—genuine love and true compatibility. This lesson was tough to learn but essential for me to provide more effective guidance to those seeking genuine and meaningful connections.

Let’s talk about resilience next – do you have a story you can share with us?

Absolutely, here’s a softer, more compassionate version:

—

One story that truly illustrates my resilience involves a deeply personal experience. Like many, I found myself in a relationship that profoundly impacted my self-worth and confidence. The emotional toll was significant, and picking up the pieces felt incredibly challenging. Despite the pain, I had no choice but to persevere and keep moving forward.

This journey was not just about my own healing. It was also about seeing close friends and family face similar struggles in love. Although these experiences were painful, they offered important lessons and opportunities for growth. They inspired me to refine my approach to dating and matchmaking, not only for myself but for my clients as well.

Through these moments of hardship, I learned to approach love with deeper compassion and understanding. These experiences have guided me in developing more thoughtful and supportive methods for helping others. By turning my own challenges into a source of insight, I strive to provide innovative and heartfelt support to those seeking genuine connections and healing in their own lives.
