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

TaChe, appreciate you joining us today. To kick things off, we’d love to hear about things you or your brand do that diverge from the industry standard

Intimate Remedies specializes in promoting love by curating transformative experiences for couples in an intimate setting. We host events and in-home date night retreats for small groups to increase intentionality and intimacy. The distinction between us and the industry standard is we are mobile, which means we can curate date nights anywhere you can imagine. We have done in-home date nights, date nights at our venue, date nights in the park and more. Another aspect that distinguishes us is we strive to dig deeper than surface level interactions. We include activities and resources that support intimacy building. We also offer nontraditional and unconventional date night options that go beyond just your typical dinner and a movie.

Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.

Hey everyone! My name is TaChe and I am the CEO and cofounder of Intimate Remedies. We often associate the title CEO with someone who may take their job a tad too seriously, and while I do get really serious about love, there are so many other things that have made me passionate about the opportunity to serve in this capacity. I love being a business owner but I am most thankful for the opportunity to love two amazing boys, ages 10 & 4, an amazing partner of 3.5 years, and people who have mastered the art of planning for the decades, but living in the moment. In addition to curating date nights, I am also a professional choreographer, dance instructor and creative director.

Hi, My name is Kyla (not Kayla)😉😘 allow me to express myself:

When I hear the term COO, there’s a pressure that comes with it. We all had to answer that pressing and heavy question when we were in grade school. What do we want to be when we grow up? I assure you, it wasn’t The Chief Operating Officer, yet, nurturing my passions have led me to this role and I am embracing the term. I am so thankful that this path is surrounded by so much love and support. I have been with my partner for 7 years and we continue to grow in love. Family is my priority, so a business nurtured in love is something worth sharing and passing down.

Hey! I’m Rashaad! I’m honored to be the Director of Photography & Videography for Intimate Remedies. Being able to play my part to help shape our brand through imagery and video is rewarding to say the least. I’ve been able to provide the content not only for our guests but also our website, social media, YouTube, blogs and more! Smile! The most rewarding part of being a photographer is seeing a person’s reaction as they review their photos. Before a session many clients often say “I’m not photogenic, or I don’t take good pictures”. I’ll quickly follow behind those comments with “you ..👉🏽don’t take good pictures, but I do”! I want to see you really smile, hear you really laugh, and witness a new sense of confidence! 😁😄😃😆 That’s special to me.

Any advice for growing your clientele? What’s been most effective for you?

Building clientele is a lot like dating. How fitting, right? Ha.

Phase One: The day you first met
Being your authentic self is key to alignment in any relationship. Letting the conversation flow naturally and then allowing the connection to form organically has been pivotal in the success of growing our clientele.

Phase Two: Getting to know each other
Skip the small talk, trust us. Ask the questions that make them think, offer a new perspective, find ways to relate to them.

Phase Three: First date
Let them talk and then ask engaging questions. Pay attention to the details and remember, it’s always the little things. And if you want to see them again, make sure to cover that base as well.

Phase Four: Tying The Knot
After all that, how do you continue to grow together in love? By determining that we are officially a match and would benefit from a life-long relationship, doing quarterly relationship check-ins, remembering special occasions. These are all ways to increase the longevity of the relationship.

In summary, the goal is to build genuine and intentional connections. Narrow in on your demographic and do the work without forcing anything. We call our clientele the 10% Club because only about 10% will make it to the end of the story. Those are the ones we want to grow with.

If one person values what you offer, chances are there are thousands more!

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

The notion that love is synonymous with possession.

Love is not about controlling or having ownership of your partner but allowing them to grow by nurturing the love you have for them as a person. So, instead of merging lifestyles and becoming one, we honor our individuality by committing to self-love and awareness and we nurture our relationship by sharing from our overflow. This is not to say that sharing common values and beliefs are not important, that is a separate conversation. We are essentially talking about a balance of security and freedom. I am sharing myself with you, not giving myself to you.

In the book titled “Be Love Now” by Ram Dass he states it beautifully: “If I go into the place in myself that is love and you go into the place in yourself that is love, we are together in love. Then you and I are truly in love, the state of being love. That’s the entrance to Oneness”

Backstory:

My perspective of love changed from possession to liberation after hearing the song “Can I” by Alina Baraz. Here are a few of the lyrics for your reference:

“If I told you I could give you life
Would you leave the boundaries of your mind?
I bet you never even knew
That there’s a universe inside of you
Can I take your pain and make it go away
Would you let me be your getaway
No, no, no, no, I bet you never knew
There’s a universe inside of you
Can I
Undress you
You, you, you, you
Undress you
You, you, you, you
Undress you
You, you, you, you
Undress you
You, you, you, you
Undress you
There’s a universe inside of you”

“People do…Mix up love and possession. I don’t think that should be possible. They’re opposites really: love and ownership” – Dani Clayton
