THE STORY BEHIND INTIMATELY U
Built from lived experience. Created with purpose.
Intimately U began with a simple belief: people deserve spaces where they feel safe, seen, and supported.
What started with self-care has grown into something much bigger, a wellness brand bringing together thoughtfully made products, meaningful experiences, workplace wellness, and community connection.
And behind it all is a founder who understands that rebuilding isn't always loud, linear, or visible.
Intimately U isn't about having it all figured out. It's about creating room for what comes next.

MEET THE FOUNDER
I didn't build Intimately U because I had all the answers.
I built it while I was still finding some of my own.
I'm Kyla Derry, Founder of Intimately U. This brand grew from lived experience, rebuilding, motherhood, entrepreneurship, and the belief that some of the most meaningful forms of wellness are often the simplest: being heard, having room to breathe, creating something with your hands, and knowing you don't have to have everything figured out before you begin again.
Intimately U started with products and self-care, but over time I realized I was building something much bigger.
The candles became conversation starters. Workshops became spaces for connection. Community became part of the work. And somewhere along the way, the business I was building was also quietly rebuilding me.
While I was building Intimately U, Intimately U was quietly rebuilding me.
Today, I bring that lived experience into every part of Intimately U, from the products we create to the rooms we're invited into, with one intention at the center of it all:
To create experiences that remind people they matter.
