About Intimately U
Our Story
Kyla Derry-Founder, Survivor, Self-Love Strategist
"I wanted to create what I needed and saw missing in traditional healing spaces, cultural relevance and representation-a place where women can feel seen, supported, and reminded that healing isn't solitary. It's collective."
Intimately U is a trauma-informed wellness brand rooted in healing and humanity. Intimately U is more than a brand — it’s a movement for intentional self-care and collective healing.
Founded by Kyla Derry, a survivor, author, and self-love strategist, Intimately U was created to fill a void in traditional wellness spaces — a void where representation, cultural relevance, and emotional safety were often missing.
What began as a personal act of healing through candle-making became a calling to build a community where women could rest, reconnect, and rise.
Every product and experience we create is trauma-informed and crafted with care — blending ritual and restoration to help women regulate, reflect, and reclaim their peace.
Mission
To illuminate the path of healing through intentional self-care, trauma-informed support, and culturally grounded wellness experiences that empower women to reclaim their peace and power.
Vision
To build a world where self-care is not a privilege but a practice of restoration — accessible, inclusive, and rooted in community care.
Our Core Values
Integrity
We pour every product and program with transparency, care, and authenticity — honoring the trust our community places in us.
Empathy
Our work begins with listening. We create spaces where every story is held with compassion and cultural understanding.
Intention
From every candle to every conversation, intention guides what we do — reminding us that healing starts with mindful presence.
Our Impact: “Buy One, Heal One”
At Intimately U, our impact is deeply rooted in community collaboration. We believe that healing should ripple outward.
That’s why we’ve built a Buy One, Heal One model — where every purchase funds free or subsidized trauma-informed workshops, peer circles, and self-care kits for women navigating trauma and transition.
Every candle we pour, every story we hold, and every partnership we nurture is an act of restoration — for ourselves and our communities.
Our Promise
We don’t just create products. We create safe spaces for women to come home to themselves.
