Our Values
The values we live by are the values we build by. Our culture is centered around the same values that inform how and what we build for couples.
- Equity. We believe that happy couples and healthy relationships must start from a place of fairness, recognition, and showing up with the intention of being on the same team. To be equitable, is to have joint ownership and accountability, and share in outcomes. We’re in this together.
- Diversity & inclusion. Relationships are human, transcending race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity / expression, age, differently abled, religion, socioeconomic background and life experiences. We believe that words are just the beginning: it's action and accountability that matter most. We commit to building a team and customer base that is diverse across all of these facets, and creating a safe space that listens, learns and grows as a result of and in honor of our differences. We are stronger and more whole together.
- Belonging. We recognize and receive an individual for who they are. Belonging represents our commitment to hospitality, safety, and acknowledgment of every couple’s unique needs. You belong here.
- Curiosity. Curiosity embodies a spirit of growth and exploration and captures our belief in opportunity—for improvement in oneself, enhancement of one’s relationships, and excitement in personal expansion. Together, we can embrace a beginner’s mindset and commit to exploring and evolving as new discoveries shape new perspectives. This is an adventure.
- Responsibility. Our work demands high standards, quality, honesty and integrity from everyone involved. We rely on expert knowledge and transparency to care for the wellbeing of our couples. This is a sacred responsibility.
- Compassion. To sympathize and empathize is to understand someone’s feelings. To be compassionate goes further in acting alongside that recognition. Compassion represents the greatest level of caretaking, both for oneself and for one’s relationship. As care providers, we lead with compassion to foster compassionate conversations and relationships. You are deeply loved.
