Hello, world!
My name is Daniella Guimaraes and my passion for true self-expression in relationships birthed Velvet Ties, America’s first non-monogamous matchmaking agency.
For the first time in modern history, non-monogamy, a diverse and evolving relationship style, is gaining popularity in society. From high-profile celebrities embracing open relationships to everyday individuals seeking authentic connections, non-monogamous dating is redefining the way we approach love and intimacy.
ENM, or ethical non-monogamy, can provide a unique sense of freedom, allowing individuals to benefit from diverse connections without the downside of secrecy and omission. While jealousy and fear of rejection may arise, with the right mindset these obstacles can present opportunity for personal growth and create an even stronger bond between the couple.
"Non-monogamy challenges societal norms and offers an alternative way to build relationships based on honesty and open communication." - Esther Perel, Psychotherapist and Relationship Expert
Here, open communication becomes paramount. Willingness to be vulnerable, express boundaries, and listen deeply are crucial to create a safe space for those involved to enjoy the journey. Remember, non-monogamy is a spectrum, and everything can be negotiated. Various levels of openness and disclosure provide individuals with the freedom to define their own boundaries.
One common misconception surrounding non-monogamy is that it equates to infidelity or a lack of commitment. However, non-monogamy, marriage, and starting a family are not mutually exclusive. Studies have shown that non-monogamous couples can experience even greater intimacy and relationship satisfaction than their monogamous counterparts.

Open relationships can be grounded in commitment and depth, challenging traditional norms. Negotiating rules and boundaries within the relationship, creates a space where being ones’ true self is encouraged. Lying and cheating have little upside and infidelity becomes less of a concern than in traditional relationship structures.
