Who Is Kathi Pepper?
Your Intimacy Coach Keeping the Spice In Intimate Relationships
It all started with a Master’s Degree in Counseling Psychology and a belief that people needed a safe, joyful place to talk about relationships.
More than thirty years ago, Kathi Pepper began hosting home parties that blended education, humor, and heart — what she called “educationally entertaining conversations.” Those gatherings grew into a beloved boutique, a thriving community, and a lifelong mission: helping people learn how to connect, communicate, and stay curious about love at every stage of life.
For Kathi, the “toys” were never the point — they were simply introductions to conversations about confidence, trust, and intimacy. Her true work has always been about helping people feel safe being themselves.
Alongside her husband, Kathi has lived through the full spectrum of life’s tests — family loss, health crises, and reinvention — and has turned those experiences into lessons in resilience and grace.
Today, Kathi continues to teach through her signature program, “Relationships Through the Ages,” where she explores how communication, compassion, and connection evolve as we do. Her guiding truth remains simple and timeless:
“The best relationships aren’t perfect — they’re practiced.”
Warm, wise, and wonderfully human, Kathi Pepper brings laughter and light to life’s most meaningful conversations.

I saw a recent Pure Romance post that said: "No strangers in your home running the show." Kathi Pepper talked about it.
That line stopped me cold.
Because it's deeply ironic.
Pure Romance is now using the idea of "strangers" as a problem—when their own business model created that experience in the first place. In their own words, this ad quietly acknowledges that something about their core product made people uncomfortable.
Before going any further, this also needs to be said clearly:
Many educators, solopreneurs, and smaller companies succeeded in sexual health and wellness despite the Pure Romance model—not because of it. The PR structure emphasized rapid recruiting over skill-building. The result was high churn, which meant hostesses repeatedly met brand-new presenters with new boxes of toys.
That's not a failure of intimacy education.
That's a failure of structure.
PR's move away from the party-based MLM model makes business sense for them. But reframing the past as a problem of "strangers in homes"—while announcing they're now selling a BOX OF SEX TOYS—continues to center product over people. Whether intentional or not, this ad diminishes the professionalism and entrepreneurial spirit of those who did this work thoughtfully and well.
At Pepper's Parties, Kathi and I chose a different path over 30 years ago—people, education, relationships.
Boxes don't make relationships.
People do.
