Experiences, cohorts, and private work to consciously engage with the cycles of encounter, integration, and participation.
The quality of our lives is inextricably intertwined with the quality of our relationships.
While there are some foundational best practices for creating honest, fulfilling, sustainable relationships, every relationship will have its own ecosystem and needs.
This is why my approach to relationship coaching is emergent rather than formulaic.
My primary goal is to support you to identify, create, and nurture the relationships that work best for your specific needs and desires.
Maybe you're desiring:
-
More connection in your family (blood and/or chosen)
-
Deeper intimacy in partnership
-
More efficient and streamlined communication and co-creation with colleagues and collaborators
-
A general sense of confidence and safety with self when navigating social dynamics
Every mode of relating benefits from embodied relating skills.
I am educated and practiced in various kinds of alternative relationship structures, approaches and agreements. I specialize in working with folks in the kink, queer, neurodivergent and consensually non-monogamous communities.
I also specialize in supporting people with advanced relationship skills to explore the subtler nuances and possibilities of relationship. You can learn more about my background and experience here.
This work will support you to cultivate an approach to relating with others that incorporates the wisdom of the body, play as a primary mode of learning and connecting, and relationship as both a human and spiritual practice.

Client Testimonials
"I worked with Ashley during a critical time of exploring how to build healthy boundaries in relationships in order to heal generational trauma and build better connections with those I love and care about. With her deep and knowledgeable expertise, every session brought new insights I was able to process intellectually, emotionally, and somatically. The lessons learned allowed me to create transformative, healthy change in relationships with others and with myself. Highly, highly recommend."
--Tricia
"My time with Ashley was priceless. She was highly recommended by my therapist when I started searching for someone to teach me about BDSM and all that came with: boundaries, owning my own space, exploring pleasure, and asking confidently for my own needs to be met. It's hard to put into words what transpired during our sessions together...honesty, authenticity, self-growth, and deep embodiment. She exudes both genuine warmth and care and groundedness and strength. She creates a safe container in which to explore.
She is an extremely knowledgeable and experienced teacher. The way in which she models and embodies the domme presence - her confidence and self-containment yet deep attunement and attention - is incredible, truly a gift, and something that needs to be experienced. She uses her extensive background in psychology, mindfulness, and the human psyche to bring forth even more of what's below the surface. My time with her was truly transformative."
-Heather
"In the last 3.5 months of getting to work together, I have felt so much care and attunement. I feel you being in relationship with yourself, with a deeper awareness than I feel from most people, and your access to that awareness awakened and opened my own access to so many different parts of myself, including my own deep inner knowing. I needed someone to offer me permission to go there. I needed someone to hold space for me, like you did, to go a whole gamut of places. I did the work, and you were an available, loving, guiding witness and support person, which is really what I needed. Thank you so much for venturing to these places with me, for showing me new perspectives, and for giving me literally soooo many tools. You have a pot of gold of tools!
