BDSM & Sexuality 3 Hour CE Course
I taught “BDSM & Intimacy: Reflections from a Sex Coach & Dominatrix,” a three-hour CE-approved course with the Integrative Sex Therapy Institute. I guided therapists through the ways kink and BDSM can be deeply connective and healing, using stories from my practice, live demonstrations, and the voices of submissives themselves. Together we explored how negotiation, accountability, and power exchange reveal emotional truths, reduce shame, and create more nourishing relationships.


Appearance
I had the opportunity to guest appear on The Barnes Bunch as the Sex & BDSM expert for Anansa Sims, Matt Barnes and friends on their Vegas weekend trip. It was lots of fun getting into some BDSM basics and making talking about what we want in sex, connection and non-monogamy a more accessible subject.
Testimonials
"I have referred many clients to Ashley over the years. Ashley has been crucial in the healing journey. She skillfully creates a safe space emotionally, psychologically, and physically, where clients can move beyond talk therapy and engage in embodied practices—learning to tune into their desires, set boundaries, and develop relational confidence through real-time, consensual interaction.
Her sessions often lead to breakthroughs that are difficult to achieve in traditional clinical settings, especially for those dealing with shame, trust issues, or vulnerability related to their sexuality.
I teach a master’s level Sex Education class at two universities. Each quarter, I invite experts to speak on a panel and raise awareness in the classroom. Having Ashley on the panels is always a highlight for the students! She provides clarity, humor, and emotional depth as a professional dominatrix and educator. The students are consistently deeply impacted by her insights, especially on emotional safety, boundaries, and the therapeutic power of kink, as well as dispelling myths about the work done by a dominatrix/sex educator.
I trust her completely and feel very fortunate to work with someone who demonstrates such nuance and integrity in this work, while also being masterfully skilled with knowledge, humor, warmth, and genuine compassion.
I’m grateful to work alongside Ashley as a colleague."

"My goal was to try something new, in hopes of finding something atypical to traditional talking through your problems with a stranger. I wanted someone who would make me get out of my comfort zone of talking with someone. Being active with somebody, I tend to get more of a bond which helps me be more vulnerable.
After trying a couple of therapists in my area without much help, I decided to try something new and different. My experience was extremely positive. I initially was skeptical, but Ashley made me feel very comfortable which helped me open up and be vulnerable. Unfortunately for me, Ashley moved to California. However, I have continued to implement what I learned from our sessions to my life. I feel much more confident and self-assured. I would definitely recommend her to someone who is open minded to a new experience!”

"I have had deep traumatic experience with women throughout my life. Starting with my mom, then babysitter, fellow peers in school, and even the only two girlfriends I've had in the past. So many women hurt me, so I was afraid of them. Afraid of women. Afraid of being hurt. I have not had a relationship with a woman for over 11 years. I've only had sex only three times in my life.That is where I was coming from to seek coaching and healing from Ashley. She was so calming and welcoming. She listened to me, truly listened, and never interrupted me. She respected my past discussions, she understood me, and felt deep empathy for me. She showed me how to be vulnerable to her and in turn how to be vulnerable and safe with others. I also never conceived myself as being attractive, let alone think others would find me attractive. Ashley made me realize that I AM sexy. And damn handsome too. I didn't know how to be sexy at all at first. But she taught me, and it was easy to learn. I was shown that I had known how to be sexy all along, I just had to learn how to tap into it. Ashley is so amazing with what she does. She changed my life for the better. I now have the knowledge and confidence I need to find the woman I want to love forever. And I'm not afraid of the few women I may encounter along the way, and that it is fine to enjoy the journey. I do not need to feel ashamed of my sexuality. Ashley is so wonderful and she made me feel wonderful as well. She will make you feel the same."

"There are so many amazing things to say about Ashley! She is so comforting, and lets you put all your insecurities out in the air with out judgement at all! Even after just one session everything we worked on made me feel so much more confident! Not only does she help on a sexual level but she is also so helpful on a personal level as well. She was so easy to talk to it is almost as if the words just started coming out haha! I would highly recommend going to see Ashley for any insecurity or even if you just want to up your game behind closed doors!"

"I have experienced difficulty with relationships and when my marriage had hit rock bottom. I felt like a failure, dealt with anxiety, and insecurities for most of my life. Ashley is truly an incredible person! She is an expert at what she does and I can say without hesitation that I felt better, and more confident in myself after each session I had with her. She is kind, sweet, down to earth, and very respectful. Most importantly, she always made me feel comfortable and helped me to realize I have the potential to have the kind of relationships I want. She helped me to remove the negative mental blocks in my thinking and helped me to realize I know how to be intimate, sexy, and be confident in myself. I recommend Ashley to help anyone with their dating, love, and intimacy coaching needs!"
