Break the rules
Build real Connection
I offer experiential sex, intimacy, and kink coaching—a hands-on, real-time way of learning about desire, boundaries, and connection. Instead of only talking about what you want, we practice it together so you can actually feel the difference.
Some sessions focus on sex and intimacy—building confidence in connection, performance, learning how you come across, and practicing deeper communication and consent. Other sessions may include kink and BDSM, for those who want a safe space to explore dynamics like power exchange, sensation play, or role exploration.
This work isn’t about memorizing techniques or repeating scripts. It’s about honest practice and feedback, so you can move past shame, grow your confidence, and embody the way you want to show up in connection, relationships, sex and play.
Meet Ashley She/Her
I started my trainings and certifications in 2016 at Somatica as one of their now long established certified coaches and as one of the original and first graduating class of Dominatrices with Mistress Damiana Chi's Evolutionary Dominatrix Academy. Before all of this, I graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with an Undergrad in French language and Minor in Communications Studies. I grew up in Texas and Belgium and lived twelve years in Austin, Texas before moving to the Los Angeles area to what I love doing now, helping individuals and partners enhance their relationships, self worth and adult play lives.
My career path includes working for the Governor’s Office in Austin on the Texas Emerging Technology Fund, the Criminal Justice Divisions’ Law Enforcement Team, working in Marketing and Sales in the Wine and Spirits Industry and working in sales for Google Fiber.
Along the way I have been married and divorced, hitting emotional rock-bottom as I realized I was putting my partner before myself in just about every way. I chose to no longer live a life that wasn’t serving me and didn’t want others to do the same.
Since then I have opened my eyes to exploring sexuality, erotic connection, kink, relationship boundaries and learning what works for me personally. It’s an on-going process that I get to enjoy and share my experience and knowledge I have gained paired with my Somatica and Dominatrix training to help others. It’s through this work that I really get to help others realize that they don't have to accept a life, relationship or sex life that doesn't work for them.
