Words of praise for Dr. Aly’s classes and teaching style

 
 
 
 
“When you watch Dr. Aly do what she does you’ll quickly understand that she was born for this work. I’ve attended 5 of Dr. Aly’s workshops so far and all of them exceeded my expectations. I show up interested in one topic, but when I leave I have also learned 10 other mind-blowing things I didn’t anticipate learning.
The other surprising thing is how much fun these workshops are. You might imagine some of these workshop topics would be challenging, awkward, or tense, but no, they are all full of ease, lightness and laughter.
I cannot imagine all of the beautiful ways that human beings will relate to one another a hundred years from now, but I expect that our descendants will look back and see Dr. Aly as one of the trailblazers who helped us all evolve and find our way.”

“Dr. Aly brings a wealth of knowledge to her workshops and takes a comprehensive approach, providing guiding principles and frameworks to organize your thinking on the topic, specific examples and actionable advice, and hands-on exercises to help you internalize what’s being covered.
She’s very willing to answer participant questions as they come up during the workshop. And she’s friendly, approachable and caring, and her commitment to helping people experience interactions and relationships that are both full of passion and comfortable and consensual for all involved is evident throughout.”
— S.J.
“Dr. Aly’s class gave me superb options for interacting healthfully with lovers and with people in general. She gave me great tools that I have been using since that have really helped me to be honest about my feelings and desires with myself and with my partner.
Practicing her exercises helped me to be brave enough to ask for what I really want, and to say no graciously and lovingly to things I do not want.
I highly recommend her classes to anyone seeking fearless intimacy and sexy self-assurance in the bedroom.”

“Dr. Aly embodies the dream of 21st Century sexuality: non-judgmental and radically optimistic about the power of sex to transform us in brilliant, healthy, and exciting ways. A born educator and brilliant communicator, Dr. Aly lifts the veil, diving deeply into power and desire while demystifying the etiquette and culture surrounding polyamory, sex parties, and kink.
Her workshops effortlessly incorporate touch, validation, humor, and introspection, as well as dozens of concrete facts, tips and techniques. The result is a refreshing breath of insight and frankness in an arena traditionally governed by innuendo, normativity, and new-agey hocus pocus.
To learn from her is to experience again and again the kind of “a-ha” moments that make you realize that you’re not alone in your doubts and insecurities. I leave each class feeling informed, empowered, and excited to explore further.
Now, when friends in the Bay Area ask me how to get into polyamory, explore play parties, spice up their marriages, or simply rediscover the transcendent joys of sexuality, I immediately and confidently recommend Dr. Aly.”

  • “Dr. Aly’s teaching continues to inform the ways I am in intimate relationships - with my romantic partners, casual hook-ups, platonic friendships, and more. I am consistently drawing upon the tangible skills she has given me to communicate my desire, honor transparency, and co-create safety with another person.”

    — S.M.

  • “I don’t believe my wife and I ever got to know each other better in a shorter amount of time than when watching your class. We were both raised to feel shame and not talk about that part of our lives. We now feel like we can be open and talk about anything.”

    — B.F.

  • “If you want an accessible, inspiring, fascinating and safe space to explore intimacy, bodies and connection, I highly recommend these workshops. Dr. Aly has a unique ability to bring knowledge, humor, and support. I've attended 3 and each one has been a game changer in amazing and surprising ways.”

    — J.G.

  • “Dr. Aly’s compassion and confidence puts rooms of strangers at ease, even while her workshops take you boldly to the most intimate of places. With her expert knowledge, personal skills and creative approaches, she is a gifted facilitator and guide.”

    — J.W.

  • "Dr. Aly helped clarify ways my husband and I were missing out on juicy opportunities to tease and please each other. Her workshop opened my eyes to things that I didn’t think would ever be for me, and my man and I are having more fun than ever."

    — A.P.

  • “I've taken two workshops led by Dr. Aly. Each has been captivating, informative, interactive, and fun. She has given us the tools and confidence to explore previously uncharted territory and forge a deeper connection. Nearly a year later, we are still referencing the invaluable resources from her class.”

    — J.D.

  • “Dr. Aly brings a wealth of knowledge to her workshops and takes a comprehensive approach, providing guiding principles and frameworks to organize your thinking on the topic, specific examples and actionable advice, and hands-on exercises to help you internalize what's being covered.”

“Dr. Aly is a phenomenal teacher and is able to talk about sexual topics in an open and fun manner without it feeling awkward.
Before attending her classes I did not realize how little I knew. We all have so much potential to be a great lover and have an amazing sex but 99% of people do not have the information and tools and techniques of how to get there.
Dr. Aly seems to magically have all the answers. This is not just information, you will have actual habits and actions you can incorporate into your life the minute you walk out of the class.
Dr. Aly has enabled me to better connect with my girlfriend in both an emotional and physical manner and has brought us closer together in our relationship.”
— P.B.
““Dr. Aly is a passionate, skilled, fun and highly effective teacher and facilitator. Her workshops always give me truly important new skills and tools around sexuality, love and partnership that I have used over and over in relationships of all kinds.
She has helped me gain a much deeper understanding of myself, including what I want in my relationships and what turns me on, as well as how to communicate better with my partners and ensure that both of our needs and desires are met.
Dr. Aly has a huge heart and a deep well of passion for giving and changing the world through her work. I never hesitate to jump on any new workshop Dr. Aly develops because she has such unique knowledge and perspective to offer, and I continue to play with, explore and learn from everything she has given me.”
— T.S.
“Dr. Aly led a workshop on Feminism in the Bedroom for our team of sexual health innovators from around the country. Although they were experienced providers of sexual health services — leading programs from the Navajo nation to rural Mississippi to San Francisco — they learned so much during the workshop.
We walked away with more wisdom about our own sexual health, the real skills that enable communication about consent, and the ways in which we all (not just teenagers) have a lot to learn about safe and good sex.
We hope to put this skill and knowledge to work in our design of sexual health innovations with IDEO.”
— C.C.
“Dr. Aly is unmatched in the enthusiasm, passion, and thoughtfulness she brings to the creation of workshop content. She creates and maintains a safe space for playful exploration and clear boundaries, reinforced through discussion and exercises that empower individuals to discover their authentic ‘YES!’
Dr. Aly rejoices in the sexual wins and breakthroughs of her clients. I have witnessed her work be especially powerful and transformative for survivors of sexual trauma.
Dr. Aly’s work is inviting to queers and kinksters (such as myself) and poly couples/groups as much as it celebrates hot ‘vanilla’ sex. Her warmth, enthusiasm, and endless curiosity is refreshing to ‘workshop warriors’ and eases the nerves of novice workshop participants.”
