Instructor Bio
Dr. Alison Ash, aka Dr. Aly, is a trauma-informed intimacy coach and educator, Stanford University Lecturer, author, and founder of TurnON.love. As a sociologist with a PhD from Stanford, she has a comprehensive understanding of the complex societal challenges that often lead to unsatisfying and disempowering intimate experiences. She has helped pioneer research into the orgasm gap and has written on topics ranging from pleasure in heterosexual dynamics to queer and trans identities and experiences. She also draws on her extensive training in Hakomi Mindful Somatic Psychotherapy, Innate Somatic Intelligence Trauma Therapy Approach, and Somatica Method of sex and intimacy coaching to support her clients to radically explore and courageously express themselves. Dr. Aly designs workshops, courses, and retreats and offers individuals and couples coaching to give others the tools to be able to cultivate and sustain nourishing emotional and sexual intimacy.
Reviews from Workshop Participants
"This class changed my life, I am such a different person than I was 2 months ago! I now own my sexual desires, have found an amazing sexual partner, and am exploring new forms of pleasure. I have started to cultivate healthier relationships with my family, friends, and partner!” – S.S.
“It can often be very challenging for POC to feel safe in such vulnerable environments, but I can't emphasize enough how incredibly informed and compassionate Dr. Aly is, and how safe I felt in the space she clearly worked very hard to curate. I would recommend this class a thousand times over to anyone.” – J.G.
“The digital zoom format works really well for this topic, perhaps is even better than in-person, as you feel safe to engage as much or as little as you want in any activity. Hearing other viewpoints from a very diverse group of participants helped universalize our own experiences during interactive portions. We can't speak highly enough of this course!" - M.H. and B.H.
“I have found myself using many of the tools I learned not only with my partner, but also with friends, family members, and even colleagues at work. The discussion groups allowed me to practice new skills and helped me feel a lot less alone. I frequently find myself referring to the course handouts when I am experiencing something challenging in my life.” - D.A.
"We found ourselves in these deep conversations we'd previously avoided--and equipped with tools for compassionately navigating them. Dr. Aly encouraged us to verbalize our desires, and when we started communicating these more, we found our time in the bedroom to be sexier.” B.H. and M.H.
