Intimacy and Relationship Coaching
Ashley Manta, ABS
Award-winning Relationship Coach & Certified Sexologist
About Me
I’m Ashley Manta, a certified sexologist and relationship coach. I work with couples who keep getting stuck in the same push-pull dynamic and want to feel close again, not just functional. I also support high-functioning women who feel stuck in their heads and want sex and pleasure to feel easier, more natural, and more authentic.
A lot of my clients are successful, thoughtful humans who can run a business, raise kids, or lead a team, and still feel confused, shut down, resentful, or anxious in their most intimate relationships. They want to talk about sex without it turning into a fight. They want to stop bracing for rejection or criticism. They want to ask for what they want without guilt, and they want to stop replaying the same argument for months or years.
My work is sex-positive, consent-forward, trauma-informed, and deeply practical. We’ll work with desire, boundaries, fantasies, orgasm, and repair after conflict, plus the quiet stuff underneath: shame, fear, grief, and the parts of you that learned to protect yourself by shutting down, performing, controlling, or avoiding.
If you’re ready for real conversations, doable tools, and practice that actually changes things between sessions, you’ll feel at home here.
About My Coaching Style
My coaching style is warm, direct, and collaborative. I’m not here to judge you, and I’m also not here to let you keep doing the thing that’s hurting you.
In sessions, I pay attention to what you say and what your nervous system is doing while you say it. We slow down when it matters, especially around shame, fear, and the places you’ve learned to override yourself. I use a parts-informed approach when it’s helpful, meaning we get curious about the protective strategies that show up in intimacy (shutdown, people-pleasing, avoidance, control, spiraling, pursuing, numbing) and we work with them instead of fighting them.
You’ll get a mix of:
-
clear language for hard conversations
-
consent and desire skills you can actually use in real time
-
practical experiments and “home practice” tailored to your life
-
help translating conflict into needs, boundaries, and repair
If you’re a couple, I’m not taking sides. I’m tracking the pattern. If you’re solo, I’m not handing you a script to become a different person. We’re building the version of you who can ask, choose, receive, and stay present.
Your bespoke package includes live Zoom sessions, voice-note support for rapid course corrections, and full access to my on-demand courses for deeper practice.
