Intimacy and Relationship Coaching
Ashley Manta, ABS
Award-winning Relationship Coach & Certified Sexologist
Hi! I’m Ashley.
I work with couples who are tired of getting caught in the same dynamic and want to feel close again in a way that is real, steady, and mutual. I also work with high-achieving women who are ready to get out of their heads and into a more grounded, embodied relationship with intimacy, pleasure, and desire.
My clients are thoughtful, capable people with a great deal on their plate. They know how to show up for work, family, and responsibility. Intimate relationships are often where things get murkier. Sex can start to feel loaded. Conversations get tense fast. Resentment builds. One person pursues, the other shuts down, and before long they are having the same fight in slightly different outfits.
I'm here for the people who are not looking for fluff. You want honest conversation, practical tools, and a way forward that actually fits real life. You want to ask for what they want without spiraling into guilt, defensiveness, or self-abandonment. You want to stop bracing for rejection and start feeling more connected to themselves and each other.
My work is sex-positive, consent-forward, trauma-informed, and deeply practical. We might talk about desire, communication, boundaries, erotic connection, conflict, or repair. We also make space for the quieter forces underneath all of that: shame, fear, grief, old conditioning, and the protective patterns that once made sense but now get in the way.
This work matters because intimacy is not built through insight alone. It has to land in the body. It has to become something you can feel, practice, and return to when things get hard.
Coaching Style
My style is warm, direct, and collaborative. I am here to help you tell the truth more clearly, understand your patterns more deeply, and relate with more intentionality.
I pay attention to language, but I also pay attention to what is happening underneath it. The tightening in your chest. The laugh that shows up right before vulnerability. The moment one of you goes blank, speeds up, gets sharp, or disappears. Those shifts tell us a lot. Instead of judging them, we get curious about what they are protecting and what they might need.
Our work is not about becoming a shinier, more acceptable version of yourself. It is about building the capacity to stay present, ask for what you want, hold a boundary, hear something hard, repair after conflict, and experience more intimacy without losing yourself in the process.
If you come to me as a couple, I am going to be your referee. I am going to track the pattern between you.
If you come on your own, I am not handing you a formula. I am helping you build a relationship with yourself that makes more honesty, more connection, and better choices possible.
