Reviews from Dr. Aly's Workshop Participants

“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.

“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 workshop 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.

“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.

Sexual and Emotional Intimacy Skills Mastercourse (recordings also available)

Tuesdays, January 27th-March 17th on Zoom

Creating a pleasure-filled sex life and emotionally secure relationships can feel elusive and frustrating. We all receive messages about who we are supposed to be, how we ought to feel, and how we should express ourselves that is often enforced through shame, silence, and disconnection. Without guidance in essential intimacy skills, these internalized messages leave us approaching connection with self-doubt, awkwardness, and anxiety.

Whether you’re exploring new connections or deepening a relationship, this course provides a supportive, shame-free environment that will transform your capacity for nourishing sex and thriving relationships.
