Do you both find yourselves struggling with being stuck in …
A sense that life and love feel monotonous?
Autopilot mode only connecting over the details of life like work, kids, and family?
Fears about how much work you might need to do as a couple in order to stay together?
Or your own inner monologue that says you won’t ever feel the burn of desire again. Maybe even the pervasive worry it’s because YOU are undesirable?
Meet Ashley Batistick,
Your Couple’s Coach and Guide Back to Desire
I’m a passionate advocate for your partnership and the passion you two could have for one another.
Consider me your fire starter and flame keeper.
I can teach you how to hold space around the sacred flame of your relationship, which in turn, helps you both tend to your individual fires that lead to the burn you long for.
I’ve been a psychotherapist and coach for more than a decade, and much of my work has been devoted to helping couples heal and reconnect. (Fun fact: I’m also a culinary trained chef. I’ve been tending fires in more ways than one for a long time).
I’m here to help you rediscover the power of desire and what that means for you — both as a couple and as individuals.
My advanced training in Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy (which includes more than 50 hours of professional supervision & training), in addition to a master’s degree in depth psychology, helps shape how I work. You can learn more about my background and practice here.
Lasting, Satisfying Relationships Need Emotional Attachment and the Power of Desire
We need to feel secure and seen in our primary relationship. That’s absolutely fundamental. But, lasting satisfying relationships depend on more than just safety and affection. Lasting, satisfying relationships also need a healthy dose of desire. When I talk about desire, I don’t just mean your physical chemistry and sex. Desire is so much more than that.
“Desire is your ability to access your life force that is in search of wholeness. The knowing that you are fundamentally good and also something worth fighting for.”
Desire is also …
The power to want and be wanted, to grow and to be part of the growth of our beautiful, abundant world.
Over the years I’ve learned a lot about how attachment – or the lack of security in relationships – can directly impact one's ability to be connected to what they desire and the good humans they can know themselves to be. Our work is about finding that sense of security so you’re both free to access it for one another and for this one precious, beautiful life of yours.
