What would you do if anything was possible? 

What big DREAMS would you follow?

If fear didn’t exist, what could you accomplish?

If you lived unapologetically as YOU, who would YOU be?

What would you say YES to? What would you say NO to?

What IMPACT would you make on the world?

What CAREER would you have?

What BUSINESS or PASSION project would you launch?

How would you use your VOICE?

Who would you surround yourself with?

How much FUN would you have?

Hey there...

I’m Ashley, and I'm a survivor, national speaker, activist, author, nonprofit founder, business owner, travel enthusiast, foodie, adventurer, and then some! I'm also a certified life coach, CBT practitioner, business coach, and personal mentor for women who want more out of their lives and careers (or like me, want it all).

If you’re here, my guess is you’re seeking more for your life too. You feel, in your heart, that something bigger is meant for you. (And perhaps, like me, this has even come from a place of trauma or pain). You desire growth, confidence, self-discovery, and EXPANSION. You're ready for your next chapter. You're ready to thrive. The question then becomes: what now and how?

Perhaps you share a similar path to mine as a...

  • Survivor of domestic violence or sexual assault
  • Survivor of emotional abuse, trauma, and loss
  • Chronic people pleaser, box checker, or perfectionist

And like me, maybe you also....

  • Woke up with a deep desire to transform your life
  • Feel called to something greater and more purposeful
  • Know your story can make an impact
  • Have new, even massive, life and business dreams and can't wait to achieve them

 

The good news is... everything you desire can be yours. Why? Because something in your life has caused you to deeply and desperately want it. There is power and purpose hidden within our hardships, heartaches, trauma, breakups and breakdowns. They reveal to us what we want and what we deserve. Welcome to your next chapter.

"Sometimes, there is no reason whatsoever other than the simple truth that the Universe just wants to watch you bloom."

-April Green

Skeptical? Here's my transformation story.

I spent 6 years as a victim of repeated domestic and sexual violence, along with many other personal traumas. I lacked self-esteem, boundaries, and a voice. I ended up broke, a college dropout, and homeless.

Then, I was physically attacked by my partner when I tried to escape. I was at rock bottom. Alone in the world, penniless, without support and with zero direction. I felt hopeless. Why me? Why did bad things always happen to me? I felt like I was just destined to struggle.

Yet worse than the abuse was this… I suddenly realized I had no idea who I was. I’d thrown away my goals. I didn’t even know my own interests, passions, or abilities. I’d somehow become invisible to myself, people-pleasing and self-sacrificing, in a cycle of toxic relationships for so long.

In an instant, I was fed up. Standing outside of a courthouse, I made the decision to transform my entire life. I was determined to rewrite my story, make up for lost time, and not only survive, but thrive

Through healing and taking action… my life transformed beyond my wildest dreams. I found joy, confidence, strength and ambition. I found my voice, and I found my purpose. 

Today, I’m an international speaker on abuse prevention. I travel the world making an impact and income doing what I love. I’m also an award-winning activist, nonprofit founder, author, coach and social entrepreneur. I went from college dropout to Valedictorian. I took on leadership roles. I achieved goals I never knew were possible for me.

And this is why I’m also a certified and trained coach, helping you now on your path… to help you rewrite your story and receive all that you desire and deserve too. Because if I can, so can you.

It is us who have once gone without, who are now positioned to have it all.

Now, it's your turn...

It’s time to ditch what’s holding you back from all that you want.

Your next chapter is about reclamation - reawakening to who you are and what you want. It's time you reclaim your power, reimagine what’s possible, and redesign your whole life.

No more... Feeling stuck, unclear, and unmotivated. Feeling alone and misunderstood. Feeling unsure of what you want. Putting everyone else first. Being ruled by relationships. Saying yes when you want to say no. Struggling to speak up. Going through the motions, bored AF. Perfectionism and self-doubt getting in your way. Wasting away your potential. Waiting, waiting, waiting... for these big dreams to finally happen. Craving your next level, but having no clue how to get there. This whole feeling stuck and playing small thing, is not what your life is meant to be

This is a return to YOU.

Everything you want can be yours, now.

ARE YOU READY TO...

Reinvent your life and rewrite your story.

Have clarity in what you want. Feel renewed, energized, and excited.  Feel wildly confident and empowered. Use your voice. Live boldly and authentically as YOU.

Heal old wounds. Reclaim your power. Rewire, reprogram, and realign to feel liberated, free, unstoppable and wildly believe in yourself.

Pursue your passions. Live your purpose. Quickly achieve your goals. Attract new opportunities and abundance. Increase your impact, influence, and income. 

Live a life built on self-care and self-love. Set boundaries. Ditch toxicity. Attract supportive friends and partners. 

Adventure through life. See the world. Challenge your comfort zone. Achieve crazy goals. Feel unstoppable. Have fun, damnit!

This is the rise! This is your powerful after-story. This is the power of this moment.

“...the stars began to burn through the sheets of clouds, and there was a new voice which you slowly recognized as your own.”

-Mary Oliver

Here's how I'll serve as your personal coach, guiding you to achieve your goals!

  • 9 sessions @ 60 minutes each - fully personalized to you and your goals! We'll achieve clarity on what you want and actively embark on a plan to get there. You'll have my full support for 3 months with the option to renew!
  • Welcome workbook to help identify your top goals and desires. This ensures that our time together is clear and focused on getting the results you desire, and that our sessions make actual progress toward your goals.
  • Follow-up notes after each session with takeaways and reflections to anchor in our work. So much growth and awareness comes from "processing," which means these notes become essential.
  • Assignments and custom resources to complete between sessions. These will help support your transformation and growth, as well as make tangible progress on any life goals, e.g. writing prompts, readings, biz tasks, etc.
  • Hands-on support and a step-by-step action plan for business-related needs if applicable. I'm here to offer you my hands-on skill set, review materials, and support you as much as I can. By creating a plan, we'll ensure tangible growth for your business.

Of all the mentors, why me?

Facetune_17-01-2021-15-48-05

I've spent more than a decade coaching all kinds of people — with transitioning after abuse, relationships, confidence, business and career, self-care, nutrition and wellness, speaking, communications, leadership and influence. The list goes on.

With me, you get my heartfelt life wisdom plus my uniquely multi-skilled background. In other words, you get proven holistic coaching and gain tangible skills. Also...

I deeply understand you. I’ve been where you are. I get it. You’ll be heard, understood, and validated.

I bring specialized guidance as a known expert in survivor advocacy, trauma recovery, mental health and women’s empowerment with more than 14 years of experience.

I’m highly certified and trained as a Certified Life Empowerment Coach, Victim Advocate, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) practitioner. I have extensive training in trauma recovery, child trauma, rape crisis advocacy, and supporting LGBTQ+, BIPOC, male and non-cis survivors. I’m also seriously self-trained in inner child and shadow work, mindfulness, spiritual and holistic healing.

I offer comprehensive business coaching… I’ve coached and/or spearheaded more than 100+ startups, entrepreneurs, speakers, businesses, nonprofits, and major events. (No joke). I have a background in business development, marketing, public relations, and communications, which means we can turn your career/passions into purpose and profits.

Or you can...

Keep trying on your own. Keep wasting money on self-help books, online courses, and therapists and coaches that just aren’t helping. Be frustrated as each day passes without any change. 

If you’re still in the same position six months from now, a year from now, or longer, will this be okay with you? How much time, money, energy, and tears will you have spent? 

My biggest pain point is seeing you remain in the shadows. This moment is yours… to rise, receive abundance, fulfill your purpose, and become your most powerful self. For us women, we’re so used to people-pleasing and playing small. It’s about damn time we discover who we are.

Are you ready to stop dreaming of “that future day?” Are you ready to finally commit to your next level, and to making it all happen now?

Your challenge begins... Are you ready today to finally put yourself first?

There is a ‘you’ that you haven't even met yet… let’s find her, introduce her to you, and to the world.

Still deciding?

Here's some FAQ's

DO I NEED TO HAVE EXPERIENCED RELATIONSHIP TROUBLES?
Not at all. Even if we share different pasts, transformation is for everyone. If what I say resonates, then I’m here for you. I believe that we cross paths for a reason. When you’re ready, guidance appears. So if you’re here, perhaps you’re meant to be. Apply now and tell me about you. Or, let’s hop on a call to decide if it’s a good fit.

WHO IS NOT A GOOD FIT FOR THIS?
There are few people I won’t help, though I do have some non-negotiables. I expect those that work with me to be committed. This includes being on time for sessions, adhering to payment plans, and completing assignments. This also includes making a personal commitment to being coachable and to bring a sincere desire to learn and grow. I may decline to work with those who are struggling with severe post-traumatic stress or mental health issues. There is a timeline and process to healing. In the case that I feel coaching and our work is too soon, I will let you know. I will always be here when you’re emotionally ready. *Therapy can be done in tandem with my coaching.

WHAT TYPE OF SUPPORT DO YOU OFFER ABUSE SURVIVORS?
First, I’m a survivor myself… so I bring complete compassion and understanding to what you are going through. Professionally, my entire background is in abuse prevention and response. If you’re moving forward after any type of abuse (emotional, physical, or sexual), I’ll help you gain an understanding of your past experiences, and help you work to stop any lingering impacts this has on your present life. My approach varies based on your needs, but could include emotional release work, journaling, mastering inner dialogue, etc. This will allow you to transcend your experience and powerfully move forward as a survivor, and ultimately, a thriver. I can also help you tell your story if that inspires you. *If you’re going through a court battle, I can offer specialized navigation and support that your attorney/victim advocate can’t commit to providing to you.

WHAT IS YOUR COACHING STYLE AND METHODS?
I offer highly personalized coaching, which means I’m not taking you through some canned pre-planned coaching model. Instead, I cater my support to YOU, where you are, and what you need. My guidance will pull from a variety of modalities, including mindfulness, meditation, journaling, shadow work, emotions and thought management, among other self-compassion, self-awareness, healing and awakening practices.

WHAT TYPES OF CERTIFICATIONS AND TRAINING DO YOU HAVE?
In additional to my life experiences, I am a Certified Life Empowerment Coach, and certified in Victim Advocacy and Rape Crisis Advocacy. I’m also a Certified Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) Practitioner. My training includes Trauma-Informed Recovery and Response, Child Trauma, Supporting LGBTQ+, BIPOC, Male and Non-Cis Survivors, and Alternative Therapies for Healing Trauma. I’m also extensively self-trained in Shadow Work, Inner Child, Self-Healing, Emotional Release Work, and holistic healing.

I’M CURRENTLY WORKING WITH A THERAPIST. CAN I WORK WITH YOU TOO?
Yes, therapy is a great supplement while working with a life and empowerment coach. Many who have experienced trauma or hardship utilize both on their healing and reclaiming journey.

WHAT IS THE COST FOR THIS PROGRAM?
Check back when openings become available.

HOW DOES PAYMENT WORK? ARE THERE PAYMENT PLANS?
I currently offer two options. Pay-in-full is a one time up front payment, offering my coaching for the best possible price. You also have the option to split this into two automatic payments. Your first payment must be made before our work together begins.

DO I NEED PRIOR EXPERIENCE WITH SPIRITUAL OR MINDSET WORK?
Not at all. I bring elements of spiritual guidance into my work, however you do not need an understanding of any of it. I’ll guide you in highly practical and effective ways - and teach you as much or as little as you’d like to learn along the way. 

DO YOU ONLY WORK WITH WOMEN?
I work with WOMXN - anyone who identifies as female. I’ll also work with persons of other gender identities if I feel my coaching is a fit. I have experience with survivors of all identities and backgrounds, though if I feel there is a coach better suited for you, I will gladly offer recommendations and referrals to other coaches within my network.

HOW MUCH TIME WILL I NEED TO COMPLETE ASSIGNMENTS BETWEEN SESSIONS?
After each session, I’ll prescribe different practices and assignments to anchor in our work together. This can vary from journaling to getting outdoors or meditating. (I will challenge you to try new things, but don’t worry - I won’t ever force you). The time commitment will never be extensive. For example, journaling often takes roughly one hour max of your time per week. I’ll also recommend books to read at your own pace.

CAN I CONTACT YOU BETWEEN OUR SESSIONS?
Yes! I offer 24/7 email access for support between our sessions together. Please allow at least 24 hours for a reply. If there is ever an emergency, you are urged to contact law enforcement, a hotline, your therapist, etc.

IF SOME OF MY GOALS ARE BUSINESS-RELATED, HOW CAN YOU HELP ME HERE?
I’ve had a super eclectic career - building my own businesses, nonprofits, and philanthropic initiatives, plus helping countless others turn their dreams into real-life success stories. I also have a specialized background in public relations, communications, and executive leadership. I’ve coached in the areas of: Startups and Entrepreneurship, Nonprofit Leadership, Career Growth, Public Speaking, Marketing and Branding, Public Relations, Communications, Executive Leadership, Policy and Advocacy, Social Entrepreneurship. There’s… a lot of skills in there. I’ve worn all the hats.

I AM ONLY LOOKING FOR BUSINESS COACHING. DO YOU OFFER THIS?
If my schedule allows for this kind of support, then absolutely, yes! Our time together can 100% focus on your business. If you’re someone who has specific needs and likes to learn and come up with a plan fast, you can also book a full day intensive with me.
