MyStory

Fuck mediocrity, WE deserve magic

Certified Menopause Coach | Trauma-Informed Guide | Fierce Protector of Women Remembering Who They Are

Hey, I’m Ashley

 

And if you’re asking yourself...

“Who is this woman trying to talk to me about my life, my body, or my healing?”
“Is she even qualified?”
“Can I trust her?”

Fair questions.

If you're here hoping I’ll hand you a step-by-step plan for how to fix your life, I’ll be honest: that’s not what I do.

What I will do is walk beside you—fiercely, compassionately—as you remember how to trust yourself again and begin navigating your life from the truth within you.

I Believe You Already Know What You Need

 

But life—trauma, expectations, motherhood, menopause, perfectionism—has a way of making us forget.

If you’ve been living for everyone but yourself…
If you’ve been doing all the “right” things but still feel off…
If you’re in midlife wondering, “Where the hell did I go?”—
You're not alone.

My Wake-Up Call

 

In 2019, I watched The Wisdom of Trauma by Dr. Gabor Maté, and everything shifted.

I saw myself. I saw my boys. I ugly cried through the whole thing and made a promise to learn everything I could about trauma, healing, and breaking generational patterns.

Six months later, I began a life-changing year-long training in Compassionate Inquiry with Dr. Maté and Sat Dharam Kaur (who also became my therapist). That journey cracked me wide open.

My Training & Experience

 

Since then, I’ve immersed myself in trauma, somatics, and menopause work:

✅ Certified in Compassionate Inquiry
✅ Certified in Trauma-Informed Integrative Somatic Parts Work
✅ Certified in Trauma-Informed Attachment Theory
✅ Certified Menopause Coach
✅ Plus: I’ve trained in Polyvagal Theory, Internal Family Systems, somatic experiencing, historical trauma, epigenetics, nervous system regulation, and more

But none of that matters if I haven’t done the work myself—and believe me, I have. I don’t just talk the talk. I’ve lived this.

Why Menopause?

 

Because midlife is the great unraveling—and the great awakening.

Your hormones are shifting. Your identity is changing. And all the old stories you’ve been carrying are rising to the surface.

You’re not losing it. You’re waking up.
And this? This is your invitation to come home to yourself.

As a certified menopause coach with deep trauma-informed experience, I help you:

  • Untangle what’s hormonal vs. emotional

  • Understand your nervous system

  • Reconnect to your truth

  • Reclaim the vibrant, wise, powerful woman within

So… Who Am I Really?

 

I’m not a guru. I’m not your fixer.
I’m the safe place you can finally exhale.
The guide who listens without judgment.
The woman who’s walked through her own fire—and came out clear, soft, and strong.

Am I qualified? Yes, in more ways than one.
Can you trust me? I believe you’ll feel that answer in your gut.

 

Let’s See If We’re a Good Fit

 

Before working together, I offer a free, no-pressure intro call.
No awkward sales pitch. Just a real conversation to see if this is your next right step.

You’re not broken. You’re becoming.

And I’d be honored to walk with you through this beautiful, messy, transformational season.

Ash
