Hi! I'm Ashley.
I'm a feminine embodiment coach, Reiki master, mother of three, and founder of Ever You Coaching.
My journey has taught me some big lessons about self care, compassion, forgiveness, and the power of embodied living to create a life that feels good waking up to each morning. But it's bigger than that. When we live and lead from a place of authenticity, we unleash our full potential to build a better world with love and fire.
My Story...what I thought was the beginning
I can't rest til I'm dead." The thought slipped in as I drove to work one morning in 2019, a mother with a one-year-old and living in a new city. I spent my morning drives silently willing myself to be ok. Stressed, anxious, lonely, literally unable to relax, and swirling in anxiety - I wasn't. Months later, that low moment slid a little further as the symptoms of an autoimmune condition that hadn't yet been named started screaming, and I knew I had to make a change.
Fast forward five years. I changed so much to support my health - a meditation practice, addressing food sensitivities, positive thinking, gathering body-calming tools and sprinkling them into my days. I did this while welcoming my second child into the world and the joys and stresses and sleeplessness of early childhood years. I thought it was enough.
In 2022, I became the CEO of a nonprofit and, at the same time, became board president of one of the largest food cooperatives in the country. Shortly after accepting those positions - both of which required leading the organizations through their largest leadership transition in 35 years - I became pregnant with our third child. The timing was less than ideal, but I saw the bright light of this soul when I closed my eyes, and I knew she was meant to be here.
Here's the thing. I'm a driven, ambitious, high-achieving human with a heart to serve. I know in my bones I'm a leader and that I carry the skills to do so. And I watched all of that come to life in these new roles. I loved the work.
But I carried all of my conditioning to these places. I brought my struggles to set healthy boundaries with toxic people. The ingrained American ideal that work comes first, rest later. The unconscious idea that to lead as a woman, I had to somehow make hard choices but without rocking the boat or upsetting anyone. And I had three children age five and under.
I burnt out.
Where my story really began...
A soul-led life
Do I wish I hadn't burned out? Yes. Stepping away from the CEO position to heal felt like failure. But it was also a doorway. For the first time in my life, I realized that no matter where I went once I healed - because the leadership opportunities would be there when I was ready again - I realized that some piece of me would still be hungry for more. So what was that nameless thing I was longing for?
I finally got quiet enough to use my meditation practice and ask my soul why I'm here. This is the answer that rose:
I am here to unlock the sacred voices of the women on this planet.
I decided to follow that whisper.
Your pain is an invitation.
Now, I am a feminine embodiment coach. My coaching method is rooted in neuroscience, somatics, and intuitive coaching. I've seen the transformation in others, and because I also use feminine embodiment practices myself, I know first-hand how powerful this way of being is.
Old energy moves. Forgotten, trapped memories causing physical pain are set free. Situations may not change, but I feel better within them. I can be present with and feel my deepest pain and greatest joy. I'm living with access to the full spectrum of wisdom that is available to me - mind, body, and soul. Had I shown up as this person when stepping into leadership positions, burnout would not have been possible.
The truth is, your pain doesn’t make you broken. Your pain is an invitation. A whisper from your body and your soul that there is more available to you.
This is your invitation to step into that life. Through my flagship, signature coaching journey - Unbridled - you will move from stress and burnout to an embodied, soul-led life.
"Ashley's warmth, ability to hold sacred and safe space, and her intuitive sense provide a powerful coaching container. Anyone who works with her will experience profound shifts in their life and will feel so connected to themselves in the process. It's a true gift to be able to work with Ashley!

There's a line in an old Spanish poem by Antonio Mercado that says, "Walker there is no road, the road is made by walking."
But the road you walk? You're not alone.
No matter what you've faced in the past, the path home to your heart is here now.
Come, sister. Walk with me awhile. Let's see how far you can go.
