You're not losing your mind.
You're outgrowing what used to fit.
So Your system Decided to Remodel Without Asking Permission
And now you're standing in the middle of the mess wondering what happened to the woman who used to live here.
I'm Ashley — nervous system practitioner and Certified Conscious EFT™ Practitioner.
I help women navigate the wild middle of midlife — the part where you don't recognize yourself, your patience is shot, and you're pretty sure your nervous system is staging a coup.
Spoiler: It's not a breakdown. It's a becoming. And there's actually a way through that doesn't involve white-knuckling it alone.
A different kind of growth begins here
Here's what I wish someone had told me before my body decided to go full renovation mode:
Perimenopause isn't just hot flashes and irregular periods.
It's crying in your car over a podcast ad. It's rage so sudden you scare yourself. It's brain fog so thick you forget the word for "fork." It's lying awake at 3am with your heart pounding over absolutely nothing.
It's looking in the mirror and thinking, who the hell is she?
And then—because this experience loves irony—it's also random bursts of clarity. Creative energy you haven't felt in years. A bullshit detector that's suddenly very well calibrated.
You're not going crazy. You're not weak. You're not "just stressed."
Your nervous system is trying to tell you something.
And once you learn how to listen? Everything starts to make a different kind of sense.
The Part Nobody Warned You About
Here's the short version: My labs came back showing hormone levels that should have left me bedridden. DHEA nearly at zero. Gut in crisis. The works.
But I wasn't bedridden. I was still working, parenting, building a business.
My doctor's exact words: "The only reason you're still functioning is because of your nervous system work."
All those years of practicing what I'd been teaching—the EFT tapping, the somatic work, the regulation tools—they weren't just "nice to have." They were literally keeping me upright when my biology was failing.
That experience changed how I understand this whole phase of life.
Perimenopause isn't just hormones going haywire.
It's your nervous system trying to process massive change without the support it needs. It's your brain reorganizing—actually reorganizing, like neuroplasticity-level rewiring—while you're still expected to function like a normal human.
No wonder it feels like too much. It IS a lot.
But here's what I've also learned: when you work WITH your nervous system instead of against it, this becomes something completely different.
Not a crisis to survive.
Not a phase to push through.
A portal into who you're actually becoming.
(I know "portal" sounds woo. Stay with me. It's also science.)
I've spent the last several years learning more about the nervous system than I ever expected to—partly through professional training, and partly because my own body gave me no other choice.
What I've Figured Out (The Hard Way)
Here's what I believe:
Your brain is in the middle of one of the most significant neurological reorganizations of your adult life. There's more potential for real change right now than there's been since adolescence.
But here's the catch — and this is the part no one's telling you:
You can't access that potential from survival mode.
When your nervous system is maxed out, when you're running on fumes, when your capacity is this depleted — your brain can't do the rewiring. It's too busy trying to keep you upright.
This is why the supplements aren't working. Why the mindset stuff isn't sticking. Why you can't just "push through" anymore.
Your system needs capacity before it can change.
That's the work. Not thinking your way through. Not optimizing harder. Building the nervous system foundation that lets your brain actually do what it's trying to do...
Here's what I do:
I'm a Certified Conscious EFT™ Practitioner and Emotional Success Coach. Which is a fancy way of saying: I help women work with their nervous systems instead of fighting themselves.
EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) is tapping on acupressure points while you process emotions and beliefs. It sounds weird. It works anyway. There's actually a lot of research on it, but honestly, I don't care if you believe in it—I care if it helps.
What I've built is called The Wild Middle Method™. It's a framework for navigating this phase of life that puts your nervous system first—because I've learned the hard way that nothing else works until that foundation is there.
You can optimize your hormones all day long. If your nervous system is in survival mode, it won't land.
You can do all the mindset work. If your body doesn't feel safe, it won't stick.
Regulation first. Then everything else becomes possible.
5 minutes. Personalized results. A grounded place to begin.
The Four Pillars Assessment shows you where your nervous system is asking for support first — so you stop spinning and start somewhere that actually matters.
Not Sure Where to Start?
EFT has been an unexpected and very welcome practice in my life. When I heard about tapping as a way to regulate my nervous system and to facilitate healing, I was curious and open minded, but didn’t know what to expect.
What I have experienced over the past few months, with Ashley as my guide, has been gentle and consistent transformation. Ashley has created a safe, easy and warm container to explore and identify patterns, and she leads me through them as a gentle and encouraging companion.
I can confidently say that within the past 4 months, I have been able to not only identify certain thoughts and feelings, but to work through them in a deep and meaningful capacity, while feeling calm and present.
I would highly recommend working with Ashley, whether new to EFT or familiar with the process. She is wonderful!

"Tapping has been life-changing, in a gradual and easeful way, thanks to Ashley’s insightful facilitation. I have felt held, seen and completely safe, which I believe is a key component of the success of this practice for me."
"She helped me move through old patterns, thought cycles and find so much expansiveness. Throughout all of our sessions, I felt safe and at ease - no judgement, no embarrassment. It was like talking to a friend, who could reflect my own thoughts back to me in a way that allowed the space and grace to explore them and rewire.
Highly recommend trying a few sessions… this is for anyone and everyone who has ever felt like they’re “all up in their own head during this big time of change!
