Nervous System Expansion & Emotional Success Coach | EFT Practitioner  | Two-time Entrepreneur | Bread-Baking Mom of Two

I’ve rebuilt my life more than once—across continents, careers, and identities.

I began my career as a teacher—first teaching English in Asia in my early twenties, fresh out of university, and later working in the public school system in Ontario, Canada as a kindergarten teacher.

Then I co-owned a CrossFit gym with my husband, building something from the ground up.

Now, I live in Costa Rica with our two kids, leading a business rooted in emotional clarity, nervous system resilience, and soul-aligned growth.

Each chapter taught me how to let go of what no longer fits—and how to build something more honest in its place.

Now, I help others do the same.



Hi! I'm Ashley

I have lived in North America, Asia, Australia, and I am currently living in Central America. Once upon a time I was a Kindergarten teacher! I then owned and operated a CrossFit gym with my hubby and now I work with amazing people who are living Intentionally.

Interesting Facts:

In the water... at the beach or in a jungle river, on coaching calls with my delightful clients, and making dinner!

YOU CAN FIND ME:

Making room for pleasure, beauty, and fun! Working with archetypes like Dharma archetypes, astrology, and human design, and the value in feminine connection and community. 

I BELIEVE IN:

My superpower is holding a steady presence where people feel deeply seen, safely heard, and able to hear themselves more clearly than ever before.
In that presence, something shifts—not because I give answers, but because their own wisdom finally has room to rise.

We’ve been taught that healing means fixing.

We’ve been taught that healing means fixing.
That success is earned through effort.
That clarity comes after we’ve “done enough” shadow work.

But what I’ve seen again and again—both in my own life and in the lives of my clients—is this:

The real shift happens not when we heal more...
but when we build the capacity to hold what’s already good.

The joy.
The visibility.
The stillness.
The clarity.
The next-level success that feels too big to let in.

This is the heart of my work:
Helping people feel safe inside the very things they say they want—so they stop shrinking at the edge of their own expansion.

How I Work

I’m not here to fix you.
I’m here to help you create internal conditions where ease, steadiness, and self-trust can take root.

I use:

Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT)
Conscious EFT™
Trauma-informed coaching principles
Somatic safety practices
And grounded, attuned presence

My sessions are where your nervous system finally gets to exhale—
not because you’ve arrived, but because you’ve paused long enough to hear your own truth.





Who I Support

I work with thoughtful, driven people—founders, creatives, and leaders—who are often holding more than most people realize.

They’re not looking for a quick fix.  
They’re looking for real steadiness. For space to breathe. For someone who sees beneath the surface and helps them hold what matters—without collapsing under the weight of it.

If that sounds like you, you’re in the right place.

More About Me

I’ve called four continents home

I’ve walked away from things that looked successful on the outside but felt misaligned on the inside

I’m a bread-baking mom of two, a lifelong learner, and someone who strives to lead with curiosity, not judgment

And I believe that personal growth should feel spacious, not punishing



People stop outsourcing their power to “fix-it” frameworks

Nervous system work is foundational—not a luxury

We give love, acceptance and forgiveness to all parts of ourselves and start expanding into our joy

Success is held—not chased

And healing is not just about what we’ve survived, but living a life we are excited about

My Vision

The Work I Do (and Why It Matters)

the training behind my work

My approach is rooted in deep professional training and years of integrated practice. I hold an Honours Bachelor’s Degree, a Postgraduate Diploma in Education, and certifications from multiple coaching programs, including a prior foundational certification before pursuing advanced trauma-informed work.

Most recently, I completed a comprehensive, year-long dual certification through the National Emotional Freedom Techniques Training Institute (NeftTI)—Canada’s leading EFT education body. This intensive program, known for its depth and rigour, combines evidence-based neuroscience, trauma-informed coaching methodology, and a four-phase model of Conscious EFT™.

Through this training, I became a Certified Conscious EFT™ Practitioner and a Certified Emotional Success Coach™, learning not only to facilitate tapping, but to guide clients through meaningful, regulated, and lasting nervous system change.

This work is backed by science. It’s grounded in lived experience. And it’s held with precision, care, and presence—so that when you work with me, you’re supported by both expertise and embodiment.
