Into boardrooms and retreat spaces. Into membership communities and wellness platforms. Into the rooms where women are holding it together and starting to wonder why that's getting harder.
I bring the nervous system layer. The somatic anchor. The part that makes everything else in the room actually land.

The Wild Middle
Perimenopause at work
She has the experience,
the authority, the clarity.
Her nervous system is adapting.
Perimenopause arrives right in the middle of a woman's most powerful years. The hard-won competence, the authority, the perspective — it's all there. What's often missing is the nervous system support that lets her actually access it.
Most workplace programming doesn't reach this layer. It offers symptom management, accommodation, information. What it rarely offers is a framework for what's actually happening — and tools that help women work with the biology rather than against it.
The identity piece is real too. Women at this stage are often in the middle of a quiet reorganization — of who they are, what they'll tolerate, what they're no longer willing to shrink for. That's not a crisis. That's the nervous system doing exactly what it's designed to do when old patterns are ready to be released.
That's the opportunity.
The organizations that get this first won't just retain these women. They'll watch them come
alive.
Women don't just leave with information. They leave having used a tool.
In the room, together — a tool their nervous system actually responds to. Most have never experienced anything like it in a professional context. That's the point.
The method is called EFT tapping — a somatic technique used in trauma-informed practice worldwide. It's simple, it's fast, and it works whether you believe in it or not. No prior experience needed. No woo required. Just a body and a willingness to try something that most people wish they'd found sooner.
What happens in the room
Right now. In the meeting. At their desk.
When Everything Feels Like Too Much
Capacity, overwhelm, and the nervous system at midlife
Why the load that felt manageable five years ago suddenly doesn't, and why "try harder" rarely helps. Women learn to recognize when their system is at capacity and how to help it settle.
The experience
Women choose one real source of overwhelm, rate its intensity from 0 to 10, and tap through it together. Then they rate it again. That before-and-after is often the moment everything clicks.
Ideal for
HR wellness programs, lunch-and-learns, burnout prevention initiatives
Women are navigating one of the biggest transitions of their lives, and it's happening in the middle of the workday.
Talk topics
Still Wild, Just Wiser
The midlife advantage nobody is talking about
Perimenopause lands right when women hold the most experience of their careers. This keynote reframes the transition as a recalibration rather than a decline, and shows what becomes possible when women are supported through it instead of managed around it.
The experience
Tapping into what you already know. A round that names the quiet messages women absorb about aging and relevance, followed by a reclaiming round focused on experience, perspective, and authority.
Ideal for
Leadership events, conferences, International Women's Day
The Quiet Reorganization
What women stop shrinking for at midlife, and why it's good for business
The identity shift at this stage can look like impatience or "not being herself." Underneath, it's clarity about values, boundaries, and priorities. This session gives women language for what's changing and helps leaders see it as an asset.
The experience
A guided silent tapping round. After a spoken setup, women tap privately on whatever they're outgrowing. Private and deep at the same time, it's often the part people talk about afterward.
Ideal for
ERGs, women's networks, leadership development programs
Regulate, Then Lead
Real-time tools for high-pressure moments
The most practical session on the menu. Somatic tools women can use before the presentation, during the hard conversation, or at their desk at 3pm when there's still real work left to do.
The experience
A pocket toolkit. Short rounds for pre-meeting nerves, a discreet version for when you can't tap visibly, and a 60-second afternoon reset. Women practice each one so they leave knowing it by heart.
Ideal for
Lunch-and-learns, team offsites, any group that wants something they can use tomorrow
Workplace talks and
workshops
For workplaces
Women leave with language for what's happening in their body and practical tools they can use immediately. Not later, when they get home.

A membership where practitioners and their communities are doing serious work on their biology. Every two months I come in to bring the nervous system and somatic layer into the conversation, so the biological work has somewhere to land. Invited back as a recurring contributor.

A community centred on energy medicine, frequency therapy and conscious healing. Each month I teach nervous system literacy and lead a live Conscious EFT™ session — a somatic, body-based anchor alongside the frequency work already happening in the space.

I'm regularly invited to facilitate within retreats here, including at Mandala Ojochal — teaching, leading live tapping sessions, and holding space for whatever needs to move. In person, as part of the bigger picture of the retreat rather than beside it.
I also run online integration sessions two to four weeks after a retreat ends, so guests keep using the tools once they're home rather than losing them to the return.

Every week, Carly and I hold a live tapping circle inside our Wild Women Weekly membership — built on the Wild Middle Method™, grounded in polyvagal theory and Conscious EFT™, and held for women navigating perimenopause who don't want to do it alone. This is our room. Everything else I do in other spaces grows from what we built here.

"Ashley was a guest facilitator at my retreat earlier this year, leading a two-hour EFT session that all attendees ranked as one of their favourites. We met ahead of time to make sure the session aligned with the specific demographic and the work we were doing together. Her knowledge, presence and commitment were so valuable to me as the host — I knew I could really lean on her. Ashley has a rare gift for making deep work feel warm and accessible, and that's exactly the energy I wanted the group to feel. She delivered such an impactful session that we're continuing to work with her post-retreat to go even deeper."

"I loved the EFT workshop with Ashley and have already incorporated tapping into my routine and tools at home. She was warm and welcoming and made it very accessible."

If you work with women, lead a membership, host retreats, or hold space where people are doing real work on their health and wellbeing — nervous system education and live EFT facilitation might be exactly what's been missing. Not as a concept. As a direct, felt experience your community gets to have together.
This work is built around what your community actually needs. Format is always flexible. The conversation is where we figure out the fit.
Your people are ready for this layer.
