Hi I’m Ashley:
Your Guide to Lasting Change
With a background as a Wildland Firefighter, I understand the toll high-stress careers take on the mind and body. After injuries led me to leave firefighting, I pursued aviation, flying Twin Otters worldwide and later piloting corporate jets. But through my own healing journey—exploring NLP, meditation, and ancient Hawaiian healing arts — I discovered my true calling: helping others break through mental and emotional stress to find harmony and empowerment.
Now, as an Integrative NLP Coach and Master Practitioner in Mental & Emotional Release®, I specialize in guiding professionals through personal transformation. Whether you're battling burnout, seeking clarity, or ready for a mindset shift, I’m here to help you reclaim your energy and create the life you want.
Let’s work together—your transformation starts here! Sign up for a call today!
“Through working with Ashley I learned how to create safety in accepting those parts of myself, not making them wrong and instead changing my approach to something with loving-kindness.” - Sarah Kalmeta at Pivot Point International

Let Me Guess.….
You’re highly skilled, trained to perform under pressure, and used to handling high-stakes situations. But when it comes to your personal life and well-being...
You feel like you're constantly in “go mode,” always putting others before yourself.
Slowing down feels impossible—like if you stop, everything might fall apart.
You’ve built a successful career, but the stress, exhaustion, and lack of balance are taking a toll—on your relationships, your health, and your sense of purpose.
Your nervous system is wired for survival, not sustainability. You’re running on adrenaline, but deep down, you know this isn’t sustainable.
Maybe you’ve tried pushing through, ignoring the exhaustion, or even looking into stress management techniques—but nothing seems to stick.
Some days, you wonder, “Is this just how life is? Do I have to sacrifice myself to keep up?”
Here’s the truth: You don’t have to choose between your career and your well-being.
When you regulate your nervous system, you create harmony—not just of your work, but of your entire life.
That’s exactly what we’ll do inside From Chaos to Creation.
Are you ready to shift from survival mode to thriving?
“Ashley has it all - empathy, skills, experience, natural talent and exquisite kindness. She recently guided me through a difficult but ultimately life-changing (for the better) period of growth and change. She helped me to hone a new vision, identify and remove blockages to growth, kept me accountable during the process, and presented myriad new resources and tools when my own skill set was lacking. I am grateful and happy in my current situation and secure in the knowledge that Ashley is there for future challenges. I can’t thank her enough.”
— Kerri Ballard, Retired Alaska Airlines Captain

“I spent many years in traditional therapy attempting to get to the core of my trauma. I never felt comfortable to tell the truth, to go into my childhood to reach deep into the soul and share the darkness that had once troubled me. I did not know how to be honest nor did I know how to be vulnerable. I was tired of talking about the same issue week after week and re-living the trauma. I wanted to dive deeper into the brain, release the trauma, while gaining tools to help through this process.
There were several problems that I got the help to solve. I was molested as young child. It was from 5-7 years old. I carried this secret for 32 years. I did not realize how much this had affected my life, my relationships and how much this played into my drinking and drug use. When I finally spoke to this issue, I was told that it was just an excuse. Then when I was attending traditional therapy it seemed as if we just kept discussing the same issue and reliving the trauma. This trauma with childhood trauma and being raised in broken homes with drinking, yelling and physical abuse at times lead me down a path of two failed marriages, having to leave my daughter, alcohol and drugs do that I did to feel emotions as well as three times I had a pistol to my head wanting to take my life. The third time that I had the pistol in hand and ready to do it, I also threatened a spouse’s life. That was when I knew that I had hit my personal rock bottom and it was time to reach out and get real help to help me feel and control my emotions without alcohol and drugs. What I wanted out of this was to be able to sooth myself. Something that I never had as a kid. To have tools to love myself and be content with myself in all aspects of my mind, body and soul.
Yes, I was looking for tools. I know that I have to do the work and that I have to make the changes. I did not know going into this that the main tool that I have been searching for has been there the whole time. It is my unconscious brain…….”
