If you feel alone and defeated, there’s still a place for you. If you feel scared and unsure, there’s still a place for you. If you feel unclear and impatient, there’s still a place for you. If you feel like you’re just doing the same thing...What I loved most about the Portugal retreat was learning about myself and what is possible.
During the retreat I learned a lot about my fear and how it was showing up. I was able to see where I was hiding and wasting time. Very helpful indeed.
I loved how Ashley shows up with consistency, every single day. She showed up with a steady, motivating, unobtrusive and calm force every morning. This was probably the strongest detail contributing to my successful retreat. I also loved sharing this experience with the small group of women who worked really hard to get here, and to be kind and mindful. The energy and peaceful location only added to the beautiful experience.
Tanya McLean: Mother | Portland, Oregon
I now focus on something bigger than myself, and think/act from a place of service.
I commit to the work in order to develop and further become the woman I want.
Prior to Ashley’s retreat in Portugal, life was hard, scary, overwhelming and confusing. I was at a big crossroads in my personal life and had some hard decisions to make.
This retreat and the wonderful community of women were exactly what I needed to move through difficulty. I love the friendships made, new opportunities and Ash’s guided meditations.
Thank you so much, Ash.
Krista Green: Strategic Systems Analyst | Denver, Colorado
I now have tools to help me work through fear, and that’s really powerful.
Ashley and the Portugal retreat helped me realize that every woman struggles with the same things. I loved hearing the stories everyone shared and am in awe at how quickly these strangers became friends. I also loved learning about mindfulness and the importance of a daily practice.
I feel connected again to my life’s purpose and have one sentence to sum up what that is.
Thank you, Ashley and all the women.
Nina Gilmore | Hoehenkirchen-Siegertsbrunn, Germany
Working with Ashley helped me write one powerful and concise sentence to sum up my life’s purpose.
This has infused my life with significant energy as I’m spending less questioning who I am, and more giving to the world.
What I love about her work is the real community, support and connection between the women. Thank you, Ash!
Nicole Fitzhugh: Producer | Portland, Oregon
I’ve deepened my connection to who I really am, my spirit and something bigger than myself.
Prior to working with Ashley during her Portugal retreat, I was stuck and lost. There was a deep sense of hopelessness.
I’ve learned that I can’t do everything on my own, and I’m really ok with that.
One of my biggest breakthroughs is a connection back to something bigger, more powerful than my own mind. I loved learning about fear and am happy to now have tools to work through that emotion. Fear is not the truth, it’s just an emotion.
Ashley – this is the BEST retreat experience I’ve experienced. Thank you so much.
Renee Marin: Consultant | Executive | Santa Barbara, California
Ashley picks me up from where I am and guides me with her intuition.
I didn’t know what I wanted. I felt small and was living without impact.
I have learned that I am good enough and to give myself the emotional support I need.
My purpose is to be and serve myself and others as best I can in every moment.
I am now doing everything with love. The quality of my trainings have become better and I am clear on what I want.
I love to teach Yoga and have started to integrate more of what is important to me and my values.
Christina Hambach: Corporate Management, Yoga Teacher | Hessen, Germany
My mindset has shifted from victim to empowered.
Before Ashley’s Portugal retreat, I was in victim/self-pity mode because life had become constant and complex with health issues and pain.
The retreat, Ashley, and the other women helped me transform.
I now focus on what IS working, and have stopped complaining.
I believe my body can do a lot, and am committed to my daily practice more than ever.
I realize that I am my life’s purpose, and I can never lose this. I am so grateful.
Becky LeBright: Counselor, Coach | Seattle, Washington
I now have practical tools for personal development and manifesting new habits.
Ashley’s intuition and caring way of dealing with challenges helped me get out of feeling hopeless and depressed.
I even have a clear business idea which is inline with my deepest desire of “being the voice for those who don’t have one”.
Cornelia Schanda: Founder of Anthrapink, Mother | Forchheim, Germany
Prior to this retreat I was really confused and frustrated. I wanted to know more of myself but didn’t know how.
My biggest breakthroughs while on retreat in Portugal with Ashley:
I loved the location, badass meditations and having this retreat be a full sensory experience.
Michaela Kompernass | Essen, Germany
I loved the takeaways after every call!
I was less grounded, more chaotic, and unable to separate what I wanted with my impulsivity.
Working with Ashley, I was able to get very clear with my strengths, and became less anxious (when I’m not fired up with ideas!).
Now I am more calm around decisions and changes, with less judgement, and more consistency.
Sarah Dunn: Entrepreneur, Strategist | Founder of Big Picture Project | Co-Founder of Evident Impact | Denver, Colorado
Ashley’s intuition is powerful. She always has the right words and a helpful message.
Before I met Ashley, I was very lost and confused. I felt frozen and afraid.
Learning to pay attention to my emotions, take time for me, write for healing and be kind to myself and others has been life changing.
I laugh a lot more now and feel joy.
Meliza Alvarado: San Jose, Costa Rica
Ashley finds the right words, ideas and proposals to put me in motion.
I was uncertain about the next steps in life and business.
I learned how to cooperate with my fear, that self-care comes first and progress not perfection.
Working with Ashley helped me to connect to myself, gain clarity about what I really want, and more awareness in my daily life.
Ruth Konter-mannweiler: Entrepreneur | Neustadt, Germany
I loved making goals with Ashley and being held accountable.
I started working with Ashley because I was feeling aimless and discouraged with my prospects for my future.
Together, I discovered a career path that I am excited about, that the money story I have been telling myself all my life is not true and that I was subconsciously sabotaging relationships because I was afraid to voice what I really wanted.
Now I have the career I’m meant for and am in motion with a plan to get there!
Karen Goat: Future UX Designer | Portland, Oregon
After every single call I felt like I was on a rocket and that I could do anything I wanted.
What I loved about working with Ashley was her support, inspiration and enthusiasm which made me move at a much faster speed than I would have done alone.
Prior to working with Ashley, I felt overpowered by my fear and lack of self-belief. I was unsure how I was ever going to get on a path I felt passionate about and earn a good income.
Working with Ashley taught me how to tune into my fears and get to know them better and realize that I am worthy of good things.
Now I have started my mindful business coaching business. I have a daily morning writing ritual which keeps me grounded and a regular spiritual practice which keeps me connected.
Zoë Lavender: Mindful Business Coach | Zürich, Switzerland
I was so stuck, uninspired and uncertain.
Many people in my life don’t share the same priorities, and are not supportive of the things I want for myself. This made it very difficult when it came time to make decisions about what I wanted for myself.
Working with Ashley gave me the support to realize that my dreams of working for myself and having the flexibility to travel and live overseas are actually possible.
She worked with me to get clear and to take the first steps to make it happen. I’ve since left my 9-5 job in Germany behind, moved to Australia, found a job, a new (old) love and am happily working on my dream!
Ashley’s ability to connect women all over the world is incredible. This was such a great support because, before working with her, I felt so alone in my journey.
Ashley has so many resources available such as her amazing Women.Becoming community, books, guest speakers and everything in between.
I’m very happy with how my life has changed.
Pia Bach: Melbourne, Australia
What I loved about working with Ashley was her kindness, support and intuition.
Prior to working with Ashley, I felt lost and more than awful. My physical health was not good, and I was having a really hard time.
Working with her (and the other women), helped encourage me to follow-through with a decision to move to Amsterdam and start an entrepreneurial incubator program.
Also, I finally ended a toxic relationship that needed to end. I am enjoying my single life and actually feeling sexy again.
My health is slowly getting back on track too which is good.
What I loved about working with Ashley was her kindness, support and intuition. And meeting the other lovely women of the community.
Janina Münker: Designer | Munich, Germany
I feel more confident and empowered than ever.
Prior to working with Ashley, I felt lost and heavy with the decisions of what to do and how to be.
Through our work, I’ve reconnected to the joyful part of myself, and made the decision to let go of needless suffering. Now, I have the feeling of coming back home to myself.
I love her compassion, mindfulness and sharp intuition.
My friend recently said that he doesn’t want to die until he is dead. I have spent enough of my life not living. I want to live. I want to step towards fear. I want to break open, and I am ready to break open and let my light shine.
Jessica Castle: Graphic Designer | Wellington, New Zealand
What I love about working with Ashley is the fact that everything is tailored to you, so everything is said and created specific to YOU. With her, you have your own story and Ashley’s work supports that.
My three biggest breakthroughs working with Ashley:
I decided to make a big move to Portugal. Before working with Ashley, I was really unclear about this. I know what I want from my time in Portugal, and I think that wouldn’t have happened without listening to Ashley and the other women in my program. I am now clear that my time in Portugal is going to be a catalyst for my life’s path, and I’m really excited to go.
I am dreaming big and creating a life that’s different from my family and friends.
Also, I understand and know my intuition. I can choose to listen to it or ignore it, but it’s there.
And the third big breakthrough is that life always has my back. Always.
Giulia Panzeri: Yogi, Writer | Zurich, Switzerland
Prior to working with Ashley, I was in a toxic relationship to a man who didn’t respect me.
Working with her helped me tap into my own feminine energy and intuition, which helped me develop my sense of self-worth.
By working together, I found the courage to end that relationship, which opened up space for much healthier ones.
Also, Ashley helped me finally make a dream of moving from Germany to Portugal a reality.
She connected me with great women in Portugal so that I already have community waiting for me when I arrive. I am so happy.
Ashley also helped me get clear on how I could spend more time in Bali, and that’s what I’m doing. I’m working, writing and eating lots of durian fruit!
Victoria Rust: Blogger, Performer | Bali, Indonesia
I started working with Ashley because I was overworked and not happy. I had been at the same job for 15 years, and I had lost my sparkle.
Ashley helped me reconnect to the things that make me joyful. She taught me powerful tools that forever changed my life, like how to breathe deeper.
During our time, I got clear with what changes I needed to make so I could feel alive again. One of those changes was to leave my corporate job and I’m so happy I did.
I am building a life I love, and spending time with my animals which brings so much joy into my life.
Gabriele Lügger: Marketing Solopreneur | Germany
I love that I have found you and your community of heart-centered women… it feels like home.
One of the reasons that I was drawn to you is your vulnerability in sharing your process because I too operate from the heart.
It’s lovely (and I think of my favorite Audrey Hepburn when I say lovely…as in classy and beautiful) that you continue to show your soft under belly.
I want to continue my journey by being open, allowing grace and healing in. I love that I have found you and your tribe of heart-centered women.
I am better for knowing you and am SO fucking (I love that word) excited to see where we all end up.
I have big dreams and see where you are going as well as myself….it’s gonna be AMAZING and VERY heart-centered.
Megan Saint-Marie: Coach | Portland, Oregon
I now can choose how to do things instead of just responding/functioning as a very busy professional woman.
Running my own business as a medical doctor, health coach and yoga teacher means that I am busy. Before working with Ashley I was really unfocused and needing direction with what to do next.
Working with her helped confirm that I’m on the right path in life. This feels great! I’ve since cleared off my plate, what was too much, so I can focus on starting a family.
Ashley also helped me put into practice the idea that less is so much better than more.
I really enjoyed the great coaching atmosphere she created, as well as the right combination of casual talk, intuitive guidance, life and business coaching.
Janna Scharfenberg: Founder of In Good Health | Doctor, Yoga Teacher, Coach | Zurich, Switzerland
I now feel clear on the next steps I’m going to take to build my future.
Before working with Ashley, I was anxious and apt to bury my head in the sand about the things bothering me that I wasn’t addressing.
As a writer, researcher and oceanic diver, I now feel very clear about who I am and what I’m doing. I’ve since left the office life and am excited to go into the workforce solo.
I now know how I’m promoting myself and my work to make a dream come true which will make more money than I have in the past.
Of course I still feel anxious, but Ashley taught me tools that I can use any time to deal with the negative or limiting emotions that come up for me- I can guide myself through anxiety.
The tools and homework we came up with gave me something solid to fall back on, and real guidance for how to work through the blocks.
I love Ashley’s enthusiasm and intuitive nature!
Jenny Oliver: Researcher, Diver | New Zealand
Working with Ashley was one of the best things I’ve done with my life.
Here’s what happened during our time together:
– I got engaged!
– I am now pregnant and am SO happy!
– I feel free in my relationship with my fiancé
– I found my way out of a deep depression that lasted way too long
– I’ve discovered why I’m really here and what my mission in life is
– I now have a clear business idea which is in-line with my deepest desires and fulfilles my life’s purpose
– I learned practical tools for personal development
And here’s why I just loved working with Ashley:
– Her intuition is incredible!
– I got her fullest attention and she was very open to talk about what topic I need the most support with. This allowed for some of the biggest breakthroughs.
– Her loving and caring way of dealing with challenges
Thank you so much, Ash, you are an AMAZING coach! I can’t even believe this is my life!
Cornelia Reichel: Marketing expert, Entrepreuner | Germany
What I loved about working with Ashley was her undivided attention and how important I felt. And her intuition is spot-on!
Ashley helped me find a healthy relationship to money and time, and as an entrepreneur this is essential.
To say- I have tripled my income since starting to work with Ashley.
Ashley helped me so much, but most importantly she helped me understand how important self-care is. I no longer feel guilty spending time on myself. In fact, I am doing the world a service by taking care of my needs because this helps me be a better woman, wife, business owner and leader. In her own words, ” strong self-care equals strong leadership.” I now get it!
I have loved working with her so much, and know I will be benefit from this for years to come.
Mary B. Lapp : Founder of Simple and Mary | Lancaster, Pennsylvania
Working with you has been one of the BEST investments, if not the best, of my life.
Your support and coaching have confirmed I’m on the right path in life, and everything in my life has improved from my business, relationships, how I feel about myself- everything.
I am very happy I said yes!
Ute Klingelhöfer : Founder of Contentwerk | Germany
I am becoming the leader and woman I’ve always wanted to be, and I don’t want these moments to end.
Prior to working with Ashley I had no clear goals, just ideas of goals. I wasn’t moving forward and I was in a disarray of my thoughts. Life was simply a daily grind. I was only accomplishing the daily musts to keep life grinding forward, but not smoothly, happily, stress-free, or living in the moment.
Our work together really helped me boil it down to Clarity. Yes, with a capital C. By working with Ashley, I now value the clarity I have gained on who I am as a woman, what I have the power to do, and how I want to change my life (on many levels), and the actions are following. No one wants to wander in fog.
I’ve gained so much knowledge from our coaching, and am better at implementing all these pieces into my days, weeks and months.
After taking Ashley’s program for a second time, I’m taking action in my physical, mental and emotional world and I’m totally loving everything- I’m loving life. It feels so good. I’m Becoming! And also Being. Thanks to your support and guidance.
It has been such an honor learning from you, Ashley. My life is forever changed. My kids may thank you one day.
