Individual Liberatory Coaching
Building a community of care is essential to our collective liberation. As a coach, Ashley believes in our inherent power to heal, grow, and imagine a new future. She strives to be a tender and passionate support to folks working towards freedom. She supports folks in transition and the discovery of their truest vision of themselves and their work.
"Liberatory Coaching is listening, seeing, feeling, and sensing in multiple dimensions to someone's essence and what they are being called to evolve into."
- Sarah Jawaid and Damon Azali-Rojas, Love Letter to the Movement (2022)

"I learned that if I didn’t define myself for myself, I would be crunched into other people’s fantasies for me and eaten alive."

Retreat Planning with R+R
R+R is a moment of community care. It is a cultivation of stillness + rest.
Through that portal of rest, we can reimagine our systems, our movements, + ourselves. Rest is not a luxury; it is essential, both fundamental + instrumental.
To create the kind of change that this moment requires, we will need to rest in order to reimagine.
"People think [rest is] just some fuzzy little luxury wellness idea, & they literally are not understanding that when you go there, it’s a space of deep imagination, deep generative freedom for us... Rest is really literally going to be the foundation to build this new world."
- Tricia Hersey, Resting on and for the Earth (2021)
