Hi, I’m Ash!

What My Clients Are Saying:

  • ★★★★★

    “I was sceptical about coaching at first, but working with Ashley completely shifted how I see it.

    After a tough year, she helped me rebuild routine, healthier habits, and a more positive mindset, always putting mental health first.

    Ashley’s approach is thoughtful, supportive, and genuinely transformative, and I’d recommend her to anyone looking for sustainable change.”

    Ashley, I don’t even know where to begin - what a woman's woman!

    After a horrible 3rd pregnancy I lost myself a bit between the pregnancy and postpartum, and then I found Ashley. She held my hand, even though 1000km away, and helped me find the love of lifting weights again, focusing on my specific postpartum needs and guiding me in her STRIDE programme (with the best meals ever - I mean peppermint crisp "tart" for breakfast!).

    Ashley, you have honestly been the turning point I needed, and I am so excited for what our future holds in this nutrition and exercise space.

  • ★★★★★

    I’ve been working with Ash for the past few months and it’s been a really positive experience.

    She is professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in her clients.

    The programs are well thought out and tailored to your ability and goals, not generic, and she takes the time to explain the why behind the work.

    I’ve felt supported and challenged, and I’ve seen clear improvements in my strength, movement, and confidence.

    I would highly recommend working with her.
