She also offers contemplative-based coaching for individuals, leaders and businesses.
Ashley earned her Master’s in Social Work from the University of Washington. She has been practicing nature meditation since childhood, and in the vipassana (insight) tradition for over 20 years.

When she’s not working, you’ll still find her meandering in the woods, being mesmerized by dunes and waves along the Oregon coast, and being quiet in the desert.
