I have a Master’s in Exercise Physiology, a certification in Plant Based nutrition, a women’s health coaching certification, and several specialized courses in a variety of women’s health areas. I also dive deep into mindfulness practices such as yoga, meditation, breath work, energy work, and somatic experiencing.

Ashley Blue:

For as long as I can remember, spending time in mother nature has always been my safe space. It wasn’t until becoming a mother myself that I unlocked a new level of exploration outdoors. Motherhood opened a door to reconnect with my inner child in the most loving and nurturing way. I now seek to help other women dare to look back and dig deep to reconnect with their inner child to re-discover their joy and freedom while spending time in nature!
