"I chose to change my life...

Testimonials from individuals that have made the choice to change their life.
"I owe it to Ashley - pushing me further each day and not letting me give up."
“Ashley both changed and saved my life! I saw a picture of pregnant Ashley hanging off of a tree upside down and thought to myself— what was my excuse? Four children later, 30 extra pounds of baby weight plus in the midst of postpartum depression, Ashley couldn’t have come into my life at a better time. She showed up, pushed and motivated me day in, day out. As someone who was a former athlete in my HS and college days, with 0 motivation and drive, I was capable of running 3 houses down from mine. But I had this idea of signing up for a Marathon!! I owe it to Ashley— pushing me further each day and not letting me give up, made me realize that I will always need her as part of my life. As a mom and an entrepreneur, it is so easy to get lost and not make time for yourself. Depression who? Extra weight where? With all that behind me, I keep on expanding my goals from running to building muscle and toning. She recently started training my teenage son, too. Just like me, he lacked the motivation, especially during quarantine. But since, Ajdin has come out of his shell and expressed to Ashley that he would like to run long distance with his mom. They continue to work on increasing his mileage— and as a mom to see that excitement in my child, makes me one happy mom and client!! I owe you my fitness success Ashley!!!!” Ljiljana (1:1 Coaching)
"Ashley is very skilled at helping one set manageable goals..."
Ashley has helped me so much with my fitness and wellness goals. She was my coach for 6 months and then did the 5 week program and am interested in the breath series. She is very compassionate and super skilled and helping you reach small attainable goals to reach your wellness goals. She provides the opportunity to go deeper to explore the emotional habits and triggers that keep us stuck in old patterns. By recognizing and building awareness of these emotional triggers, find am much more successful in creating new and healthier ways to managing them. For me has enabled me to be more successful in becoming fit. Ashley is very skilled at helping one set manageable goals and holding one accountable while being very skillful and kind to explore what is getting in the way of creating healthier patterns; I highly recommend her as a coach. She has helped me with a lot of hard work and commitment to succeed in my goal of living healthy through fitness and nutrition. Our work together has helped grow my confidence in envisioning endless attainable goals; one of which is hiking the long trail with my husband and sons within 10 years and getting my NIA white belt in 2 years. You too can do anything you put your mind and effort into. But often takes support and Ashley is an amazing coach" -Jeanne (1:1 Coaching)
"I have become so much more self-aware from my work with Ashley..."
“I highly recommend working with Fit Together and Ashley. As someone who needed accountability, but didn't want "all eyes on me at the gym", this sounded like the perfect fit. I have become so much more self-aware from my work with Ashley about my eating habits, my internal monologue, my goals and even my stressors. She teaches you in the most supportive way without being critical of decisions you make. I couldn't imagine a more supportive way to get to your fitness/health goals.” Anonymous (1:1 Coaching)
"Most importantly, it's helped me work with and through the emotions..."
“It's (ARiSE) been fantastic. I went in to this not knowing what to expect or if I would see a response. The response or growth isn't immediate and you have to work at it but with the support and encouragement you provide, growth comes when your ready for it. It's also helped me look deeper into why I feel the way I do about certain life things and why I respond the way I do. Most importantly, it's helped me work with and through the emotions that come up and the acceptance of those emotions, especially when I have dual emotions at once. When I have reached out for additional support I receive a response very quickly that supports my needs and it's a thorough intuitive response showing you really care and that's not common but very much appreciated. So thank you!” (Anonymous, ARiSE 1:1 Breathwork)
"There is a genuineness about her..."
"Ashley is a natural in this work. There is a genuineness about her that makes you feel like she is 100% committed to guiding you to the best experience possible. You can tell how much she believes in the value of breath work and that is reflected in how prepared she is and how connected she stays during the entire session.” (Anonymous, 1:1 Breathwork)
"I felt totally safe to be curious and bold..."
“I felt totally safe to be curious and bold in exploring the expanding areas of my consciousness. It was like an adventure of a lifetime. The healing I experienced was amazing and an indescribable gift. Ashley not only facilitated but created the space. Her wisdom, intuition, compassion, and presence allowed her to be an adventure guide that taught me to experience, explore, and enjoy yet allowed me to make the choices that come with driving the tour bus.” Anonymous (1:1 Breathwork)
"Thank you so much for giving me a foundation for a healthier future..."
“I needed this program more than I realized! Between everything happening at both the global level with a pandemic and a personal level including staying at home with a 3 year old, this gave me permission to prioritize myself. I had a chance to reflect on my habits and life experiences and felt empowered to make a change for the better. The weekly check-ins and midweek motivation made me feel supported as I went through this journey, implementing a wellness routine that included almost daily mindfulness and exercise and an awareness of my water intake. Thank you so much for giving me a foundation for a healthier future and some sanity when it was greatly needed!” -Brittany Agne (It Starts with You 5-week Coaching Program)
"Highly personalized..."
"Ashley made my session highly personalized and her timing of phrases, prompts, corrections, support, etc. was spot on and helped me to dive deeper into the emotions that were bubbling up for me.” -Anonymous (1:1 Breathwork)
"She is soft spoken and listens intensely..."
"First off, this was a program that I needed in my life for a long time. I am part of a wonderful Facebook group full of positive women and there I was able to connect with Ashley and learn more about her and Fit Together Health and Wellness. This was a blessing in disguise and was the perfect timing to jump into this adventure. I was feeling very negative and was looking for a way to move forward and gain skills to help get me towards the positivity in life I was looking for. I knew from day one, when Ashley and I met, that this was going to be an amazing experience and we connected right away. She is soft spoken and listens intensely when you are speaking. She gives great suggestions on how to recognize triggers and ways to revert your mindset. Throughout the 12-weeks I worked with Ashley she was available, she checked-in, and she was my accountability partner for mindset, fitness and nutrition. We were able to work out a plan to help me continue with this habit I had created. My next step is to take on the 5-week program and get an opportunity to continue working with Ashley as well as collaborate/connect with some awesome women. Ashley is amazing and I would 100% recommend checking out Fit Together Health and Wellness. This may just be what you are looking for!" -Erin Hoefel (1:1 Coaching)
"The tools, such as future-casting, helped me plan what I can do today to help the me of tomorrow."
"If you are looking for a way to be more accountable and find ways to move yourself to more, whatever that is for you, this program is it. Ashely helps you, through sharing her own stories and providing tactical strategies, to think about where you came from and where you are going. From daily food logs to looking for gratitude in your day, this program helped me be more intentional within my day and think twice before defaulting to cereal for breakfast. The tools, such as future-casting, helped me plan what I can do today to help the me of tomorrow." -Lindsay Adams (It Starts with You 5-Week Coaching Program)
