Ashley got bit by the fitness bug at a young age, and was already teaching fitness classes before she turned 18. Over the 17-plus years since, she’s put her passion for coaching to use during her service in the Air Force, conquered ultramarathons, and honed her training skills across a variety of individual and group fitness contexts. Along that journey, Ashley found her calling as a prenatal and postpartum personal trainer, making it her mission to help new and expecting moms take on the challenges of motherhood with confidence.
Ashley believes that childbirth makes moms stronger. And as a mother of four who once stopped 32 kilometers into a 50k trail race to nurse her son, she has the resume to prove it. Her personal training draws on a wealth of firsthand experience and hard-earned expertise related to running, nutrition, and weight loss. In the process, Ashley helps new and expecting moms get back to being their best selves, whether that means setting a marathon PR or just shedding a few postpartum pounds.
Because every pregnancy is unique, Ashley’s process starts by meeting every mom where they’re at. That information helps her create flexible plans that can keep expectant moms healthy and strong, while showing them that maternal duty and the pursuit of meaningful fitness goals aren’t mutually exclusive. By working together through Future, Ashley helps her clients navigate this period of intense physical and emotional change, while creating the space they need to get moving and get back to doing what they love.
