Love, curiosity, and wisdom continually guide Ashley’s three-generation approach to children, families, and communities. She defines the three-generation approach as working with the caring adult and or parent, the child, and the future generation within the child. A question that drives Ashley’s work with children and youth is, “How do we help them create their spark for living lives of significance and interdependent contribution?” The practical piece of this question is, “How do we get them excited and organized for their success today?” A question that drives her work with adults is how do we help them care for themselves and the young people in their care in a way that welcomes growth, healing, wholeness, and ease.
Ashley has worked with hundreds of children and families professionally in the last 16 years from a variety of backgrounds and abilities. Her experiences as a Family Support Specialist; Case Manager and Program Coordinator; Children’s Ministry Director; Afterschool Teacher; and School-based Tutor inform her experiences as a Master Certified Life Coach for kids of all ages, adults included.
