Abundant Life Coaching (ALC) offers empowering, solution-focused life coaching for women who desire to pursue Christ-centered, holistic approaches to spiritual, emotional, and mental well-being.

ALC partners with women to help cultivate:

• a deeper connection with God and themselves
• a better understanding of their emotions and the emotions of those around them
• healing from past wounds
• greater control over emotional and mental health.

Coaching sessions involve thought-provoking and creative processes that help women recognize God’s divine plan for their wholeness and growth.

My name is Ashley and I am the Coach and co-creator of Abundant Life Coaching. I help Christian women get connected to God and themselves so they can find healing and freedom from toxic emotional cycles and destructive behaviors that keep them from experiencing the Abundant Life Christ has for them.

I am first and foremost a follower of Jesus Christ. He saved and transformed my life and has been the source of my own healing and victory. He is the driving force behind the creation of ALC and is the reason why I do what I do. I share more about that in my “What is Abundant Life” Blog, so you can check that out!

I am also a wife and mother. My husband Tim and I have a blended family of three adult children and four young kids who keep us on the move! We also have 3 dogs who I also consider my kids :)

I have my own personal testimony, a life where I can truly say what was meant for evil, God has used for His good and His glory.

Depression, anxiety, addiction, emotional rollercoasters, and very low self-worth were constant themes in my life from my early teens. As a result of life’s challenges, I struggled terribly with my emotions, found myself in many emotional meltdowns, felt like something was ‘wrong' with me’ because I struggled so bad and couldn’t see God’s purpose or direction for my life. But my story didn’t end there. God ‘drew me up from the pit of destruction, out of the miry bog, and set my feet upon a rock, making my steps secure.’ (Psalm 40:20)

In addition to my personal experience, I have been an educator and advocate of mental health and addiction for over 17 years. I have a B.A. in Business Administration, am a Board-Certified Mental Health Coach and Professional Life Coach with the American Association of Christian Counselors, am certified in Trauma-Informed Care from the University of Indiana School of Public Health, and am a Mental Health First Aid facilitator.
