Taha Hossain
Founder of Daybreak Studio & Butterfly
When I began working with Ash, my goals were cloudy, and my vision was confined to just the immediate challenge ahead. It felt like I was caught in a current, trying to break free but moving in circles.
Today, that fog has lifted. I’m present. I approach each day with confidence, play and a sense of discovery. I recognize my strengths—the unique qualities I bring to my relationships, work, and leadership. I show up in a way that feels natural, exploring unexpected possibilities that were once beyond my view.
Over the past two years, working with Ash has been a journey of clarity, self-discovery and growth. Together, we’ve navigated mental obstacles, lifted my personal limits, and explored what it means to live with greater intention.
I’m deeply grateful for our work together. She has influenced so much of my self-evolution and mastery and was the catalyst that set in motion the ongoing growth and transformation I continue to experience.
Hanna Dethlefs
Life & Wellbeing Coach
From our first session, the power of Ash’s intuitive approach was clear to me. She helped me identify what was holding me back and see the true cost of maintaining the status quo in my life.
As we dove into the work, Ash challenged me to grow on every level (personally, professionally, in relationships, and more) while holding a supportive, nurturing, and non-judgemental space. I now feel so much freer as a result.
I've come to embrace myself more fully and move through life with renewed curiosity and action. I’m so grateful that I found Ash when I did and for our work together.
Adil Majid
Head of Product @ Method Security
Ash was instrumental in achieving my most meaningful year of growth in my adult life. My goal from working with Ash was to figure out what I wanted to put my energy towards after spending my first few years out of school focused primarily on my career.
Ash helped me identify what I valued for myself and helped me to orient around these values. When I tried to take a shortcut, to avoid doing the hard thing, or to accept a mediocre outcome, Ash challenged me to do more and provided me with the frameworks and clarity to do it.
Throughout the process, Ash was an excellent thought partner and sounding board. She listened deeply, asked thoughtful questions at the right time, and helped me find clarity in deeply personal parts of my life. She did this without injecting her own worldview into the mix, which had always been my refrain about working with other coaches.
Looking back on our kickoff document, I can hardly relate to my old goals and headspace. I would recommend working with Ash to anyone who is struggling to find clarity in a difficult part of their life or wants to identify a meaningful direction for their next chapter.
James Zhao
Founder & CEO @ NoGrowth
When I started working with Ash, I was looking for support in navigating my blindspots as a leader. What I found was much deeper.
In our time working together, I learned how to have difficult conversations, manage the emotions of being a leader, feel less reactive to my MRR, and enjoy my day-to-day work again.
Today, my company is performing better than ever, and my team feels more motivated and tight-knit.
But the biggest shift was realizing that fulfillment for me isn’t about building myself out of the business and retiring ASAP. It’s working on things that excite me, which is something I get do today. And that’s what made me stop snoozing my alarm in the mornings.
I would recommend Ash to any founder looking to build not only a better business, but a more fulfilling life.
Claire Ingebretsen
VP @ Burson
In a few short months, Ash helped change my life. I came to her stuck, scared and skeptical of coaching. I leave my 2nd agreement with Ash feeling more expansive, grounded, clear and excited for what’s next.
Ash is fun, compassionate, observant and so clearly passionate about coaching. She has such a gift for pausing, noticing and going deeper with you in such a playful and curious way that I left our sessions filled with energy and most importantly hope. Please work with her!
Nick Howland
Lead Product Designer
Ash is a one-of-a-kind life coach and individual, reaching in and helping to lead you through set goals and pull apart the knotty complexities of life. I really feel like I got more out of our sessions than most other self-help avenues I’ve explored, even therapy.
I find myself often thinking back on how impactful the conversations and exercises were, how much growth I experienced within our sessions, and how much more clearly I was able to see myself through each step of the journey. Before I started working with Ash, I was very much in the midst of transitioning from one life chapter to another.
With her help and guidance, I was able to finally arrive in this new chapter with grown confidence, refreshed creativity, a better understanding of my energy needs, and so much more. If you’re looking to be more purposeful with aspects of your life and get to know yourself a bit better, I couldn’t recommend Ash enough.

Product Leader & Sr. Yoga + Meditation Teacher
When I started working with Ash, my start-up was coming to an inflection point, and I knew it was time to start on the official job hunt. I had a rough sense of what was important to me and the industries I wanted to work in but no idea how to get there especially without having the traditional resume.
Ash helped me start at the ground level, and worked with me to help me clarify my values in the near term and long term, reflect on all aspects that are part of ‘work’, and identify some of my north stars that are helping me as I continue to navigate my journey.
She gave me space to think, articulate, explore and dream, and helped me synthesize and find clear themes and patterns when they were blurry to me. Ash provided a perfect balance of structure and free flow and used her expertise and background in tech to help me identify and apply to roles, pitch myself, and get set up for success.
She continues to be a compassionate and kind thought partner, and I can’t imagine going through a transition period without her! I would love to pick her brain and lean into her thoughtfulness during all of life’s big moments <3 <3

Breathwork with Ash has been truly transformative for me!
Ash’s gentle strength and lack of judgement truly welcomes a variety of allowed experiences and sensations into the space. Sessions feel intentional and guided, yet also free and self-directed, allowing for each member to do their own unique work. The atmosphere of accepting presence Ash is able to foster has truly influenced my own ability to expand my mental and physical capacity to hold my Self and my emotions through breathwork.
I leave feeling more clear-hearted and curious, and have been able to carry that feeling into my daily life!
Nixie Ponticello
Somatic Practitioner
I've done both online and in-person breathwork sessions with Ash, and each one has been incredibly potent. Through her guidance, I've reached places within myself that I genuinely hadn't experienced before. The insights, emotions, and awareness that surfaced were deeply eye-opening.
I also had the opportunity to attend one of her retreats, and it truly changed by life! I was able to express and share a part of me in that retreat with women who were strangers at the time and this broke me open in magical ways! The container Ash held for us felt so safe, beautiful, and gentle (not forceful), and it’s no wonder why it broke me open beautifully. There was something about how she crafted the entire retreat to feel so nourishing, supportive, and with enough space for processing and reflection!
