Empowering Visionary Leaders to Redefine Success

 

With a foundation in BG5 and strengths-based psychology, Ashley partners with high-level entrepreneurs, executives, and teams to align unique talents with strategic goals, driving efficiency, innovation, and impact.

Strengths First

 

I believe that true success lies in amplifying strengths rather than shoring up weaknesses. By focusing on what’s inherently right in each individual, I help leaders and teams unlock untapped potential and achieve lasting impact.

Practical Visionary Solutions

 

I believe that authentic, trust-based relationships are key to meaningful transformation. With a commitment to integrity, I serve as a trusted advisor, empowering clients to move confidently toward their highest potential.

The Power of Self Discovery

 

I do not believe that ADHD is a "super power", and research does not position it as such either. I DO believe, however, that we can effectively manage it so that we can flourish in all areas of life.

Self-discovery is not just a journey—it’s a pathway to freedom for anyone with the courage to turn within.

My Approach 

 

Above all else my approach honours you as an entire being, not broken into pieces of a nervous system, mind, body, or design.  To effectively navigate the waters of ADHD, on top of your unique design, we cannot ignore the entirety of who you are & how it plays a role in living an authentic life.  

It is also important to know that  there's no sugarcoating here; I approach each partnership in a straightforward yet compassionate manner. This no-nonsense attitude ensures efficient delivery of your needs within our agreed-upon timeframe.  It also helps you cut through BS thought-errors, self-sabotage, problematic positive thinking, and detrimental (not self) behaviours that keep you from succeeding.

My background started as a counsellor, in the mental health field, prior to leaving the field due to burnout.  I went on to study and become certified in:

  • Positive Psychology Coaching
  • Mind Body Coaching (From The Embody Lab)
  • Life Coaching
  • Breathwork
  • Holistic Nutrition & Personal Training
  • BG5 at the BG5 Institute 
  • Applied Polyvagal Theory in Yoga
  • Somatic Stress Release
  • Somatic Attachment Therapy
  • Gene Keys
  • Human Design Analyst training & Differentiation Degree Student, focus on ADHD + HD

 My approach combines science with the wisdom of Human Design to create a personalized, holistic strategy for flourishing. I believe that managing ADHD isn’t about conforming to conventional standards but about unlocking your unique blueprint and embracing your true self. 

Central to my approach is the THRIVES Framework, which stands for Thoughts (Mindset), Health (Physical Well-being), Relationships (Connection with Others), Income (Wealth), Vitality (Emotional Energy), Excellence (Accomplishment/Meaning), and Spirituality. This framework guides our work together, providing a comprehensive path to thriving by focusing on all key areas of your life. We address mindset shifts, holistic health practices, and strategies for building meaningful connections and finding purpose in your personal and professional life.  We also use this framework to explore what is your ADHD, what is conditioning, and who you are within it all!

By integrating evidence-based techniques—such as mindfulness, somatic practices, and stress management—with the transformative insights of Human Design, we tailor a strategy that is uniquely yours. Together, we’ll explore your design, uncover hidden strengths, and develop practical, actionable steps that honor who you are at your core. My goal is to empower you to move beyond limitations, embrace your unique gifts, and live a life filled with purpose, joy, and ease (Yes, even with ADHD!).

This is My Story.

  

I GET WHAT IT IS LIKE TO RECEIVE AN ADULT DIAGNOSIS OF ADHD.

 

Have you ever wondered how your life experience and typical ADHD level varied trainings & specializations come together?

You aren’t alone.

When I first found Human Design I always wondered why I kept making emotional and impulsive decisions regardless of how much I KNEW they weren’t correct.

When I became an entrepreneur and my highly structured days provided by corporate, sports, & hobbies fell away and I became my own boss I started to blame my sacral & “responding” for how easily distracted I got.

I started to notice how stress made things worse yet I blamed my design and undefined head centre.  This did, however, peak my interest in stress which led to specializations in Somatic Stress Release & Applied Polyvagal Theory in Yoga.

Shortly before starting at the International Human Design School Differentiation Degree College, an EXTENSIVE 2.5 year degree advanced program for Analysts, I ended up in my doctors office asking “How do I get evaluated for ADHD?”.

More than anything I ended up there because I started to get tired of MYSELF when I kept getting bored of things, not finishing things, & constantly starting from scratch.  Sure, it was fun as a teen or youth but not as an adult running multiple businesses, a farm animal sanctuary, and more that rested on MY ability to keep it together & show up.  Not to mention, many beings (4 legged and 2!) depended on me… And I did not want it to negatively impact them.

In the months leading up to ending up sitting in the doctor's office, nervously fidgeting thinking I was going to be written off, I had started to Google “ADHD symptoms”.  I always joke with my clients who suspect ADHD yet have not visited their doctor yet that if you have to Google “Symptoms of ADHD” you likely have it!

Now, you may be thinking “Shouldn’t it be obvious you had it, you worked in the mental health field”.  However, the mental health field, or the world in general, traditionally has not recognized a high performing girl or woman that is highly successful as having ADHD.  I was at the top of every sport I undertook. My grades (except in math!!) were exceptional.  In University I had multiple departments chasing me down to do my masters & PhD in their department.  And the symptoms you could say were “typical” ADHD, I did a great job at masking them, working through them or they were just written off as “that’s just Ashley”.

Getting the diagnosis was a lightbulb moment for me.  Not only did it change the way I saw Human Design, and how it needs to be communicated & coached to someone with ADHD, however it also gave me much more grace for MYSELF.  

What I realized was that the things I hated about myself like getting bored easily, impulsive decisions, being disorganized, being emotionally explosive, etc, were actually symptoms of ADHD. And now, with the diagnosis I could actually implement strategies that work for ME, allowing me to flourish.


The reality is: ADHD isn't a disorder of not knowing what to do, it's a disorder of not being able to DO what you know you should do.  

It finally made sense why I had struggled to implement what I KNEW in Human Design.

Since then I have been diligently weaving the threads between my background in Psychology, coaching, Holistic Nutrition, & Human Design to bring a revolutionary new approach to not just the coaching space but my long term goal is to bring this to mental health governing bodies to create real change on a collective level for women & girls.

So, with that.  I proudly introduce: ADHD + HD, a global coaching brand helping women with ADHD understand themselves on a deeper level & thrive beyond limitations.

As a previous counsellor in the mental health field and triple certified coach I bring an extensive background to weave with an incredibly advanced knowledge, from the official schools, within Human Design.  In fact, I believe I am the only one with my level of certifications at BG5 & the International Human Design School, with a background in Psychology, speaking about ADHD + Human Design!

Using a holistic approach grounded in Human Design, I empower my clients to break free from overwhelm, embrace their strengths, and create extraordinary lives on their own terms.  

I combine practical strategies with deep inner work to address challenges at their core. 

My THRIVES method—Thought, Health, Relationships, Income, Vitality, Excellence, and Spirituality—guides clients to flourish in every area of their lives.

If you’re ready to move past limitations and step into a more fulfilling, aligned life, let’s connect. 

Together, we’ll create a path to growth that works for you & your unique brain!

My Core Values

 

These are the values that guide my work and my life, the principles that form the foundation of every journey I embark on with my clients.

Core Value 1: "Grey Zone" Thinking

While the ADHD brain tends to live in black & white thinking I value the ability to think beyond black-and-white perspectives and embrace the complexity of the “grey zone.” I believe that life is rarely defined by absolutes, and that growth happens when we explore the nuances and possibilities that exist in between. For those with ADHD, this approach can be liberating—allowing us to see our unique traits not as ‘good’ or ‘bad,’ but as a dynamic spectrum of strengths and challenges. By embracing uncertainty, creativity, and flexibility, we can find innovative ways to navigate life and thrive in our authenticity.

Core Value 2: Integrity

I am deeply committed to integrity in my teachings and practices. Every aspect of Human Design that I share is grounded in the official teachings from the International Human Design School (IHDS), where I have studied and become proficient. In a landscape filled with misinformation and misinterpretation, it is my priority to provide you with the authentic, scientifically-backed principles of the Human Design System. For those with ADHD, having access to accurate information is essential for understanding your unique design and thriving on your terms.

Core Value 3: Self- Responsibility

I believe in the power of self-responsibility as the foundation for true transformation. My approach is rooted in causal coaching, where we go beyond surface-level solutions to uncover the deeper causes of your challenges. This process empowers you to discover your own answers and create lasting change from the inside out. In alignment with Human Design principles, I hold that each person has the power to become their own authority. I am dedicated to fostering an environment where you are encouraged to trust yourself, tap into your inner wisdom, and take responsibility for your growth and decisions.

Core Value 4: Fun in the Journey

I value fun as an essential part of growth and self-discovery. I believe that true transformation doesn’t have to be heavy or serious—it can be playful, lighthearted, and filled with moments of joy. For those with ADHD, integrating fun into our approach helps us stay engaged, motivated, and open to new possibilities. Whether it’s through creative exploration, humor, or unconventional thinking, I encourage a sense of adventure and playfulness in everything we do. Life is too short not to enjoy the journey!

Core Value 5: Courageous Transformation

Transformation is not for the faint of heart—it requires courage, vulnerability, and a willingness to journey into the unknown. I stand for guiding women through this process with compassion and strength, helping them shed the old and step into the new with grace and confidence.

These values are the heart of my work, guiding every step of the journey as we walk together into the wild, untamed wilderness of your soul.

TESTIMONIALS.

Let Others Inspire You.

"This pure Generator just gets me going! Ashley knows how to light my fire.  I have never been so fulfilled, so happy, so in my element, so creative, so lit up. I can't remember the last time I made this much money. The formula is not what they say it is. You have your own unique formula & no one has brought this out more in me than Ashley.  You need to get inside her programs.  Trust me!

She is one of the only people that I will continue to work with.  She finds out about YOU & what YOU want & how YOU operate. She doesn't fit you into a box, she doesn't tell you what to do based on some ridiculous formula.  She guides you back to you.  Never have I felt more free, never have I felt more alive never have I felt so fulfilled AND on mission with my purpose.

A lot of people struggle with this for so long, I did as well. Ashley is your girl for all things business.

My life has transformed because of Ashley. I  get moved to tears when I think about her because she cares about me & there are so many people in this journey who didn't.  They just saw me as a dollar sign & cared about my money, they just told me to do things that weren't right for me- Not Ashley.  

Ashley has a heart of gold & I am just so honoured to be in her world."

Whether you are an individual or a team you’re getting left behind if you don’t do this work.

Thinking about taking a course, hiring her as a coach or bringing her in to work closely with your team like I did? Do it - your people, profits, and purpose will thank you for it.”
