Welcome to The Unhurried Year

A 12-month 1:1 coaching container to slow down, tend to your body, and shift the patterns that are keeping you from feeling alive, expansive, and fully capable of your vision.

Here, you will be held in an unhurried space, as we sit with the patterns and stories that live in your body — the ones that shape how you show up in life, in work, and with yourself. With expert coaching, somatic support and intuitive guidance, we will gently shift those patterns into pathways brimming with support, presence, and care instead.

You desire a life and work that feels expansive and impactful. You know that in order to get there, something inside of you needs to shift.

We’ve all felt that space where our bodies speak into our choices, our relationships, our creativity, our work. It’s visceral, undeniable, embodied. Where we notice our deeply held stories, beliefs and patterns like lightning bolts in a summer sky bright and burning before us.

We all deal with that awareness in different ways. Maybe by getting entangled in it, maybe by over-identifying with it, maybe by avoiding it completely, or maybe by trying to outrun it with strategy or productivity.

But then comes the moment where we realize something needs to change. Our whole being is calling for a pause. We’re not okay circling the same patterns, telling the same story. A part of us is emerging, saying:

“I want more than this. I want to feel alive again.”

This is the rebellion against stuckness.
This is the reclamation of aliveness and self-leadership.

And this is where we need an unhurried, gentle space to lay it all out, be held, be heard and create a way forward that actually feels like coming home.

For the last five years, I’ve been working closely with people at the intersection of their inner worlds and their outer lives supporting in gently shifting the patterns of the nervous system, untangling protective strategies, and reorienting toward ways of being that feel alive and sustainable.

One thing I know for sure: the patterns, stories, and beliefs we circle around the most hold the most precious parts of us. They are not broken pieces to be hacked or optimized. They are guides. They carry our deepest desires, needs, and hopes.

To rush past them is not an option. They deserve to be sat with, heard, and understood. And that requires a gentle, unhurried facilitation where we can cup the face of those tender places within us and see them soften.

What’s holding you back from all that you want in life (and work) deserves devoted attention and wholehearted invitation. That’s where real, lasting shifts are born.

As soon as I got on a call with Ashley, I knew I was held, seen, and heard. If you are willing and open to slowing down, and integrating inner work into you business flow, working with Ashley is deeply beneficial.

Often when we are being called to own our work or lives in a deeper or more profound way, we feel the encircling of these things and that is a time to not bypass them, but create space for them to be witnessed, so we can choose a new integrated path forward in that emanates leadership.

The Unhurried Year is a twelve-month partnership where we will sit with, soften toward, and gently shift a repeating pattern or story in your body and life.

will sit with you in a way that is deeply attuned, which means we may work with a range of approaches depending on what is emerging: nervous system practices, deep listening, parts work, somatic grounding, mindfulness, or slowed-down strategy where it feels supportive.

I am committed to being with you in your experience, not rushing, not bypassing, but helping you shift what is truly asking for your attention.

When is the last time you had space deeply held for your body in your experience and story? That’s what I am here to do.

Working with Ashley has really shifted my perspective of what's possible and how different (in the best way) business can feel. It doesn't have to be from this frantic, hustle energy but can feel so much more gentle and grounded. Our sessions are so powerful; the perspectives she shares, the guided questions that help reveal and uncover so much, and her intuition and sense about what could be shifted helps to make so much progress. Everyone needs the magic and power of Ashley in their life.

Examples of Patterns We Can Explore and Bring Shifting To

We can sit with anything that emerges, but here are some of the most common patterns that show up for people inside The Unhurried Year:

Self-Protection

The ways you keep yourself safe that might now feel limiting: perfectionism, people-pleasing, overworking, blurred boundaries, procrastination, compulsive comparison, or never allowing yourself to rest.

Nervous System

Automatic body responses that shape your daily life: freeze or shutdown when visibility is required, hypervigilance in relationships or work, hiding when things feel overwhelming, or cycles of burnout and collapse.

Held Stories

The repeating narratives that live in your body: “I’m not enough.” “It always has to be hard.” “I’ll never belong.” Stories about value, identity, capability, or inevitability that keep circling until they’re witnessed and shifted.

Learning from Ashley felt embodied, nurturing, supportive and helpful in a manner that allowed for the cultivation of self-trust, a way forward with less overwhelm. Ashley will teach you how to find a strategy for your business that is sustainable and effective by learning to attune to and trust your own inner wisdom which is so incredibly empowering.

I’m Ashley.

Certified coach, gentle educator, architect of spaces of care and a wholehearted believer in you.

If we haven’t met yet, I would offer you a cup of tea, a blanket or a hammock real quick. But if a cold swim, dancing under the stars or writing poetry is more your vibe, I get down with all those things too.

I created The Unhurried Year because I believe we need more spaces like this; slowed down and attuned, compassionate and caring. Spaces where our bodies and stories are not rushed past but held with dignity and depth.

I am equal parts compassionate witness, somatic guide, slowed-down facilitator, gentle truth-teller and poetic soul. I would be honoured to support you through a year of shifting what’s been holding you back, so you can step into more aliveness, ease, and self-leadership.

As you sit with your life right now, where do you long for it to feel lighter? Where might you want to soften the burdens and untangle the stuck places?
Where do you long to feel more alive?

That’s what The Unhurried Year is here for.

ASKED QUESTIONS

 
  • The coaching series can go from six to twelve months. Because we are working with the body and the nervous system, we want to take an unhurried approach and honour your pace.

  • I take two clients at a time in this offer because of the space held for the client.

Being supported by Ashley is like being held in a safe cocoon while you are prompted to feel into your own brilliance and next steps. Her gentle, slow approach to business felt like the balm I needed to come alive. I knew I didn’t have to push or be something I wasn’t, which gave my whole self permission to slow down and listen in. Each session was like a gentle nudge to get out of the mind and into the body.
