Meet ashlee

​Hello, I'm thrilled to introduce myself! I am an experienced educator with a deep passion for empowering children and teens through trauma-informed education and life coaching. With a master’s degree in trauma-informed education and certification as a trauma and resilience practitioner in education, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to my coaching practice. I'm a trained Mayo Clinic Health and Wellness Coach currently pursuing my National Board Certification in Health and Wellness Coaching. 

 

Throughout my nine-year journey in the field of education, I have witnessed firsthand the transformative power of trauma-informed practices in the lives of young individuals and their families. This inspired me to pursue further education and training, equipping me with a comprehensive understanding of trauma's impact on learning and development. Armed with this knowledge, I am dedicated to supporting children, teens and families in overcoming adversity and building resilience. 

​

I'm excited to offer health and wellness coaching as part of our practice, backed by training from the Mayo Clinic's Health and Wellness certification program. Currently pursuing the National Board Certification for Health and Wellness Coaching and Mayo Clinic Coaching Certification, my coaching approach focuses on personalized support in key areas such as goal setting, nutrition guidance, stress management, accountability, and behavior change strategies. I also offer physical activity support, health education, and skill development to help you thrive. My holistic approach empowers you to make lasting lifestyle changes, with a focus on long-term wellness and personal growth.

 

As a coach for children, teens and families, I am committed to creating a safe and nurturing space for growth, healing, and personal development. I believe that every individual possesses unique strengths and abilities, and my role is to guide in recognizing and harnessing their full potential. Through a compassionate and individualized approach, I work closely with my clients to identify their goals, explore their passions, and cultivate the skills needed to thrive in all areas of life.

 

My trauma-informed background greatly influences my coaching practice, as I recognize the importance of creating a trauma-sensitive environment. I understand that each individual carries their own experiences and challenges, and I strive to provide a supportive and non-judgmental space where they can feel heard, understood, and valued. By integrating trauma-informed principles into my coaching sessions, I am able to help individuals navigate their emotions, build self-confidence, and develop healthy coping strategies, all while looking at the future.

 

In my coaching practice, I prioritize the development of executive functioning skills in children and teens as well as within the family. These skills, including organization, time management, and self-regulation, are crucial for their long-term success. By focusing on executive functioning skills, I empower individuals to become independent, confident, and resilient.

 

Through personalized coaching sessions, I assess each client's executive functioning abilities and tailor strategies to their unique strengths and challenges. Collaborating with parents and educators, as well as other family members, we create a supportive network that reinforces skill development across different environments.

 

I help equip individuals with lifelong tools to navigate challenges, overcome obstacles, and achieve goals.

 

Let's embark on a transformative coaching journey together.
