Meet Ashley

ASH & TIDE was born from more than a love of fitness. It was born from life, loss, change, and learning to begin again.

As a mom of four, fitness instructor, beach lover, and someone who knows firsthand that life doesn’t always go according to plan.

I’ve spent more than 15 years in the fitness industry; with a focus on strength and conditioning and, more recently, Pilates. ASH & TIDE came from something much bigger than workouts.

It came from starting over. More than once.

Mental health is deeply personal to me. I’ve experienced the unimaginable loss of two siblings to suicide, and those losses have forever shaped the way I look at strength, health, and what it really means to take care of ourselves.

For me, movement has always been about more than changing your body. It’s been a place to clear my head, work through hard days, reconnect with myself, and remember that strength isn’t only physical.

As my kids grew up and life continued to change, I realized there were so many people navigating their own transitions; relationships changing, children leaving home, bodies changing, grief, and stress.

I created ASH & TIDE for the people asking themselves: What’s next for me?

My approach is simple: lift weights, move your body, eat real food, take care of your mind, laugh whenever you can, and get outside. You don't have to have everything figured out. You just have to keep showing up.

And if all else fails, there’s always the beach.

Because life comes in waves. Some you ride, some knock you down, and some change you forever.

But the tide keeps moving, and so do we.
