I help musicians live an aligned and expansive creative life and provide coaching training for educators and arts leaders seeking personal and cultural transformation. I believe in a music world that allows artists to find their unique creative pathways. I believe that coaching helps us unlock our own answers and set goals from a place of intrinsic motivation and personal agency. Coaching helps us ask powerful and effective questions in the service of others finding their own answers.

Coaching the Whole Musician

What to Expect?

Discovery Call

If you are curious about coaching, sign up for a free 30-minute discovery call.  In this first session, I’ll ask you to share some of your story, I’ll ask you lots of questions, and I’ll answer any questions you might have about me or the coaching process. There are lots of coaches out there and I really want to make sure you find the best fit for where you are in your life right now.

Pre-Coaching Questionnaire:

Whether you sign up for a single session or multiple sessions, I’ll send you a pre-coaching questionnaire that will lay the foundation for our work together.  You’ll send this back to me 24 hours before our first coaching session.

Individual Coaching Sessions:

The coaching relationship is a co-created partnership defined by boundaries, purpose, intentionality, equality, and mutual respect.  

You always set the agenda and I’ll meet you where you are each time.  The model of coaching I use is the “Start with Heart” Model, which means that any actions or goals that you set for yourself will be aligned with the things you care about at a heart level.


  • "Ashley's coaching is phenomenal and her spirit is joyful and contagious. She creates a space for her clients that is welcoming and truly inspirational. The session helped me immensely. I can't recommend her enough! "

  • "I found Ashley’s coaching sessions to be both inspirational and motivational! She helped me see my purpose and a way forward after I made a change in my performance career that left me feeling directionless and vulnerable. She was very organized and took notes that she forwarded me after our meetings, which have been great to look back on when I want to get thinking about the future again. Ashley’s compassion and genuine joy that she finds through helping people find their purpose makes her a terrific coach!"

  • Ashley brings grace and generosity of spirit to every coaching session and has helped me rediscover what matters most to me as a musician. She has also helped me to integrate my dearest held values as a person into my musical identity. Thanks to her warmth and humor, I am moving forward with intention for the first time in a long time.
