About Me

Welcome to Adkins Coaching, I am Ashley!

I began coaching because I have a passion for helping people. After having my own frustrating and sometimes alienating health journey, I felt driven to help others feel more empowered and connected in every part of their lives, especially their health. 

Prior to becoming a certified health and life coach, I started my career working in start-up tech companies. I quickly realized I needed a career in which I was directly helping people. I went back to school and received my M. Ed. in Higher Education Administration. I then spent a decade working as a university administrator and instructor. I devoted a great deal of time to mentoring others around academic and career success, and loved it! 

After having my children, and struggling to balance my chronic illness (Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome) with being a mom to a child on the spectrum, I left my career in higher education. I then began my coaching journey, which has lead me to where I am today. I completed my health and life coaching dual certification at The Health Coach Institute and then launched my business. Now I spend my career helping people reach their goals and maximize their potential! 

When I am not coaching, I am a busy mom to two amazing kids. I also I love to travel, cook, and spend time with my family and friends.
