“and i said to my body. softly. ‘i want to be your friend.’ it took a long breath. and replied ‘i have been waiting my whole life for this.”

―Nayyirah Waheed

I’m your guide to learning about your body without the shame or judgement. I’ve fought the fight to understand what’s beyond the physical side of my body, and also the liberation in sexual expression where performance once ruled my world. I’ve become truly committed to and love learning how to better love my body. And I believe my purpose is to help others do the same.

I expand possibilities for individuals by helping them feel differently in their body first, and then by supporting their journey to exist in the world as the embodied version of themselves that they deserve to be.

The journey towards freedom within my body has been the greatest act of my life. Regardless of what else I accomplish, this fight to become a better friend to body will remain the bravest thing I’ve ever done. And I will fight alongside anyone who wants to unlock this same liberation within themselves.

I’m a Doctor of Physical Therapy, a pelvic health specialist, sexuality counselor, full-spectrum doula & doula educator. That’s a lot, I know, but it’s all brought me to this point - where I can serve in a way that fully encompasses the entire existence of who we are. And it’s allowed me to understand not just the physical, but the emotional, spiritual, and mental health determinants that are vital to thriving.

I am a shame-free body love advocate. I’m not here to just survive, I’m here to thrive. And I can help you do the same by learning about your body, and then learning how to love it.

I’m really glad you’re here.

  • Lydia Leafstrand CEO of Leafstrand Live Strong LLC / NASM CPT & CES

    I’ve been so thankful to work with Dr. Ashley over the last year or so and her support and guidance has changed my life in such an impactful way. Ashley’s patience and grace through her expertise helped me work through multiple challenging chapters in my life and I don’t know where I would be if I hadn’t had her in my corner. Ashley made me feel heard and confident with my mental and physical health plan. I couldn’t recommend working with Dr. Ashley enough! 


  • D.L. - 2023 attendee of How to Support Sexuality During Pregnancy + Postpartum

    I want to say thank you for the great workshop on a topic that's usually not talked about. It's awesome that you're helping us understand sex during the perinatal period. In a society where discussions about sex, especially during pregnancy and postpartum can be shrouded in myths and silence, your initiative is both enlightening and empowering."

  • H.C.- Medical Student + Participant in Doula Education for Health Professionals

    We wanted to reach out and say thank you so much for coming to Tufts and training our new class of doulas!!! We truly could not do this without you! We are so grateful for the energy you bring and your willingness to work closely with us to build an ongoing relationship with MSDP. We have learned so much from both of you: the history of doulas and ob/gyn, the power of verbal first aid, supportive laboring positions, and so much more. Thank you for always offering to be a resource for us and keeping us as part of the Allo Doula community!

  • B. S. - Coaching Client

    "After just one session, I feel better and smarter about how my body works and have the tools and exercises I can use to improve my health - physical, mental, and - yes, emotional."

  • A.C. - Pelvic floor client

    Dr. Ashley is a fantastic pelvic floor PT. I saw her when I was pregnant with my first and not only is she knowledgeable of anatomy and physiology, but her passion and ability to educate about pregnancy was a huge bonus. Her energy was calming, and she has a presence of innate wisdom and confidence that helped me trust my body and baby during pregnancy.
