Coaching Team
At Salon we are about helping members invest in their own personal and professional growth as well as supporting and elevating our community. We want our membership to feel confident in their rightful place at the table and be vocal about their point of view and ultimately effect change for the greater good. To that end, we have been assembling a team of coaches, curated with you in mind.
During your new member onboarding appointment, please tell us about your membership goals, and we are committed to helping you reach them! The coaching team is composed of experts in their field from executive coaching to health and wellness, spiritual, financial and career coaching.
It’s an honor to introduce the Salon22 Coaching Team:
As a leader in the field of professional sports entertainment for over 19 years, working for teams in both the NBA and NFL, Ashley has had the unique opportunity to coach hundreds of young adults during an especially important time in their lives. As their leader, she made it her mission to not only elevate their performance quality but also develop poised, healthy, happy and well-rounded individuals off stage, so they could use their experience to achieve success in their personal and professional lives as well. Due to her love for inspiring/mentoring, her own personal & spiritual transformation journey, and her passion for mental health & wellness, Ashley spent several years building her coaching skillset, and Soul Werk Coaching was born. As a life & wellness coach, she is committed to helping her clients reach their highest potential by providing loving support, encouragement and accountability. Clients are guided through mindset work, habit change, spiritual development and perspective shifting to overcome limiting beliefs.
Her coaching sessions are intended to not only be enlightening and powerful, but light, enjoyable and even fun. Ashley’s goal is to help all compatible clients get clear on who they really are and what they really want so they can fully share their unique gifts & talents with the world and ultimately love the life they live.
