Transform Your EVENT with Ashley, THe FAMILY WELLNESS EXPERT

We've been asking the wrong question. We keep wondering, “How do we raise resilient kids?” when the real question is:

👉 How do we create a world where mothers have the support, resources, and mental well-being to raise thriving children?

Right now, motherhood is treated like a solo sport—with moms expected to carry the weight of the world while smiling through the exhaustion. The result? Burnout, isolation, and a society that undervalues the very people shaping the next generation.

And it doesn’t have to be this way.

Ashley Gerhard is on a mission to change the way we think about motherhood—not as an individual burden, but as the foundation of a healthy, thriving society. And she’s got the research (and lived experience) to back it up.

🔹 She’s not just talking about it—she’s lived it. As a mother and bonus mom to seven kids (yes, seven), she knows firsthand what it means to pour from an empty cup and still be expected to get up and make snacks.
🔹 She’s got the credentials to back it up. With a background in psychology, trauma research, and nervous system regulation, Ashley brings science-based solutions to the conversation.
🔹 She’s spent over a decade in the trenches. As a doula, childbirth educator, parent coach, and yoga teacher, she has guided hundreds of families through the biggest transitions of their lives.
🔹 She knows how to get people talking. Whether it’s a podcast, a conference, or a packed retreat, Ashley blends humor, research, and real-life stories that make even the heaviest topics engaging and actionable.

 Ashley’s signature framework—rooted in her 7 Principles of Support—helps women go from burnt out to badass and from overwhelmed to empowered.
