Hello, I'm
Michele Ashley

A certified meditation, yoga nidra, and 500hr Hatha Yoga Teacher and trained Life Coach, Michele blends her professional skill sets and intuitive abilities to service communities, organizations and individuals in learning how to embody inclusivity to create equitable healing and learning spaces.

Her heart is devoted to creating sacred space for others to expand, explore and engage with their own inner wisdom as a path towards liberation, love and healing. Her ability to "hold space" allows those whom she's choses to work with greater clarity, deeper insight, and higher accountability for a life lived mindfully, authentically and with integrity to be in "right relationship" with others across lines of differences.

A native New Yorker, Michele identifies as a black, cis-gendered latina female. She is the Owner of Coeur Consulting LLC, established in 2009 in NYC, Founder of Heart, Hustle & Flow, an online wellness community for healing of mind, body & soul and Co-Founder of KULA Yoga Teacher Training, an inclusive and accessible yoga teacher training dedicated to the non-appropriated practice of yoga while committed to the work of social justice and racial equity. A strong believer that every life serves a purpose, it is the driving force for her passion and dedication.

As the former Vice-Chair of the Western North Carolina Diversity Engagement Coalition in Asheville NC and former Chair of WEST, Inc. [Women Of Excellence, Strength and Tenacity, Inc.], Michele is an active member of the community and remains committed to building bridges for real conversations, authentic connections, and inclusive communities great and small.
