ASHES TO ASCENT COACHING
Lifting Others. Rising Stronger. Discovering How.
Transform Your Mindset, Transform Your Life
Mindset, Resilience, Mental Performance Coaching and Keynote speaking for people ready to overcome adversity, strengthen mindset, and take action.
Transformational coaching is a deep, inside-out approach that helps people create lasting change—not just new goals, but a new way of thinking, feeling, and living. It works at the level of identity, beliefs, values, and mindset so you can break old patterns, rebuild confidence, and move forward with purpose after major adversity, trauma, or life-changing events.
In my work, transformational coaching helps clients:
Overcome limiting beliefs and self-doubt rooted in trauma, or major life changes
Cultivate mental toughness, resilience, and emotional stamina under pressure
Rebuild their story from “what broke me” to “what built me”
Develop daily habits, mindset, and habits that support long-term growth in health, relationships, and performance
This is not motivational talk or “positive thinking.” It’s a practical partnership that uses real tools, reflection, and accountability to help you transform adversity into strength and grow beyond where you were before.
Mindset, resilience, and mental performance coaching helps clients strengthen how they think, respond to stress, and perform under pressure. It builds clearer thinking, emotional control, confidence, adaptability, and consistent action in demanding situations through guided strategies and accountability.
Who I Serve
I serve men and women who are committed to overcoming physical and mental challenges, growing through adversity, and creating a better life for themselves.
I enjoy working with first responders, veterans, and amputees who understand what it means to carry hard experiences and still choose to move forward.
I use my lived experience as a former firefighter/ paramedic and 2-time amputee to be an example of post-traumatic growth, and to show that pain does not have to define the rest of your story. Through coaching, encouragement, and practical mindset work, I help people build resilience, reclaim purpose, and take meaningful steps toward the life they want.
