Ashley McIntosh
BA Psych Honours, Certified Professional Coach
From 2005 to 2010, Ashley combined her Psychology degree with life coaching and nutrition certifications to help women heal from disordered eating through private sessions and group workshops. In 2010, she ended her practice to become a mother of two children and to co-create and facilitate the iGirl workshop with Saleema Noon.
After directing the iGirl workshop and co-creating the iGuy workshop for 6 years, in 2016 Ashley decided to bring their messages to younger children by creating the iKid workshop.
It is for iKid that Ashley wrote The Girl and the Sun. It serendipitously transformed into a picture book and a wonderful tool for anyone wanting to continue Ashley’s teachings in the home and classroom, so she decided to publish it and make it available to everyone.
Ashley now uses her book and her sun, cloud, and rainbow metaphors to teach self-development workshops to adults in a variety of mediums, including a workshop that parents can take with their kids, and a 6 week workshop series that allows parents time for themselves to explore their own emotions, thoughts, and hearts. She also offers individual sessions for adults and teenagers who want to live a heart-centred life.
“Ashley’s vulnerability in expressing her own fears and sharing her transformation is nothing less than courageous and inspires courage in others. Through her teaching, I have learned to trust my own intuition and embrace my deepest fears as my greatest gifts. I am so grateful to have received her light and contribution. ”
