Ashley has been in the marketing and events industry for over 20 years. She has spent the last 18 years growing her event planning and marketing company, Hello Productions, into a well-recognized brand in the industry. She manages its headquarters in Pittsburgh, PA and travels nationally for events.

Ashley enjoys mentoring, so in 2020 she created AM Konsulting to help others who were looking to break into the industry and/or entrepreneurship.

AM Konsulting now offers Health Coaching with a specific focus on stress management, autoimmune disease, and navigating a cancer diagnosis and/or a genetic predisposition to cancer.

Why health coaching? Ashley’s own health journey began when she was diagnosed at 26 years old with an autoimmune disease called sarcoidosis. This led to surgery, being on steroids for two years, and visiting specialist after specialist.

A decade later, she received a positive test result for the BRCA1 gene mutation after her Mom was diagnosed with Stage 3 ovarian cancer and tested positive for the gene. This led to another turn in her journey that included multiple surgeries, a refocus on mental health, but then also, a desire to help others going through the same thing.

Ashley has always been a health and fitness fanatic, from growing up as a dancer and “gym rat,” to learning how to manage stress and relearn proper nutrition after her sarcoidosis diagnosis and a stressful career as an event planner. There is so much more to her story, but now she wants to hear yours.
