Intentional living, healing rituals & lived luxury for real people with full lives.
You are juggling a real life, career, health, family, faith & dreams. My life & wellness coaching helps you live more intentionally, reset your rhythm & build healing rituals that actually fit your energy.
You don’t need a “perfect life” to work with a life coach. You just need a real one. My life & wellness coaching is designed for people who are balancing a lot & are ready to live more intentionally.
This coaching is for you if you are:
If you see yourself here, explore the paths that fit your season.
Every coaching journey is anchored in 3 pillars:
Together, we decide which pillar needs the most attention in this season of your life.
For the person managing chronic illness, burnout, stress, or grief. We build gentle, realistic healing rituals, breathwork, mindfulness, reflection, & nervous system reset practices, so your body & mind can exhale while you still show up for your life.
For the high-capacity human whose life has “too many tabs open”. We design intentional routines, boundaries, & lifestyle systems so your days line up with your values, not just your to-do list. This is intentional living in practice, not theory.
Designed Living is about intentionally shaping your everyday life to support ease, comfort, & quiet refinement. This pillar explores how your environment, routines & choices work together to reduce friction & elevate how you live, from the way your home supports you, to self-care as maintenance rather than performance, to experiences designed to restore rather than exhaust. Luxury here is lived, not displayed. It’s found in thoughtful systems, fewer decisions, and standards that make life simpler, softer & more sustainable.
Not sure which pillar you need most right now?
I’m Dr Charlene Ashley – ‘Chali-A’ Ashley, a life & wellness coach, intentional living strategist, & chronic illness warrior with over two decades in global business & organisational consulting. I am a certified Life Purpose Coach, formally trained in change management, organisational behaviour & Neuro Linguistic Programming, with advanced studies across institutions such as Harvard.
I understand what it means to carry big responsibilities, big dreams & a body that doesn’t always cooperate.
My coaching blends:
You don’t need another overwhelming “programme”. You need a simple, human process that respects your reality & still moves you forward.
If you are ready to act, you can book a Lifestyle Reset Session, a focused 60–90 minute life wellness coaching session to reset one key area.
If you prefer to talk first, you can book a Discovery Call, a 15–20 minute call to explore what you need, where you are right now, what you’re carrying, what you want to shift whether we are a fit
We clarify your priorities for this season, your energy realities, including chronic illness or burnout, then create an Intentional Living Map, your priorities for this season, your energy realities (including chronic illness or burnout) and where you want to go. And importantly, the healing rituals, boundaries & habits that will support you n this journey.
You choose the level of support that suits your season, a one-off Lifestyle Reset Session, a short Reset Package, a deeper coaching journey, or a VIP Day. All options are chronic-illness-aware, goal oriented & structured around your real life.
We coach, test & refine. You’ll get honest reflection, practical tools & compassionate accountability, not perfectionism. The goal is sustainable intentional living, not another performance, not perfection.
Choose the way you want to start.
Clients often experience:
You don’t have to know exactly what you need yet. These coaching paths are flexible starting points that we tailor to your goals, energy, & season of life.
A focused 60–90 minute life & wellness coaching session to reset one key area of your life, like routines, boundaries, decision-making, or a specific challenge. Perfect if you want focus & a plan, without a commitment. You leave with clarity, a realistic plan & first steps you can action right away.
A short coaching package designed to help you build or rebuild structure & healing habits over a few weeks. Ideal if you are in a busy season & need accountability, support & practical tools to reset your rhythm.
A deeper life & wellness coaching programme for people ready to make more significant lifestyle changes across work, health, relationships & mindset. We move at a pace that honours your energy (including chronic illness) while still driving real change.
An intensive VIP experience (online or in-person, where possible) for intentional living & lived luxury (as you define it). We map your next chapter, refine your environment & habits, then design the needed support systems to support the life you want to live & how you want your days to feel.
This is a chronic-illness-informed coaching space. We design your goals, pace, & rituals around your energy & health realities, not against them. We’ll work with what your body can sustainably give & I respect your medical team’s role at all times.
Therapy focuses on diagnosis, treatment & healing emotional or psychological conditions. Life & wellness coaching focuses on where you are now & where you want to go, your goals, habits, rituals & decisions. I don’t diagnose or treat; I help you design & live more intentionally & I’ll always encourage you to stay connected with appropriate medical or mental health support.
No. My coaching is faith-friendly & values-driven, but not pushy. Whether you identify with a particular faith, describe yourself as spiritual, or are simply values-led, we will work in a way that honours what you believe.
No. While some retreats & group spaces may be women-only, my one-to-one life & wellness coaching is open to anyone who resonates with this approach, regardless of gender.
You can start with a single Lifestyle Reset Session or a Discovery Glow Call. We’ll map out what you need, & then you decide what level of support fits your season & your budget.
You don’t have to wait for the “perfect moment” to start living more intentionally. Whether you’re managing chronic illness, leading at a high level, rebuilding after a hard season, or simply tired of feeling like you’re on autopilot, this is your invitation to choose a better way.
