HI
I'm Ashley.
"I'm a forever learner first, teacher second." — Ashley Kumar, DPT
I am a dedicated physical therapist with over a decade of experience, and I specialize in helping women reduce stress and improve their well-being through holistic remedies. I’ve seen firsthand the profound impact that stress has on both the mind and body, which is why I teach women how to use natural techniques like breathwork, mindfulness, and nutrition to calm their nervous system, regain balance, and feel their best. My approach combines evidence-based physical therapy with holistic methods to help women thrive in their daily lives.
Embrace the transformative power of stress reduction with me, a dedicated Physical Therapist whose journey is defined by purpose. Guided by faith, my path unfolded after surviving a harrowing fall, pushing me toward a career in Physical Therapy. The challenges continued with the birth of my "Irish twins," leading to Adrenal Burnout and a profound healing journey through the discovery of breath and holistic living.
In over 12 years of physical therapy, I've witnessed the profound impact of correct breathing on healing. Now, through my in person events and online courses, I share this knowledge. If you're an overwhelmed woman, a mom seeking holistic wellness, or someone wanting to enhance core strength and relieve stress, join me on this transformative journey.
My Mission
My mission is to guide women through the journey of stress management and holistic healing, starting with the art of breathwork. Whether that be with exercise, while sleeping, or managing stress and anxiety in your busy season of life.
My Goal
My goal is to be a positive, encouraging online presence by living my life centered around wellness, both personally and professionally.
