Finding Purpose After Struggle

Ashley Vande Slunt always had an entrepreneurial spirit, but it wasn’t until navigating workplace traumas that her true calling came to life.

With a heart for healing and a mind for growth, she created Nature of Being—a haven focused on nervous system regulation, self-esteem, mindset, and stress management.

Her mission? To ride the waves of life alongside women and moms, helping them find their strength and rise with love.

Balancing Life, Business, and Motherhood

Launching her coaching practice in March 2023 while raising two young children and juggling three jobs was no small feat.

Ashley knows firsthand the wild dance between nurturing others and trying not to burn out herself.

Managing time, energy, and finances remains a daily challenge, but her dedication never wavers: “I’m here to show other women that they don’t have to do it alone.”

Breakthroughs That Change Lives

One of Ashley’s most powerful moments came when a client uncovered a lifelong pattern of not feeling safe in her own body.

Through their work together, the client shifted from stuckness to momentum, reclaiming control of her body and mindset.

“These are the breakthroughs that fuel me,” Ashley says.

“It’s about creating real, lasting change that starts from within.”

Overcoming Self-Doubt With Heart

In the beginning, Ashley struggled with the fear that others might not see the value in her work.

She realized the key was changing her own self-talk and speaking about her services from the heart, not just the head.

“I used to intellectualize everything,” she shares. “Now, I focus on connection and it’s working.”

Walking the Talk: Living What She Teaches

Ashley’s work is rooted in deep integrity.

With strong self-regulation practices at the core of her life, she leads by example.

“I couldn’t stay sane without the same tools I teach,” she laughs. She practices what she preaches—and it shows.

Lessons in Timing and Compassion

Looking back, Ashley wishes she had jumped onto social media earlier. But she also extends herself grace, honoring the timing of her journey.

“I wasn’t ready before and that’s okay,” she says. “Now I’m here, and I’m excited for what’s ahead.”

Dreaming Bigger: A Life of Service and Balance

Ashley’s vision is clear: living in a cozy home with her family, serving women through holistic coaching, and making it home in time for family dinners.

Financial strain has made the journey harder, but she remains close to the breakthrough that will allow her to transition fully into her dream role.

Her ultimate goal? To inspire more women and moms to embrace a holistic path to wellness, and to step into a life of empowered embodiment because healing isn’t just possible, it’s their birthright.
