About Ash
I’m a life coach specialising in supporting women navigating the emotional and physical challenges of fertility. Having personally experienced the struggles of infertility, I understand how deeply this journey can impact every area of life—relationships, career, personal well-being, and even your sense of identity as a woman. I founded Next Month Coaching to help women feel more in control of their fertility path and empower them to make informed, confident decisions.
I hold a Bachelor of Psychological Studies and a Bachelor of Business (HR Management), and have furthered my education with a Microcredential in "Applying Behavioural Science to Create Change" from Monash University. Currently, I am completing a Diploma of Life Coaching with the Australian Institute of Professional Coaches and working towards my Associate Certified Coach (ACC) credential with the International Coaching Federation.
My professional background includes delivering personal development programs to women nationwide, coaching individuals across various industries on performance and growth, and designing behavior change programs for leading Australian organisations. This diverse experience has equipped me with the skills to help clients create meaningful, lasting change.
I know what it feels like to sit in the fertility clinic waiting room, surrounded by other women silently carrying the weight of their dreams and disappointments. I remember staring at the wall of “thank you” baby photo cards from women who had successfully conceived, feeling alone and angry. I felt I didn’t have anyone to talk to who could truly relate to my experience. So I created Next Month Coaching to be a space where women feel understood and supported as they navigate their fertility journey.
My coaching philosophy is simple: Coaching is an invitation for growth. It’s entirely optional, you must want to be there, and you’ll leave wondering why you didn’t do it sooner. It’s about working together with a trusted coach to reflect, gain insights, challenge boundaries, and step outside your comfort zone to create a fulfilling life on your own terms. My approach is grounded in behavioural science, with a strong focus on helping clients make changes to their life that are impactful and sustainable, while guiding them through the emotional rollercoaster of fertility treatments with a sense of control, clarity, and confidence.
My vision for Next Month Coaching is that all women and couples can navigate the path to conception and birth with courage and confidence. I want every client to feel capable of making decisions that align with their values, knowing they can handle any outcome with vulnerability and resilience. I believe in the power of kindness, humour, and courage to create a supportive and empowering space for lasting change.
Outside of work, I live in regional Victoria with my husband, young daughter, our cat, and small flock of chickens. I enjoy gardening, baking, and practicing yoga, and I love long lunches with good food and wine, and music festivals with friends. I find there's nothing quite like the smell of rain in the forest or a peaceful walk along the beach to restore my sense of balance and perspective.
Whether you are just starting your fertility journey or are already deep into treatments, I am here to walk with you. Next Month Coaching is a place where you can feel understood, supported, and empowered to take your next step—whatever that may be—with confidence.
