Get to Know Me
Hi, I’m Ashlei Lien, a mindful movement coach and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a passion for helping people connect with their bodies in meaningful and empowering ways. As someone who has navigated the journey of self-love and self-discovery, I understand how overwhelming fitness and wellness spaces can feel when they focus solely on appearances.
That’s why I’ve created a space that prioritizes joy, mindfulness, and self-compassion over weight loss or aesthetic goals. My approach to mindful movement integrates gentle guidance with an emphasis on feeling good in your body, no matter your size, shape, or fitness level. Let’s work together to create a relationship with movement that feels nourishing and sustainable—because every body deserves to move with confidence and care.
My Philosophy
Movement should be a source of joy, not judgment. I believe that every individual deserves to feel at home in their body and to move in ways that celebrate its unique abilities. By focusing on mindfulness and self-compassion, I guide clients toward building a practice of movement that nurtures their mental, emotional, and physical well-being. This journey is about progress, not perfection, and honoring where you are right now. Together, we’ll create an inclusive space where you can explore, grow, and thrive—on your terms.
Why Work With Me?
With years of experience as both a licensed therapist and a mindful movement coach, I bring a holistic and compassionate approach to wellness. I understand the unique struggles that come with navigating self-image, fitness expectations, and the pressures of modern wellness culture. My practice focuses on:
Supporting you in building a positive, sustainable relationship with movement.
Creating a non-judgmental space where every body is celebrated.
Helping you connect with your body in ways that reduce stress, build confidence, and increase joy.
If you’re looking for someone who will listen, encourage, and guide you toward movement that feels good and aligns with your goals, I’m here to help.
How Can Coaching Help?
Mindful movement coaching is about more than just exercise—it’s about developing a healthier, more compassionate relationship with your body. Coaching can help you:
Discover movement styles that feel natural, enjoyable, and sustainable.
Reduce feelings of guilt, shame, or pressure around fitness.
Improve your mental and emotional well-being through intentional, joyful movement.
Build consistency and confidence without the focus on weight loss or aesthetics.
Together, we’ll shift the narrative from “should” to choice and from “results” to experience. This is your journey, and I’m here to support you every step of the way.
