Ashley serves as the Director of Children and Family Ministry at Oak City Church and is passionate about helping others connect more deeply with themselves, others, and God. Her desire to create spaces of true rest comes from personal experience—years spent caregiving for her husband through a long health journey, staying home with her two daughters, and serving in various ministry roles, including church planting and women's ministry. With an interest in counseling and spiritual direction, she brings to the retreat her gifts of hospitality, organization, and empathy—offering a warm, welcoming space for women to feel safe, seen, and refreshed.
