From there Ashley also developed skills in ju-jitsu, always wanting to learn more. 2010 was also the year where Ashley was chosen among 4 other women to take part in a TV Pilot titled "RISE UP" (see promo video below). . In November 2011 is when Ashley took her passion for health and fitness to a new level, making it a full time job. Prior to this, Ashley was in the Federal Government.

In the early summer of 2012 Ashley was nominated for "The Best of the Best" for Personal Trainer, Strength & Conditioning Coach and Martial Arts Instructor. Ashley has already had appearances on CTV and Rogers 22. In 2013 Ashley was the host of a 6 episode series on Rogers 22 showcasing local music talent, "Ottawa Originals". Ashley is now happy to give her services to those looking to live a healthier life, both physically and emotionally. This is not a job, but a passion.
