I'm Ashley Contorno
On June 3, 2023, my husband died. The love of my life. We had been together for nearly a decade. We built a business together, bought property together, shared a life I thought would last forever. When he died, my world shattered.
What followed was not a graceful rebuilding process. It was raw, chaotic, and often brutal. I had to relearn who I was — not as a wife, not as a partner, but as a person standing alone for the first time in a decade. Part of that meant reclaiming my sexual confidence — a conversation almost nobody has honestly, especially after loss.
My story also includes a long battle with bulimia — a fight that shaped my understanding of body image, shame, and what it really takes to come out the other side. I've built and sold businesses. I competed in powerlifting. I earned my Doctorate of Physical Therapy. I've hosted a few podcasts and been a guest on many others, sharing my experiences with grief, intimacy, and rebuilding. And through all of it, the throughline has been the same: a rejection of societal norms and a refusal to let anyone else define my path.
I built this coaching practice because the support I needed didn't exist. Now it does.
