About Me
Hi, I’m Ashley Hatfield.
I’m a Christian Life Coach, motivational speaker, and writer. I teach people how to combine Scripture with psychology-based tools for mental health healing, a secure identity in Christ, living a purposeful life, and cultivating healthier relationships.
My Testimony
The most significant moment of my life was becoming a Born-Again Christian at age 26. Before that, I had lived through a lot of trauma and mental health struggles. I have faced Bipolar Disorder, Borderline Personality Disorder, OCD, Complex PTSD, and Postpartum Depression and Psychosis after the birth of my second child.
Through my faith journey, I learned that God loves me, covers me in His grace, and has a purpose for my pain. Along with therapy, medication, and my own study, my relationship with God became the foundation of my healing. It also taught me that everything I suffered, and everything I did to heal, has put me in a position to help others.
I am grateful to say that I have overcome so many of my mental health symptoms and diagnoses. Through my relationship with God, and a lot of hard work, I now live a life full of love, purpose, and genuine peace.
My Approach
I am a nondenominational, Bible-believing Christian. I put Scripture first as the ultimate guide and support it with psychology, never the other way around. I also strongly encourage conventional therapy, medication when needed, and daily wellness practices, all supported by a faith-filled life.
My Training
Currently pursuing a Bachelor’s in Religion with a Concentration in Christian Counseling and a Minor in Psychology at Liberty University Divinity School, working toward ordination
Certified Life Coach, Transformation Academy
Certified Holistic Health Coach, Institute for Integrative Nutrition
Bachelor’s in Broadcast Journalism, Emerson College
My Heart
A mental health challenge is not a death sentence. It is an obstacle to overcome, and one God has already equipped you for. No matter your suffering, there is still so much life left to live.
Beyond the Work
I live in Massachusetts with my husband, Mark, and our two children, Natalie and Ronan, along with our rescue dogs, Minnie Belle and Mace. Our home church is Faith Community Church in Hopkinton, MA where we are blessed with a wonderful community. I also love exercising, cooking, and reading personal and professional development books.
Let’s Work Together
I’m available to speak at churches, conferences, and retreats, and I also offer workshops and freelance writing for your audience. I’d love to bring my message of healing and hope to your community. Please go to me contact page to be in touch.
Blessings,
Ashley
