Ashely Palmano

Recovery Coach, Master’s inBehavioral Psychology
Hey, I’m Ashley Elizabeth! I’m an East Coast girl at heart, but my journey has taken me all over the world. I grew up in North Carolina, but after college, I packed my bags and chased my California dream in 2013. I spent nearly a decade there, earning my Master’s in Behavioral Psychology and working as a Special Ed teacher in Silicon Valley. But something was missing. So, I took a leap, moved to Costa Rica, and found myself in the middle of a deep detox—physically, emotionally, and spiritually. That’s where everything shifted. I stepped into the retreat world, using my background in behavior and education to support sacred ceremonies and healing spaces. I battled alcohol and substance abuse for years, stuck in denial until a DUI in 2019 forced me to face the truth. That moment—though painful—was the wake up call I needed. I made the decision to get sober and truly commit to my healing. It hasn’t been easy, but I’ve spent the past years building a life that’s not just about staying clean, but about thriving. Through my own journey, I’ve learned so much about what it really takes to heal —not just physically, but mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. I’ve created a personal protocol that keeps me grounded, and now, I’m here to help others do the same. Whether you need a sober companion, guidance, or just someone who truly gets it, I’m here. You don’t have to do this alone. A little about me beyond sobriety… I’m happiest when I’m outside, hiking through nature or soaking up the sun. Yoga and movement are a big part of my life, and I have a deep love for music, sound baths, and anything that feeds the soul. You can often find me unwinding in a bubble bath or enjoying a slow afternoon picnic. Life is about simple joys, and I try to soak them in every chance I get. Let’s walk this path together.
