Helping you understand your alarm signals and putting out the fire.

Grounded & Growing helps individuals struggling with chronic emotional and physical pain. Persistent pain and emotional distress change our brains. Ashley Kuhnau has 20 years of experience working with chronic pain in physical therapy. Now tackling the mental roadblocks to physical issues she works with your amazing neuroplastic brain and its ability to “rewire” resulting in eliminating your symptoms of physical and emotional pain. What’s in the brain is in the body and what’s in the body is in the brain. Let’s use this to your benefit and begin listening to the body’s signals so far deeper healing can begin.

There is just something about her, she has a gift and is more insightful than she realizes. The best part is, it’s just who she is, so it will never go away.

Ashley Kuhnau is a Certified Life Coach, Master Practitioner of NLP, and Certified Brainspotting Practitioner while also holding a degree in physical therapy located in Alexandria, MN.

With the tools of Neuro-Linguistic Programming and Brainspotting, we will work together to overcome the mental roadblocks you face on any level. Located in Alexandria, MN but helping clients worldwide, I have seen the transformative nature of these tools and I can’t wait to share them with you.

The combination of Brainspotting and Neuro-Linguistic Programming paired with my background in physical therapy sets me apart from other life coaches. My background and training are quite unique when it comes to working with the mental and emotional components of pain. It has been so rewarding to see the changes unfold in my clients. Equipped with these powerful tools, I am here to help you understand the thought pattern you may be stuck in. Instead of living moment by moment around physical and emotional pain, you will feel free to think and feel other things. This will allow you to better your relationships, health, and happiness.

Through Brainspotting we can unlock pain and trauma in the brain and body. You can conquer your fears and feel free.

I was at the point in my life where I felt stuck, I wanted more but I wasn't really sure what that was or how to obtain it. Ashley was recommended to me so I made an appointment. It was truly one of the best decisions I've ever made. I completed the Life Purpose course along with Brainspotting, which really brought another level to breakthroughs. Not only were we able to identify what needed attention or healing, but we were able to restore the thought patterns that were making me feel like change wasn't possible. I just adored working with Ashley, she has such a kind hearted vibe about her that you really do feel like you can open up and get to the root of what's going on, and I believe you get the most healing when you get to the root. I'm incredibly grateful our paths have crossed and forever an advocate of Brainspotting.

"This program definitely helped me sort through my confusion and settle my mind. I felt like my head was just spinning. Now, I feel more focused on an end goal. It helped me to narrow down and see a direction that I could take where my life experienced and passions could be put to good use."

"The Life Purpose Program really gets you thinking in a different way, very thought provoking. I was given real world, applicable tools to move forward."

"I knew where I wanted to be in my future, but the path seemed so muddled. Ashley helped me to see a clear path to my goals and to take steps towards them. I cannot recommend her services highly enough!"

"I searched out a Life Coach when I was struggling with negative thoughts and finding it hard to enjoy the blessings I am fortunate to have in my life. And I found Ashley with Grounded & Growing and it was one of the best decisions I have made. It is so good to have someone talk with you through the tough thoughts and help you find tools and resources that can help you navigate these crazy times and be more positive and grateful. My highest recommendation here. Thank you!"

"Before working with Ashley I always struggle with the mental side of athletics and having confidence in myself on and off the field. After doing several sessions of brainspotting I began to notice that my mindset had shifted and I am now confident in any task I participate in."

People often hire an NLP-trained coach because they want someone with the steadfastness required to go to hard places, someone able to explore the challenging emotional reasons that drive behavior.
