Ashley, LLMSW — Your Neighborhood Hope Dealer

Therapist · Healing-Centered Consultant · Founder of Influential Touch, LLC & Pouring With Purpose™

Ashley Jenkins created Influential Touch, LLC and Pouring with Purpose™ Wellness Collective from the tension of two truths: I loved serving, leading and helping others — and she was quietly breaking inside.

As a therapist, consultant and woman of faith, she knows what it means to carry real-life grief, hidden burnout and unspoken emotional weight while still showing up for everyone else. Ashley lived as the “strong friend,” the high-functioning professional, the helper who doesn’t always have space to fall apart.

These spaces were birthed out of that journey — out of breakdowns, breakthroughs, sitting with God in the messy middle, and realizing that healing and calling are never in competition. You don’t have to choose between being effective and being honest about what hurts.

Ashley's work now is to create healing-centered environments where women of color, helpers, leaders and purpose-driven professionals can breathe again, name what they’re carrying, and build a life that honors both their assignment and their humanity.
