At eight years old, Ashley was diagnosed with Guillain-Barré syndrome and spent nearly a year in the hospital after losing the ability to walk. Despite doctors believing she would never walk again, her mother helped her slowly regain my mobility through years of dedication and recovery. Today, Ashley is a licensed professional counselor, using her experience to help others find resilience, healing, and hope.
