Nice to meet you

I'm Ahsha
healer, trainer,
& maker of things.

By day I'm an occupational therapist helping people reclaim their independence. By evening I'm a personal trainer helping bodies move the way they were meant to. And in between? I create handmade goods that make a house feel like home.

A Little About Me

I've always been someone who
can't pick just one thing.

Growing up, I was the kid who wanted to do everything. That curiosity led me to earn my Master's degree in Occupational Therapy—a field where I get to help people rebuild their lives after illness, injury, or just the natural challenges of aging.

But helping people in a clinical setting wasn't enough. I saw a gap between therapy and long-term wellness, so I became a certified personal trainer. And then there's my creative side—I founded Homebodi Knot Co. on Etsy because I believe your space should feel as good as your body.

That's the thread: everything I do is about helping people feel at home—in their body and in their space.

The Many Sides of Me

Three passions. One purpose.

Everything I do comes back to the same thing: helping people live better, feel better, and love the life they're in.

01

Occupational Therapist

With a Master's degree and active clinical practice, I help patients regain function and independence after injury, illness, or age-related changes.

Personal Training

What makes my
training different.

Most trainers count reps. I read your body. My clinical background as an OT means I spot compensations, imbalances, and movement patterns that others miss entirely.

Functional Movements

Exercises that prepare you for real life, not just the gym

Form-First Philosophy

Quality over quantity, every single rep

Senior Wellness Focus

Balance, mobility, fall prevention, and independence

My Etsy Shop

Homebodi Knot Co.

When I'm not in the clinic or the gym, you'll find me creating. Homebodi Knot Co. is my handmade shop on Etsy—a collection of pieces made with care, intention, and a whole lot of love.

I believe the spaces we live in matter just as much as how we move through them. Every piece I create is meant to bring warmth and personality to your home.
