The Crest Suite

Private coaching for high-achieving Black women leaders

Screening required. Limited openings.

Private coaching for high-achieving Black women leaders.

This engagement provides C-Suite–level support for your real life, offering the same depth, discretion, and strategic clarity typically reserved for senior executives applied to the full scope of your life.

THIS IS FOR YOU IF…

You are highly capable and quietly exhausted
Tired of sacrificing time with family, friends, and doing things you most enjoy
ready to make real changes, not just talk about them
in a pivotal season (new role, grief, health scare, leadership conflict, relocation, burnout recovery, faith shift)
holding it together publicly while privately running on fumes
You want support that does not ask you to perform or explain yourself

THIS IS NOT FOR YOU IF…

you want a quick fix without changing how you live, lead, and decide
you’re looking for crisis care (we can refer you to the right support)
you want private coaching but aren’t willing to put forth the investment, accountability or follow-through

How the Crest Suite Works

The Crest Suite is intentionally intimate, private, and limited.
You receive:

One-on-one coaching with Ashley Norman
A protected space to think, feel, and decide without judgment
Support between sessions through The Ground platform
Healing-centered practices that support your nervous system, boundaries, and clarity

The work is guided by the Higher Ground Method™, which helps you reconnect to your body, your truth, and your standards.

What We Focus On

While each engagement is customized, clients commonly work on:

Capacity protection and leadership sustainability
Rebuild boundaries without guilt
Decision-making without urgency or overextension
Identity alignment beyond role or title
Reconnect with joy, relationships, and faith
Leading with authority without self-abandonment

What Makes This Different

C-Suite–level support for your whole life, not just your role
This is not coaching designed to make you perform better inside broken systems. It is executive-level support applied to your leadership, relationships, health, and internal capacity so success no longer costs you your life.
We focus on what you protect, not just what you produce
Instead of chasing outcomes, we establish standards that protect your body, relationships, joy, and voice so your life begins to feel aligned again.
Healing-centered, not performance-driven
In the Crest Suite, healing is not something you earn after success. It is the foundation that allows you to keep leading without losing yourself.
Standards over strategies
We do not give you more to do. We help you establish personal standards that govern access, availability, and decision-making so your leadership becomes sustainable by design.

Your questions answered

Common questions

Is this therapy?

No.

Therapy is a clinical service focused on diagnosing and treating mental health conditions. It is provided by licensed clinicians and often centers clinical treatment and symptom management.

Mind Your Higher Ground offers healing-centered coaching.

Healing-centered coaching supports restoration, capacity, and sustainability in daily life. Our work integrates reflection, narrative awareness, somatic practices, and practical tools to help Black women live and lead with greater alignment.

We do not diagnose, treat, or provide clinical mental health care. Many participants are also in therapy and find healing-centered coaching valuable for applying insights, building tools, and supporting real-life integration.

In short, therapy treats clinical mental health conditions. Healing-centered coaching supports integration, resilience, and lived practice.

What if I’m in a crisis?

We are not crisis care. If you need immediate support, we will help you get connected to the right resources.

Can my job pay for this?

Yes, in many cases coaching through Mind Your Higher Ground can be covered using professional development, leadership development, executive coaching, or wellness budgets.

Our coaching is positioned as leadership sustainability and performance support. It focuses on decision-making clarity, capacity management, burnout prevention, emotional regulation, and practical leadership tools that support long-term effectiveness and retention.

Reimbursement policies vary by organization, so participants are responsible for confirming eligibility with their employer. We can provide receipts, program descriptions, and documentation upon request to support internal approval.
