Speaking Engagements and Trainings

Ashlee Reese, LMHC, is a sought-after Keynote Speaker in Kitsap, known for her insightful and disarming presence at various events and community settings. Topics she's been invited to discuss have included: the power of play, mental health issues, loss, parenting, attachment styles, and more.

 

Her talent for sharing meaningful illustrations and relatable analogies shines through, making her a favorite among those who attend her talks. She presents information with warmth and with passion - engaging the audience with real-life examples and with real-time feedback. "Teaching and presenting, for me, is like one big conversation I want to have with everyone. Just like in a good cooking class — I want us all to get our hands in the pot, taste as we go, and leave with something tangible. Learning isn’t just about the intel; it's about engaging the materials, getting curious, stirring things up, and finding meaning in the dialogue we accomplished together."

It's common to hear people say that Ashlee is approachable, a breadth of knowledge, and "breaks things down in a unique and digestible way". 

Below are a few samples of speaking engagements she has had the honor of presenting in the past. If you would like to invite Ashlee to speak, please reach out to collaborate.

PAST EVENT
Moment From the Heart: Embracing Playful Mothering. You may not think of the verse, "Rejoice with those who rejoice, and mourn with those who mourn," as a principle of play. However, with summer approaching, Ashlee will speak on fostering play in our homes - and in doing so - show us how empathetic insight can grow within our parenting. Play is more than a task, it is a language we can connect to, emotions we can attune to, in joy and sorrow.
