Meet Ally

Practice Works member Ally Leonard is a certified yoga instructor and life coach, who teaches both Hatha and pelvic floor yoga to students of all ages, with a special love for working with adults 50 and beyond. Her approach is one-on-one and personal: she meets every client exactly where they are physically, helping her clients feel stronger, steadier, and more at home in their bodies.

Ally is married, a mom of two, and now an empty nester, so she knows firsthand that life's transitions ask a lot of our bodies and our sense of self. That perspective shapes her work, creating a space that's supportive, practical, and judgment-free, whether you're just starting out, recovering, or ready to deepen your practice.

When she's not on the mat, you'll find her hanging out with her husband, traveling or tending to her ever-growing collection of houseplants.

Connect with Ally through our Member Directory on the Practice Works website.

Meet Ashley

Practice Works member Ashley Stringer is a licensed independent clinical social worker and owner of Shining Minds Counseling Services. Ashley has worked in the social work and behavioral health field for nearly 20 years and has experience in direct clinical practice, supervision, and behavioral health leadership.

Ashley works with clients who may be dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, stress, relationship concerns, life transitions, or simply feeling overwhelmed with everything life has thrown their way. She believes therapy should be a place where people can be honest, feel supported, and also be challenged when needed. Her goal is to help clients better understand themselves, recognize patterns that may be getting in their way, and develop practical tools to move forward.

Outside of private practice, Ashley works in community mental health leadership and provides clinical supervision to social workers working toward independent licensure. She is also currently pursuing her PhD in Social Work at Alabama A&M University, where her interests include the social work workforce, professional development, and supporting social workers early in their careers.

For Ashley, social work has always been about helping people recognize their strengths and realize that change is possible, even when life gets complicated. She hopes to provide a space where clients can do just that.
