Work Play Zen

Ashley Baptiste is a project manager turned wellness founder, a mother of three, and the creator of Work Play Zen, an integrative brand devoted to balance. She guides busy humans through life’s big transitions: birth, marriage, grief, moves, new ventures—using simple daily practices: breathwork, gentle yoga, Reiki-infused relaxation, and rituals that honor lineage and change. Her path was shaped by grief and grit. She rebuilt her life by weaving together what she knows best: systems and soul. She is certified in yoga and Reiki and draws from Ayurveda, astrology, and DISC-informed insights on how people move, lead, and love. You’ll feel influences from Ghana and Dominica in her tea meditations, herbal wisdom, and affirmations; grounded, earthy, and joyful. On Insight Timer, you’ll find short, nourishing sessions designed for real life: five-minute resets between meetings, bedtime wind-downs for caregivers, new-moon intention settings, breathwork for anxious minds, and poetic pep talks from her alter ego, the “Astro-Poet in Boots.” Expect clear structure with a soft heart, the calm of a spa, the practicality of a project plan. Ashley believes balance isn’t a destination; it’s a rhythm. If you’re building a family, a business, a career, or rebuilding after a hard season, her hope is to give you tools you can use today. Follow for weekly practices, seasonal circles, and guided rituals that help you hydrate, harmonize, and come home to yourself.
