About Me

My name is Ashley Ruschell, and I’m the founder of Bump to Baby Wellness. Originally from Clarion, PA, I earned my degree in Fitness and Nutrition before relocating to Chattanooga, TN, five years ago. After working as an EMT, I pursued a graduate degree in Public Health at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. While in Chattanooga, I also had the privilege of teaching yoga and pilates at Southern Soul Yoga. Throughout my career, I’ve been committed to influencing healthier communities through wellness.

In the last year, I became a mom to my beautiful daughter. As someone passionate about wellness, I made it my priority to find a postnatal program that would support a smooth recovery. What I quickly realized was a significant gap in the prenatal and postnatal wellness space—most offerings focused on a "bounce-back" culture that simply doesn't work for busy, real-life moms. I recognized that the need for a more realistic, sustainable approach to fitness was urgent.

That’s when Bump to Baby Wellness was born—a fitness program designed for moms that emphasizes functional movements, short yet effective workouts, and a focus on feeling strong and capable in this new chapter. We reject the idea of “bouncing back” and instead focus on nurturing your body to feel its best. Whether it's picking up your child without pain, jumping on the trampoline with confidence, or just getting moving during nap time, I’m here to support you on your journey.

Bump to Baby Wellness is here to help you feel strong, confident, and empowered—no matter where you are on your motherhood journey.
