About me
Karen Ash, ACC is an ICF-certified Neuroplastic Symptom Recovery Coach (NSRC) and
founding member of the ATNS Coaches Advisory Council. After 34 years living with chronic
migraine, a 2020 burnout forced a five-month medical leave — and introduced her to the
mindbody approach to healing. That discovery changed everything. She left her career in
pharmaceutical management, went back to school, and became an ICF-certified coach
dedicated to helping others heal from neuroplastic pain and symptoms.
Karen founded Migraine Oasis, a brand dedicated to the nuances of migraine pain recovery, and
hosts the Migraine Oasis Podcast and YouTube channel. She also founded HealABLE
Pathways, the event producer behind the Chronic Pain Healing Summit (November 13–14,
2026) — a global collaboration with the industry’s leading non-profit organizations: ATNS (US),
Living Proof (UK), and the Stichting Emovere Foundation (NL).
Her coaching is grounded in Pain Neuroscience Education, Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT),
and Emotional Awareness and Expression Therapy (EAET). She has trained with leaders in
mindbody medicine, including Dr. Howard Schubiner, Dr. Mark Lumley, Dr. David Clarke, Dr.
Dan Ratner, Nicole Sachs, LCSW, and Alan Gordon, LCSW. She works with an international
clientele via telehealth from Basel, Switzerland.
