We’re dying to get to know you.
When Maggie moved to Nashville in 2011, she was working in the education industry. It wasn’t until she got married the following year that she realized she wanted to work for herself. Ad Astra was born in January of 2013. Her experience as the Director of a tutoring center has taught her the ins and outs of running a successful business and leading a team well, all while balancing client needs. Although she’s no longer discussing ACT scores, she still finds joy when clients tell her that someone from her team lead them to success.

Every circle has “that one girl” — the one with the lofty visions, the lengthy lists, and the spreadsheet for any event, no matter the size. Amy is, in fact, that girl. Amy has always had a knack for planning her work and working her plan. As a former Level I ICU Nurse, precision and prioritization are most certainly woven into her DNA. There is no circumstance Amy will meet without a steady, grace-filled presence, balancing any stress that accompanies the nitty gritty details. She finds utter joy in walking with couples through the ebb and flow of the planning trenches, and as an enneagram 3, Amy will never settle for anything less than an absolute job well done.

Mopsy the goldendoodle serves as the official mascot of Ad Astra. She loves to walk her neighborhood, visit the dog park, and is a huge fan of everyone she meets. Known for her even keeled temperament, obedience, and sitting on furniture like a human, Mopsy is an unbeatable companion. Despite her good behavior, her insistence on always wearing her white coat means she’s not invited to any weddings.
