Martha Work Ashelman Bio Martha, a native Californian, has lived several diverse lives. As the wife of a Foreign Service Officer she lived overseas for 17 years, dragging four children through five countries. Twenty years ago she set up residence at Coolfont Resort in Berkeley Springs, West Virginia and founded and directed Coolfont's fitness programs, residential health spa and massage departments. Starting in 1987 she concentrated on developing a program to teach her greatest health achievement -- breaking free from smoking. Over 1000 people have gone through her Breakfree program in the past 18 years and her loyal "graduates" acclaim her ability as an inspirational teacher to keep them motivated and "free" of cigarettes.  Martha also served as a founding member of the Board of the International Spa Association for five years helping it grow to be a the nationally known network for the entire spa industry. In 1994 Martha was named Business Woman of the year by the West Virginia Women's Commission. Active in civic work, she serves as the Vice President of the Board of the Eastridge Health Systems, the Tri-county mental health organization. She was appointed by the governor to the WV Acupuncture Board, and is on the Advisory Committe of the Baltimore School of Massage as well. Martha received a BA degree from the University of California, and her masters degree in teaching from Trinity College in Washington, D.C. "Giving up nicotine is no small feat. From directing this program for 13 years, I know the issues that need to be addressed in order to free yourself from this addiction. It is just as serious an addiction as drugs or alcohol because of the devastating effects on health. SmokeFree offers a headstart with group support, healthy lifestyle changes, fitness activities, natural therapeutics, and helpful ways - both emotionally and physically - to deal with the discomfort. The programs are held away from the normal environment in a safe situation where smokers can trust the leaders to help them deal with the frightening prospect of going through withdrawal. If you have tried to quit with no success, I hope you'll consider attending this program." |
