Ashley Blackington is working at the intersection of care and communication, building practical tools and spaces that support caregivers through real-life challenges.
Ashley is available for speaking engagements, consulting, and partnerships.
Dr. Ashley Blackington is a clinical strategist, care ecosystem builder, and passionate advocate for the invisible labor of family caregiving.
A board-certified Occupational Therapist with over 14 years of experience across hospital, rehab, and home settings, she brings both clinical depth and lived experience to her work designing tools, spaces, and conversations that support caregivers at every stage.
She is the founder of Dovetail, the creator of Home Field Advantage, and the host of AND/BOTH Podcast.
Ashley’s work reimagines caregiving not as a private burden, but as a collective challenge- one that requires infrastructure, acknowledgment, and empathy. Through technology, conversation, and clinical insight, she’s building a future where caregivers are not just seen, but supported.
After more than a decade in direct patient care roles and then building a private practice, the same friction points kept surfacing: caregivers do not have the tools they need to manage care effectively and it is taking a toll on their health, and, ultimately, the health of the people they care for.

“Caregivers need infrastructure, not more sacrifice. We must build systems that help families sustain care and stay well.”
