Veteran news booker and producer Ashley Bernardi created Nardi Media, LLC, in 2015, a culmination of over a decade of booking and producing experience, television broadcasting, satellite media tours, radio tours, media strategy, and logistics. More important than her lengthy list of accolades—which include serving as a top booker for The Early Show on CBS News, the Senior Booker and Producer for energyNOW! on Bloomberg TV, Washington Post Live, and hosting a cooking show—is her passion for publicity. Her experience is steeped in journalism, which means research is a second language and creating connections with audiences is a close third. Ashley Bernardi has helped clients grow from zero exposure to household names on the New York Times Best Sellers list. She enjoys helping book authors, celebrities, non-profit organizations, and national brands increase their exposure, credibility, and potential for new opportunities. Ashley adds, "There’s nothing like having a client with a message that could change hearts, change lives, or change the world—and giving them a microphone.”

I help people create stable intimate relationships full of big love. I don’t want to just listen while you rehash your most recent fight or dissatisfaction each week. I want to help you transform your relationship without changing who you are. This isn't about "self improvement"; this is about letting go of what you're not, and learning what you need, to create the love you want.
