I’m Dr. Ashley Blackington,
a board-certified Occupational Therapist, caregiver advocate, and founder of Dovetail® and Home Field Advantage.

For over 14 years, I’ve worked across hospitals, inpatient rehab, and community settings, helping people and families adapt to the often overwhelming realities of caregiving. But what I saw, again and again, was that the biggest struggle wasn’t just the logistics. It was the isolation, the pressure, the quiet emotional weight of caring for someone while trying to hold the rest of your life together.

Home Field Advantage is where that experience meets practical, human-centered support. It’s the consulting and coaching arm of a larger ecosystem I’m building to support caregivers in every layer of their journey.

The Care Ecosystem includes:

  • Dovetail® is our tech platform: a digital care coordination tool designed to ease communication and reduce stress

  • Home Field Advantage offers 1:1 consulting and group support for families, as well as workplace programming for organizations ready to support caregiver employees.

  • AND/BOTH is a podcast where caregivers share their stories of what it takes to honor themselves while supporting others

  • And The Nurtured Entrepreneur Retreat is a restorative space for mother-founders — because those of us balancing caregiving and creation need care too.

Everything I create is rooted in my clinical background, but led by lived experience, because systems only work when they work for real people. My mission is to help caregivers feel supported, equipped, and never alone

Rooted in Practice. Designed for Real Life
