Ashlin Hadden serves as founder and CEO of Ashlin Hadden Insurance and created Essence Protection, one of the country’s leading insurance programs dedicated solely to the sexual wellness industry. Licensed across 48 states, she has developed a reputation for helping businesses secure coverage in areas where traditional insurance options often fall short.
Throughout the past decade, Hadden has become a nationally recognized educator and speaker, making complicated insurance topics easier for business owners to understand. She has spoken at industry events and contributed to publications and podcasts focused on entrepreneurship, specialty insurance, and risk management.
Her goal is clear: protect businesses while giving owners the knowledge they need to recognize and manage the risks that could threaten their operations.
Hadden is now recognized nationwide for her work as a speaker, educator, and advocate for specialty insurance. She frequently addresses conferences around the world, translating technical insurance concepts into practical guidance for business owners. Whether advising clients, mentoring entrepreneurs, or speaking before industry audiences, she emphasizes education that helps prevent problems before claims occur.
Essence Protection was established as a dedicated division of Ashlin Hadden Insurance to serve adult businesses throughout the United States. The agency designs insurance programs specifically for the industry’s unique exposures and works with carriers familiar with its operational and regulatory environment rather than relying on standard commercial policies.
Its team provides comprehensive commercial insurance services while focusing on education as much as coverage. By helping clients uncover hidden policy gaps and understand their protection, Essence Protection aims to support business growth with knowledgeable guidance and specialized insurance solutions.
