I specialize in helping clients who are coping with anxiety-related disorders, depression, mood disorders, PTSD, ADHD, trauma and general life stress.
Personally, I love helping clients take back control over their mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual health and bring balance into your life.

“I’ve been working with Ashley for about 6 months now. During our time together Ashley weaves in a variety of techniques that are specific to what my body and mind needs. Our sessions are never the same, which I really appreciate!
While working through a job transition, I was having trouble sleeping. Ashley started to weave in practices (poses and meditations) and gave me simple ways for me to recreate them at home. I’ve never slept better!
She’s very personable and easy to talk with. When we work together I feel like I’m with someone who truly cares about my well being.”
“I had been struggling with anxiety and depression for over 10 years. After meeting with Ashley I just knew she could help me. Ashley came up with a personalized program for me that allowed me to open up about my struggles and give me techniques to work through them. Her ability to guide and mentor me on how to manage life has been invaluable. I really appreciated her intuitive nature in finding ways to combat these struggles with me; drawing from shadow work and the subtle body practices.
Within 3 sessions, I felt more in control of my anxiety and depression and just feel more grounded in life! For the first time in a long time I can say I am truly happy. I know how to manage my anxiety and depression in a much more impactful way.
Also, I really enjoyed that no session was the same and really adjusted around what was going on with me and how we could protect and manage through together. I am a spiritual person and Ashley was able to take that part of me and weave it into our sessions in order to protect and enhance my spiritual side. I was able to tap into that part of me in cool ways during each session making me feel more confident with my spiritual self.
I highly recommend working with Ashley, you will truly get so much more than you ever knew you needed through her programs!”
