About
Healing
My healing journey began over twenty years ago. Raised in an abusive home, I spent the first half of my life scared, confused, disassociated, and with little emotional support. I knew I couldn’t navigate the territory of my wounding alone so I sought out a therapist who led me to the Helix Training Program. In Helix, I found my purpose and a new therapist who for the past 18 years has been a mirror of my innate goodness and a compassionate witness to my life. The relationship to my well-being is an ongoing one that I have come to honor, appreciate, and show up for daily.
I believe for true healing to occur, we need psychological understanding and a spiritual practice. It’s essential and valuable for us to understand where we’ve been, what has hurt us, and who and what has influenced who we are. But psychological understanding and awareness are not enough
Without spirituality, our suffering has no meaning or context. We can get stuck as a victim of our wounding, unable to process the experiences and events of our lives or move forward. Spirituality shows us how to transform our suffering into something meaningful. It shows us the light in the dark, the beauty in a difficult journey, and helps us find the magic in the mundane.
A spiritual practice is one that guides us home to our hearts on a regular basis, stills the mind, and supports our evolution and personal transformation. It is a practice that reminds us that although there is little we can control, we are never alone and always supported.
When we weave together psychological understanding and spirituality, we are able to let go of who we were and step fully into who we are meant to be.
Psycho-spiritual Counseling and Intuitive Mediumship
I was trained as a psycho-spiritual counselor through The Helix Training Program in 2004; a personal healing program and 4 year training for therapists in NYC. Helix taught me that psychological awareness, mindfulness, and spiritual practice create the foundation for healing. During this training, I honed my intuition and learned how to use it in my work as a counselor and intuitive energy healer. A few years later, I felt called to study spiritual mediumship.
After 19 years of study and personal practice as a psychospiritual counselor and medium, I believe that we are spiritual beings having a human experience. Our human life is the vehicle through which our soul evolves. To live a more harmonious life it is important for us to honor the relationship between our humanity and our divinity.
“I have had the honor of working with Ashley for nearly four years now—she’s become an integral part of my life and I’m so thankful for our time together every week. She’s been a spiritual teacher, a mirror, and a friend, who has helped me understand myself in ways I never thought possible. It’s felt like coming out of a fog. With her support, I finally took a leap of faith in my career in order to make space for more soul-centered work, my now-husband and I have been able to work through some significant issues and were married two years ago, and I’m finally creating some healthy boundaries with my family. To put it simply, our work together has been the most transformational work of my life and I am forever grateful.”
