She is a Usui/Holy Fire® Karuna and Lightarian Reiki Master Teacher, Angelic Reiki Master Teacher, an eclectic psychic medium, and a trance healer that works toward helping people reach their own spiritual wellness.

Ashley loves empowering people to see the paths in front of them and to use their own intuition to step forward. She is also an artist that leads meditative art workshops. These workshops show people how to heal parts of themselves using color, movement and texture.
