I have a special love for tending mamas. I know that your healing is key to the wellbeing of our future. That your liberation is liberation for all of us and part of what supports your children in thriving.
​
I support you in being nourished, held, and reflected in your knowing and strength. We work together to listen to YOUR knowing, and create space for you to act in deeper levels of integrity and healing as a woman, a mother, and a community weaver.
​
We make space to listen to the wisdom of you body, to refine your truth, and clarify your way forward.​ We hold your prayer for your children, your healing with them, and the depth of the learning that they are bringing you at this time. And if you end up wanting some caregiving strategy, "what do I actually do with my kid?!", we integrate that too.
​​
​​My approach in holistic, spirit and body based, and at its heart uplifts you to center in your own truth, nourishment, and clarity. We weave in prayer, water healing, bodywork, Reiki, energy clearing, listening, and ritual to support your healing.​ Most of these sessions include a specific technique of healing called "spirit baths", which comes from a Mayan lineage of working with prayer, plants, and water that I learned from the Tul'ix Indigenous Arts.

" I came to Ashley seeking a supportive space to talk about my entry into motherhood and, more specifically, issues I was having with breastfeeding and getting my baby to sleep. Ashley takes a holistic approach. She is soft and gentle and really takes time to listen. Ashley welcomes and validates all emotions in her sessions. She helps reframe concerns with kindness and love, showing that she truly believes that every mother and baby is capable. Around breastfeeding, Ashley helped me feel more centered in my body. She also encouraged me to pause and consider how my baby was communicating to me through his cries and vocalizations. My son and I are still working on sleep, but with Ashley's words and blessings, I have become more confident about my son's sleep. Ashley is dedicated to supporting every parent and child that she encounters. I highly recommend the mama love sessions! "
