client testimonials:

  • "My session with Ashley helped open my eyes and connect me with my lineage in a way I have never experienced before. Ashley’s magic and gift of channeling the lineage was profound and helped give me direction and tools to exploring this deeper. Her knowledge and wisdom is beyond her years. She offered me information to help me connect with my ancestors and who showed to be present in my field to receive my lessons from. Having her guide me through my father’s line offered me some clarity on the awakened calling I’ve been feeling to ancient Egypt. Ashley’s guidance was so helpful, even beyond the reading to offer me tools to proceed with exploring this path."

  • "Working with Ashley in a mediumship session was truly transformative. Her guidance allowed me to feel more connected to my newly accessed ancestors and guides. I'm grateful for the doors this experience has opened, and the sense of comfort and clarity it provided me. Accessing animal kin was an unexpected but welcome surprise. I look forward to scheduling another session with her to deeper explore these new discoveries with her."

    Emma | Syracuse, NY

  • "Working with Ashley revealed to me a vision of myself as essence. I had to reckon with what of me will survive corporeality to become an ancestor. In this reckoning I've realized how much of my energy is spent projecting persona, developing what other people value in me, and cultivating a material safety that will ultimately and always fail. She inspires me to focus my energy on connecting with my essence and developing that essence to be a wise and generous ancestor."

    Zac | Santa Fe, NM

  • "Ashley is a powerful and embodied healer and space holder. I have worked as a client of Ashley’s in ancestral lineage healing for the past few months. It has been a profoundly safe and healing experience. Ashley has also held space for me as a peer. Her ability to hold intense emotions, grief, death, fear, and things that other healers shy away from and simply cannot hold is profound. If you are navigating death, grief, trauma, or density of any kind, there is no one better for the job. I feel safe whenever I am in Ashley’s presence. She is a trusted mentor, peer, and space holder. I cannot recommend her services enough. I hired Ashley to lead a group ancestral healing session and lead a land offering at my retreat in Sedona which was an integral part of the ritual safety and healing that took place. All guests noted it as one of the most profound experiences of the weekend."

    Samara | Ashford, CT

  • "Ashley has always reminded me of my own power to connect with my lineage on my own. Working with her has helped me to learn to trust myself more, and she validates the information I receive during our sessions by reminding me the multitude of ways the ancestors speak to us. Ashley’s ability to guide through grief work is also outstanding and there are very few times I can recall where I felt as held, seen, and heard as I have in her containers. She makes difficult and challenging emotions feel easier to navigate, and she makes work that sounds heavy to feel light. I cannot recommend Ashley enough. Her gifts are deep and I am so glad I was lead to her work!"

    FeNyx | Detroit, MI

  • "Ashley brings such an easeful and light approach to this type of work. I was so fascinated with the information that came through, especially from my father’s side, as I had managed to un-intentionally dismiss them as being part of my lineage. It was beautiful to feel how much love and support there was on the other side in a new way, as well as a relief to feel the impacts of newly set boundaries. I was also impressed with how practical the information and guidance was that came through. Our session has helped me learn to connect with my lineage in more meaningful and healthy ways, and I know it’s still only the tip of the iceberg burg! I look forward to working with her more, and can’t recommend her enough!"

    Jordan | Edmonton, Alberta

  • "Ashley is the real deal. Incredibly tapped in and deeply connected to her lineage and The Divine. Working with Ashley doesn’t feel like work, but more a journey of discovery and enlightenment. Her medicine is potent, offering gentle but powerful shifts with every conversation. She’s kind, patient and insightful. Ashley creates such a safe space where you can show up exactly as you are, her presence alone is extremely expansive. She lives in integrity and it shows. 🤍"

    Andrea | Phoenix, AZ

  • "I cannot recommend a mediumship session with Ashley more. After many readings with mediums in the past, I can say with clarity and truth that Ashley is the clearest, more accurate, and most helpful medium I have ever worked with. Her gift for channeling the ancestors specifically is incredible. I went in with the intention of understanding a deep seated fear of mine. I received deep clarity on the root of the fear and exactly what lineages were involved and was able to receive guidance and a new framework for working with the fear, clearing it to completion. And being able to engage with the very thing I feared in a literal way, the next week. I am so grateful for Ashley and her work. I highly recommend working with her to meet your ancestors, clear your lines (which I’ve done with her also), and in general as a medium."

    Shelby | Sedona, AZ

  • "A session with Ashley is a beautiful gift. A natural, powerful healer, merely being in her energy is a wonderful thing. My ancestor reading was an interesting and heart warming journey. She undeniably accessed specific information on family, - facilitating a resonance and remembrance of material that is deep within. Ashleys access of ancestral content gives us access to more of ourselves. I left feeling supported and lifted."

    Rachel | Montclair, NJ

  • "I think about my session with Ashley often. My experience was sweet caring and new!. Not only did she provide invaluable insights into connecting with my mom’s lineage of caring women, but she also offered their perspective on my partner and my career. I'm thankful for Ashleys expertise and personalized support on this journey of healing and self-discovery."

    Alex | Los Angeles, CA

  • "My heart rate increased, because I think about all the change that you have witnessed— not just me but everyone in this container. I experience you obviously as a Death Walker and light seeker. Just the glue that holds those things together. You are able to see and hold space and be so reassuring about all of our discoveries. I think that you are someone who is really doing what you need to be doing. I'm just really thankful for all the ways, and in all the times that you have been able to wrap me up, and wrap up those you love and the ones that are here. When I see you, I see someone who is such a clear channel. I see someone who is just so peaceful, but not just peaceful because you have this depth, but you're able to make things feel so safe. That's where the peace is coming in. I want to say thank you for all that you are, and all that you continue to be."

    Gigi | Syracuse, NY

  • "The first thing that comes up is a lot of heart energy. I think it's partially because I feel so grateful for you and everything you've created and facilitated for all of us. And also, you just have such a softness that is so silky— to experience you, your voice, there's something very smooth and easy about your energy. At the same time, you know, in some moments this process is scary, it's not for the faint of heart, and I feel so confident with you as a guide. I feel that so deeply. My experience of you and the work that you’re doing…words don't capture how important the work is that you're facilitating. and there's so much power in that."

    Kelly | Chicago, IL

  • "Ashley has hands down been a life changing force for me. Her ability to create intentional, sacred, safe space is otherworldly - she’s a natural. Grief is something that needs to have room to be felt and moved and Ashley is such a healing person to help with this process. She has held space for me to move through so much inner work, and I will forever recommend her!!"

    Kayla | Davenport, IA

  • "You are the embodiment of the womb. Your capacity to hold space is that large, and also sealed in a way that is so protective. It offers safety just in its existence. I think that is something that you've probably always had, even prior to diving deep into this work. You have offered me personally a lot of space and invited me to this container after just meeting me, and I didn't know that it was something that I really needed. This is my Tuesday church. It's how it feels. I stand strongly with the fact that the safety and your ability to listen and to assist so many different individuals shows your strength and spiritual wisdom. As well as the dedication and time that you've put into yourself."

    Charity | Syracuse, NY

  • "I cry every time I tune into the work that you and I have done, I’m just overcome with gratitude. You're such a powerful space holder. The level that you've seen me, validated my experience, encouraged my gifts, and opened up this container for me to explore it… I can't even put a price on it. I'm so deeply grateful for you, and what you've created. The level that you're able to lead from: so powerfully but so gently, really stands out to me as well too. So, just so thankful for you."

    Joslyn | Indianapolis, IN

  • "How can I even trim it down? There's not enough time. When I see you I see safety. I see family. I see security. I see a safe space. My experience of you is capable, stable, strong. Someone who really can hold all there is to be held. You don't have to code switch or water it down. If it can be grasped, you can grasp it. I really see someone gifted, capable, and self empowered. I'm so proud of you. I really appreciate you being present through so many phases of my life path. Really looking forward to going through many more phrases in the future together."

What we can do
(together!)

Ancestral Lineage Healing. We’re never truly alone, in our joy or in our struggles. The practice of learning how to connect with our ancestors – to really speak to them and understand their wisdom – reveals this to us. I’ll walk with you as you remember how to listen and to trust.

Mediumship Readings. Sessions are a form of connection and communication with the human dead. By allowing a connection with these Beings, images, feelings, and messages can be transmitted to the living via the medium (me.)
