Meet Ashley 〰️

My beloved ancestors are from France, Italy, Germany, Poland, and Scotland. So much has been erased, lost, and forgotten, and yet, here I am: proof of their tenacity, complexity, beauty, and yes, their pain too. 

My people are farmers, seers, lamenters, pathfinders, magical ancient priestesses, and mundane businessmen. Ritual has provided me the opportunity to witness the all-too-familiar burdens passed down from these folks alchemized and transformed into the blessings that pour into me, through me, and into my community. 

As survivor myself, my work centers adult survivors of CSA, walking alongside them through the stabilization, healing, and integration of those experiences. Facilitating the remembering and return to safe belonging. I am passionate about creating the conditions for folks to hold more complexity about their experiences. 

It is one of the greatest pleasures of my life to know (really, truly be in daily relationship with) my vibrant ancestors, and to be known by them. They are an inexhaustible resource of wisdom, presence, and unconditional love.  When I’m not in ritual, you can find me writing, cooking, gardening, dancing, and resting, usually outside & barefoot.  I currently live in the forest on Mohegan land in Connecticut.
