People often ask, 'Hey Ash, how did you get into mindfulness, coaching, and NLP work?'
Well, I started meditating at 10 years old as a way to cope with significant family stress.
At the time, I picked up a Sivananda yoga book because, as a gymnast, I was drawn to the photos of the poses. Little did I know that the chapter on meditation at the back of the book would change the course of my life forever, offering me a path towards wholeness, peace, potential and healing.
As a kid growing up in Miami in the '80s, you can imagine other paths that might not have led to a good outcome.
Finding that book and discovering a path toward a better life felt like something that was chosen for me.
Most of my life has been spent considering and exploring ways to grow, heal, and create a future with more freedom and possibilities.
Thankfully, this desire has shaped both my personal and professional pursuits, driving me to find what truly works in the world of personal development.
Because all things change when we change.
My greatest joy is to gather people in community to do the beautiful change work we get to do.
My current professional pursuit is becoming a consultant for Dr. Joe Dispenza.
I'm happiest and most alive outside, and you can usually find me meditating, fishing, hiking tall mountains or in some foreign city eating all the things with my husband. I prefer analog to digital, salty to sweet and foreign to known.
I'm passionate about native cultures especially in Central and South America, and am aimed towards conservation work there.
I detest pop-spirituality so you won't find much of that around here ,)
