Ash was born and raised in the East Bay Area of California, where she grew up in a fractured family after her parents separated when she was just two years old. From an early age, she inherited a legacy of emotional masking—tools used to protect oneself in the face of hardship. Depression, addiction, co-dependency, perfectionism, abandonment, and people-pleasing became normalized in her environment. Raised primarily by a mother who struggled with alcoholism and an emotionally distant father, Ash quickly learned to mature beyond her years, often accompanying her family to business events and being praised for her 'maturity.'
​
Her early experiences left Ash seeking comfort in external sources—work, food, relationships, alcohol, and drugs. After ending yet another unhealthy relationship in June 2022, Ash underwent a profound shift. She completed her first personal development program, which introduced her to microdosing psilocybin mushrooms, just as she unexpectedly lost her mother to cirrhosis of the liver at age 55. This loss marked a turning point, pushing Ash to confront the masks she'd worn for most of her life. The real estate career she'd built over 10 years no longer felt meaningful, and she dove into holistic coaching, mentorship, and deepening her relationship with intentional psychedelic medicine. During this time, she also lost her great aunt to addiction and her maternal grandmother, amplifying her grief.
​
This period of profound loss forced Ash to face her own addictions, including the ways she had clung to substances in an attempt to keep a false connection to her mother and avoid the pain. Through her journey, Ash came to realize that true healing came from sitting with discomfort, releasing the numbing behaviors, and embracing vulnerability.
​
Today, Ash embodies the fullest expression of love. She has done the deep inner work—sitting with the most uncomfortable truths, breaking free from limiting patterns, and transmuting pain into purpose. Her life now serves as a powerful example that radical honesty, humility, and devotion can change the trajectory of one's life. Through her courageous journey, Ash inspires others to face their own discomforts and to see that true healing comes from embracing the full spectrum of human experience—grief, love, and everything in between.
​
Her spiritual awakening and commitment to self-liberation have become the foundation of her work. Ash's passion is to guide others through their own transformational processes, helping them break free from the constraints of fear, grief, and shame. She creates a nurturing, safe space for hearts to heal, where authenticity and love are at the core of every interaction. Ash's story is one of radical self-acceptance and unwavering courage—showing you that no matter where you start, you too can transform your life through love, authenticity, and spiritual practice.
