Hi! I'm Ashley :) ​

​

I began working with children when I was in high school. I got an after school job at the daycare down the street, and soon fell in love with the authenticity and joy that the kids brought to my heart. Soon after, I took my first child development class and I was hooked. My love of children mixed with my love of learning and a drive to know more about how to best support kids shaped my path to follow.

​

Since then, I received my BA in Child Development and a Masters in Infant Mental Health and Early Education. I also studied somatic arts including Body-Mind Centering, Yoga, Reiki, and cranio sacral therapy. I have taken on a number of roles: teacher, nanny, nature school founder and director, child development specialist, somatic movement therapist, auntie, and god mama. 

​

Through it all, the guiding light of my work has been to support children in being held with deep integrity, love, and presence. 

​

In the last ten years, I have also focused on my study of ceremony, prayer, and nature based ritual. My approach with families has expanded from prescriptive educational models to include spirit based connection and practice.

As my offerings continue to evolve, it is my hope that the depth of my experience and study supports you on your path of taking care of children. I hope that my presence and care will be balm to your heart as we walk together through the challenges and joys you encounter while raising your kids. My prayer is to hold you in a way that elevates your experience of family life to a path of healing and liberation.
