She didn't choose the healing life; the healing life chose her... That sums up how Ashley's journey as a Reiki Energy Healer began. When Ashley signed up for her first Reiki course, she barely knew what energy healing was and had never had a session.  At the time, she was a sorta kinda yogi who cursed during the Pigeon pose and worked hard on meditating without falling asleep. During one of Ashley's successful, non-sleeping, meditations she received the word Reiki and noted the foreign word in her journal. Weeks later, she decided to take a course on intuitive healing. In the class the instructor spoke briefly about Reiki, and Ashley signed up for the first course to see what it was all about. That's when everything changed! She quickly learned that the "healing hands" her Great Grandmother said she always had were real, and she could truly help people with this gift! Profound purpose and fulfillment flooded Ashley's life, but the journey hasn't been all sunshine and unicorns. Ashley is still a sorta kinda yogi, who sometimes falls asleep during meditation, and found her passion offering Reiki Energy Healing to all.
