“We are travelers on a journey to the heart of life. We all find, in our own time and our own way, a path that leads us from constriction to expansion, from limitation to infinite possibility, from fear to love, and from separation to unity.”

Ashley Aurora

 

Ashley Aurora may be young, but she has plenty of wisdom & experiences to share!

 

After leaving home to start college at 14, she realized that creation was her calling and became a rising star in the music and fashion spaces. Her life in Los Angeles was full of bustling social activity, glamour and opportunity. However, Ashley was starting to get a bit "soul-sick" in the world she had chosen.

 

She made the bold choice to pivot back to her roots, rekindling her relationship with meditation, intuitive guidance, and Reiki among other things, which had been her natural state in early age.

 

Ashley currently spends her days reconnecting with her inner child, communing with her 18-year old Dachshund in grassy fields, and building the foundation for a new aligned future that she intends to share joyfully with all who know her.

​

Ashley is currently in training to become a fully certified Dharma/Soul Purpose Coach with Sahara Rose at the Dharma Coaching Institute. She is keenly studying several different cognitive & somatic approaches to healing & living in alignment.

 

Combining major knowledge & wisdom from her mentors and coaches with her own hard-gained insights & intuitive downloads...Ashley is preparing to launch a dynamic, divinely inspired, trauma-informed & uniquely JOYFUL practice fit for a new era & a new paradigm, starting in 2023.
