“She held an incredibly safe and nurturing space for me, facilitating my crawling out from the chrysalis I hadn’t known i’d been wrapped up in. I will remain eternally grateful for her indescribable healing presence. She went far above and beyond expectations - we were not just taken care of, but truly cared for.”
Read More"Professional, kind and wise, she is a great example of a human one can entrust themselves with, whether it be in the space of a retreat, for healing or in guidance, and any offering of hers will be one I not only recommend, but must attend!"
Read More"I just wanted a break from myself. I went to see Ashley just to have someone to talk to because I knew she gets things and she possesses this aura of wisdom and insight. What she did with me was incredible. I had been so tense and hadn’t really had quality sleep. But that day, I could physically feel how she pulled the negativity out of my body in our time together while in Bali. I regained clarity and felt at peace. It was an exceptional experience and working with Ashley has been really empowering to me."
Read MoreThere is a renewed sense of peace regarding my transition and what I’m making space for. I feel more at ease and am learning to be more patient and compassionate with myself. It was really supportive to watch others during the challenge moving through these days in a similar way. This challenge offers you the opportunity to slow down, connect to, visualize and take steps toward making space for the specific thing you want to experience. On so many levels, Ash simply gets it! She is always able to hold the most beautiful intimate space for us to be.... heard, seen, felt and understood. I love how she joins us and facilitates. Thank you Ash!
Read MoreI liked that it was rooted in shining a light around what is already within us—ancestral wisdom—and that it also focused on rest + taking a day at a time for this practice and process. I would say " a little goes a long way" and this challenge really emphasizes that. When it comes to manifestation/creating freedom sometimes we think we have to do SO much, but actually, less is more! And I loved that this practice was easy and intentional at the same time. I definitely got more organized and more brave in taking up space. Whether it be creating a space to immerse myself in every day to posting more on social media about my business to asking for support! I’m completing this challenge knowing that the "one thing" I want is still coming and in fact, it's already here.
Read MoreIn doing each phase of the challenge you are making space for a lot more than that one thing you chose and you are able to see how it all coincides. It’s a nice ride that forces you to ask those questions you have put off or just never thought about. Ash Johns is a great guide, counselor and referee. She gives feedback for our individual cases and gave us a great forum for community. Ash will keep you on topic/course and ask you questions needed for what you have chosen to make space for. Ash did not generalize us and allowed us to be our own ppl while lifting us up and not losing herself. Thank You Ash!
Read MoreThe most powerful epiphany was expanded awareness and being with an 8 year-old part of me that has been powerfully shaping my life from her understandable, yet outdated, fear of vulnerability and perceived community-inflicted wounds. Before [Make Space], I showed up in community responding to my stress triggers with stories of not belonging, freezing/dissociating, and flying away emotionally from myself and others. I popped into either/or being and quickly cut off from my birthright, inheritance, internal, external, and spiritual support systems. It helped me experience what I was hoping to experience, being my calling. Particularly by identifying and being curious with the parts that were procrastinating and flying away, i was able to transform those emotions and allocate their energy in a way that was healing and sustainable. Within days of being in conversation with these parts I took action around filing and paying for the paperwork I'd been scared of completing to legitimize/legalize my businesses. I also completed and submitted a proposal for work to a major corporation.
Read MoreBefore the challenge I felt alone in life and my business. I didn't feel like people understand what I was trying to say relative to my business. Through the Make Space challenge I was able to articulate what I was feeling and translate that feeling into the work that I want to offer. My epiphany as my make spacers shared with me was that I came out of the dark and into the light :-) As a first-timer I was really impressed with the amount of content we covered in 7 days. I thought that it was a chill up close and personal introduction into the work that Ash does and offers enough space to determine how you wish to move forward in your life as well as in community with her. The challenge specifically highlights your point of view on how to create freedom by going deeper in order to manifest the things you really want.
Read MoreThere was a level of authenticity that my soul and body absolutely loved and needed through this challenge. It wasn't what I expected. This challenge wasn't about crossing out a to-do list and I needed that in order for me to go deeper into what I truly desired. I also didn't realize what I was even asking for lol! My whole world fell apart in a good way from this challenge..literally. I realized later this was because I wasn't giving myself permission to share what I deeply cared about. I wasn't allowing myself or making space to connect with my true desires because I was distracted more than I like to admit lol! This prompted me to have an honest conversation with myself about what I was saying yes to and investing my energy in. I feel like I am making space to devote myself to my mission in life. I've always struggled with this idea. But, it really put things into perspective and I am glad I committed to this challenge! The Make Space Challenge was an experience my soul needed and yearned for, and I didn’t even know it.
Read MoreI am much more clear on WHY I do what I do, and HOW I’d like to do it. I’ve also leaned into my boundaries and expectations a great deal more now: I’ve learned to comfortably say “No” but also “Let’s get it!”, and I am no longer hiding from the work.You’re a gift 💛”
Read MoreThe advice and things that came through were profound - some of them I didn’t quite grasp at the moment, but as time went on, I would have an “aha - this is it! This is what they were trying to tell me!” moment. I’m very much looking forward to my next session and the course, and to see where this path leads. I am so grateful for you, Ash. Thank you for being such a powerful light.”
Read More“Ashley is gifted with the ability to not only create such a space, but to do so with a confidence, sincerity and gentle strength which promotes profound self-acceptance and transformational healing. The most transformational healing I personally underwent was facilitated by Ashley herself while in retreat — healing, coaching and crystal work; enabling me to release some very deep, generational pain. I very much look forward to attending the next retreat under her wonderful guidance and management.”
Read More"Ashley is extremely thoughtful, detail oriented and passionate about the empowerment of women. She elevates your expectations in how she holds space and guides you back to yourself. Working with her one on one and in a personal retreat was divine. I’m so grateful to you Ash!"
Read MoreIt has helped me see them as shared experiences which brought on a brand new perspective on how to take ownership of my healing and tackle these patterns of behavior with much deeper understanding of myself — what is mine, what is learned, and what is inherited. I’ve found a huge sense of relief and endurance to do deeper personal healing work as a result.”
Read MoreThere was no way I could do it "wrong" and Ash helped me trust in my own guidance and inner wisdom. I was able to recognize the ways in which my internalized white supremacy had made me averse to connecting with my Korean roots, and through my work with Ash I was able to observe and work through that aversion and start cultivating reverence and appreciation for who I am and where I came from.”
Read MoreI feel held in a way for me to evolve beyond what I knew was possible. My self worth has shifted to levels I have never experienced in this lifetime, I have shifted my entire business model to a structure that is sustainable, and I feel seen! I went from essentially giving my services away to feeling held, and moving into an actual career. These sessions have helped me confirm and take into action what I have known for myself all along, but didn’t know how to do on my own. Family dynamics have tangibly changed as well—as lineages are healed I have watched my sisters step into their power more than ever before, as well as I am able to easily set boundaries and stand in my own truth. Thank you Ash, for showing up for you, it has given me permission to show up for me! Highly, HIGHLY recommend!”
Read More“She challenged me to think more deeply about myself, my relationships, and my work in a structured, yet spirit filled way. The moments where we would just chat about life, that may not directly involve the immediate work, but allowed me to process general 'life things' that affect my business had more impact that I initially realized. Personally, I felt like I had a real supporter in my corner committed to helping me grow. Thank you so much for being everything that you are, Ash. I don't know how I would be moving forward in the ways that I am without you blessing me.”
Read MoreI am no longer over-giving, under-selling or using coercion in my marketing. I am able to let my work speak for itself. And because of this, I had my biggest launch yet in numbers and most peaceful launch within myself. I am thankful for Ash's kind, honest and intuitive heart helping guide me back to who I really am as a CEO, creative and spiritual teacher through this process.”
Read MoreMeeting Ash helped me to begin to unpack some of the fears I was harboring that were keeping me from living my biggest life. Talking with her in session (and following her journey for the past few years), she's served as a sounding board, a virtual shoulder to cry on and inspired me to move abroad myself and face my fears head on. She is amazing at creating a safe space and providing the spiritual and emotional guidance that can lead you on a journey of discovering yourself”
Read More—but meeting her in person, interviewing her, working with her through events and even healing....has been profound..She is truly one of one - on a mission that's super dialed. She is professional, kind, thoughtful, thorough, warm, engaging, smart...and has a very unique gift that she is able to translate in a way that feels approachable and possible. I am excited to see her continue to rise, and will be forever grateful for our time together. I highly recommended getting some Ash Johns in your orbit ASAP! Your life will forever be changed for the better.”
