“Ash helped me find peace, my centre and a feeling of hope that had been previously unmoved by fear while on retreat.
"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!"
“At one point I couldn't stop thinking about my personal problems that it felt like I had a constant head-ache and couldn't think or see clearly anymore.
"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."
“What Im making space for, I got a glimpse of, first day.”
There 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!
“This [Make Space Challenge] was lovely!”
I 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.
“This challenge is to make space for the thing you most likely aren’t thinking about.”
In 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!
“Whoa baby! (That's it. That's my story.) Just kidding.”
The 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.
“The clarity that I received while doing the daily prompts in this challenge, and then then the validation of what I knew I was capable of doing during the group check-ins was incomparable!
Before 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.
“Make Space Challenge helped me focus my scattered my energy and clear distractions that were never helpful.”
There 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.
“I went from having a compelling vision for my work in the world but I was emotionally overwhelmed and confused about how to deliver it to my people..to feeling clear and grounded in my work and purpose, with systems in place to support me, and with a clear vision for the future
I 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 💛”
“My session with Ash came at a pivotal time - undoubtedly universally timed - it was moving and validating in so many ways. I left our one-on-one feeling so in-tune, aligned, and supported not just by my Ancestors and Guides, but also by other forces that I can’t quite put into words.
The 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.”
“Only when an individual feels extremely safe and sincerely cared for, can such phenomenal healing occur.
“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.”
“She elevates your expectations!
"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!"
“Working with Ash has been an eye opening experience on my path to healing. She helped me see that a great deal of the challenges & struggles I’ve been identifying myself with and perceived as solely my own, were actually deeply rooted within my ancestral lineage and my cultural environment.
It 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.”
“Ancestral Healing was a completely new concept for me and I loved and appreciated how Ash would guide me when I needed guidance, and would lovingly support me in exploring my Truth.
There 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.”
“This shit is life-altering, mind-blowing, and incredible beautiful! Working with Ash has been incredibly life changing for me.
I 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!”
“Ash is a spirit-led organizer who knows her shit when it comes to media, marketing, and strategy. She helped me find clarity in my business to clearly articulate my work to others, while allowing us to trust the ancestors, spirit, and intuition..
“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.”
“Through working with Ash I was able to create a new, aligned marketing strategy that speaks to my ideal clients while honoring their sovereignty and my own.
I 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.”
“I believe in the saying that each person that comes across my path is divinely appointed to do so and that there is some exchange for us to engage in in order for us both to become more wholly ourselves..
Meeting 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”
“Ash is magnetic. There was something very special about her from the time that I found her work
—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.”
“Working with Ash is soul work that brings clarity. Our journey gave me the thread to secure my pieces. The key I didn’t know I needed for the door I hesitated to open…”
She held space for me to do what was innately coded within me—listen to the whispers from my ancestors to go deeper. Understanding the ”what was” and seeing how it’s impacting my experience of ”now”. Our work together has flourished my life in all areas. My offering to my clients has deepened and I'm crystal clear on who I'm called to work with in this season of my life. Being this clear allowed me to go full force with no reservations. Stepping completely into and under the mantle of my life's work. Forever grateful ❤️”
“Ash is a gifted healer and spiritual leader. She held my work close to her as if it were her own and gave me the permission I needed from my ancestors to remove the limits I placed on myself..
Ash provided me a sense of profound freedom I’ve never experienced before. The space she holds for her clients is sacred. I always felt deeply understood and supported during our sessions. She leaves a loving and meaningful imprint on the lives that she touches. I am proud of the work we’ve done together and the healing it will bring to so many. With the upmost gratitude to Source for bringing us together, I hope her impact spans around the world so that all spiritual entrepreneurs can build conscious businesses.”
“Ash has a way of bringing through and confirming everything you've been feeling on a soul level, and help make it insaaaaanely clear.
Her gift in witnessing you, holding SAFE space for you, connecting you with your ancestors, giving you massive permission to follow what feels true for you, and bringing the clarity through with so much love & realness... DAMN. I love, love, LOVE her approach that combines both the energetic AND the tangible, the spiritual AND the somatic for healing on multiple layers. I feel so at ease, warm, held, and insanely supported continuing into this next phase of my journey.”
“You gave me permission to approach my spirituality in an entirely new way and I'm so grateful!
First, my ability to connect to my ancestors in itself is a major shift. It's actively breaking an entrenched belief that I'm not capable or worthy of connection, which has ripple effects through my whole life. I love that I now have the tools to connect with them on my own after our work has ended. Also, connection with them and exploration with Ash put a spotlight on the ways I want to be in relationship with my ancestors and the rest of the world; less transactional, less manipulative, more loving. I felt very held in the space, especially as someone super new to ancestral work. I really appreciated having such a kind and knowledgeable guide—Ash—through what initially was a scary process and over time became much less so.”

“Ash’s natural ability to connect with people, specifically women, has impressed me.
"The way she combines spiritual practices, from all over the world, and finds a way to share that uniquely with others in a way that really impacts lives, speaks to the the power house that she is. Ash is one of the most genuine healers and leaders I’ve ever met."
“I am not exaggerating when I say ash literally midwived me into an entirely new place in my life.
“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.”
