“As a mentor, Ashley strikes the perfect balance of meeting you where you’re at in your creative journey and pushing you to think bigger, act bolder, and work beyond what you thought you were comfortable with. I’ve always struggled to find the confidence to let people hear my music, and Ashley was able to put me in a setting that I was comfortable in and moved me forward in getting my music out there. She’s a truly inspiring woman who is dedicated to helping others harness the best versions of themselves. ”
TRUST YOUR CREATIVE VOICE
“You can’t sing”
is something you may have been told,
or a story you told yourself back when…
But guess WHAT?
There is only one you, with the one voice that might have
something very special to communicate to the world and I don’t think you are showing up for it fully yet.
You “making it” really means making a decision to be visible.
Claim your space!
OWN YOUR VOCAL POWER.
My favorite Proverb reads:
Some of the worlds most ancient, healing, and prolific music
is from the heart of Africa.
This simple proverb is loaded with wisdom.
Have you ever listed to music from Mali?
The uplifting melodies, rhythms, and chants
can literally shift your mood once you let it sink in.
Singing and chanting are more powerful than we think.
The voice carries a frequency,
your unique sound is in essence
carrying a particular vibration.
What vibration do you carry?
Sound and singing release negativity and can realign your frequency
and it can bring you to balance and harmony.
You have the power and potential to shift frequency with your voice.
This is why quite simply, singing makes us feel better.
Your purpose, your essence is coded in that voice of yours.
So, take a deep breath and relax and
let the message soak into your bones for a moment.
So, dare I say, that with the current state of the world,
it is time to step into your power and potential,
so that you can
start to speak and sing your truth.
You are the only person who can carry your frequency,
change that frequency,
and deliver that very unique perspective and sound.
There is no one who carries your same spirit,
your unique frequency or “sound”
and what better way than to share your signature voice.
I think it’s due time to stop hiding.
Stop suppressing your desires
let go, drop the bull:
“I am not where I wanted to be”
“It’s too selfish to really go all the way in”
“I’m not talented enough”
“I’m too old”
or the classic fave
“I don’t have enough time”
are all just excuses.
Why continue to stay small?
I want to bring it back to YOU and WHATS REAL.
Trusting your creative voice, your imagination, your heart.
The beauty you brought into this world is still inside of you,
the power and potential that is you is waiting,
wanting acknowledgement and
is dying to be heard.
I will guide you through steps to shift the energy, expand, and shine.
It is time, and I want to help you
OWN YOUR VOCAL POWER.
There is no better time
to witness the energetic transformation possible
by opening your throat chakra and
allowing your authentic voice to come through.
I am a vocalist, an artist, and a coach
who believes our voices and the unique sound and vibration we carry
have profound healing properties if we allow them to come through.
These individuals started their vocal voyage
because they had the courage
to say “YES” to themselves.
By discovering and using voice, we discover our truest selves
and harness the creative force which has the potential to heal.
I have coached hundreds of individuals in groups, classes,
and one-on-one sessions for the past 10 years.
Just like you, we were once wondering,
“What’s my next step?”
I have worked with both youth, adults - in detention facilities,
high schools, colleges, alternative education facilities,
in the home, and at the studio.
“Having had the opportunity of working with Ashley, is by no exaggeration, one of the most amazing privileges to come into my life. Before even getting to know her, you are drawn to her full of life spirit and can immediately see her drive, passion, and dedication to her craft.
Ashley is one of the hardest working people I’ve ever met. She takes on an incredible amount of work yet makes it seem so effortless and it is because she loves what she does, and it shows. Everything she commits to she gives her all to. I can speak first hand as one of her students that you are not just another repeated generic lesson plan. She dedicated so much time and effort into each one of my sessions and really took the time to get to know me so that she could convey her knowledge of music in a way that would connect with me personally. She dedicated her time outside of our sessions to help and support me. She put this much care into each one of her students, businesses, performances, and projects.
She will build you up but never give you false praise. She will challenge you and push you past your comfort zone but only because she believes in you and knows you will be better for it. She is selfless, dedicated, caring, creative, and passionate.
Ashley has given me opportunities of a lifetime, confidence I wouldn’t have found on my own, a passion and skillset in music I wouldn’t have developed without her, a strong female role model to look up to, a whole new positive direction in life, and so so so much more. I could write a whole essay on how amazing it is working with Ashley but in short working with her is transformative. I am incredibly grateful to have Ashley in my life and I am definitely better for it. ”
I cannot wait to speak with you!
