About
Meet Ashlee
Reiki Master and Practitioner
Welcome with the warmest greetings! ♡ I’m Ashlee ~ and I am so grateful that you’re here :)
I am passionate and intentional about cultivating a peaceful, wholesome, natural, and sustainable life ~ one day at a time :) ~ and I believe that everyone has the inner power to cultivate this same wholesome, natural, peace within their own lives ~ as long as they choose to for themselves.
As the founder of Wholesome Natural Healing, I offer compassionate Reiki energy sessions for reducing stress and pain, promoting the natural rest and relaxation response, restoring inner balance, and revitalizing your flow of energy for living with less fear, worry, and anger ~ and more trust, compassion, mindfulness, and peace. I was drawn to the Usui system of Reiki energy therapy because it is a very simple, natural, intentional, and holistic method – involving the mind, emotions, body, and soul.
When most people hear the word ‘Reiki’ they think of hands-on and physical healing – however, my journey with Reiki was primarily mental healing. I thankfully did not have any physical ailments when I was being drawn to Reiki – but I had a lot of mental blocks to overcome. I have learned that our ~minds~ honestly get in the way of our healing most of the time; so truly figuring out how to meditate and find peace of mind has been a key part of my journey.
For a majority of my life, I had been struggling with my soul’s desire to live slow, simple, and peaceful. We all feel the outside forces of society pushing us to reach the next milestone as fast as we can – but Reiki has helped me to intentionally slow down my thoughts, my actions, and thankfully, my whole life.
Before Reiki, I had severe depression and social anxiety. I was overwhelmed with this persistent negative thinking that overpowered my mind and feelings and emotions and consequently my life, causing me to be sad, anxious, worried, angry, and to live in constant fear. This is still happening within me, but I have since learned very powerful natural nervous system regulation practices (like reiki and meditating, tai chi, and EFT tapping) that ground me and bring me back to the right mindset daily.
When I discovered and began studying Reiki—this is when my internal dialogue slowly began to shift (however, this is still a constant daily practice – because I, too, am a human being!). I first learned how to embody the five Reiki Precepts first thing in the morning, which helps me daily to shift my thinking and actions away from anger, worry, and fear – and towards mindfulness, compassion, peace, and trust. I learned how to give myself reiki sessions for any physical or mental blocks ~ and I continue to do this practice every morning! Finally, I learned how to meditate with intention ~ to quiet my internal dialogue, stay open, and to listen for love ~ which is still at the core of my daily Reiki practice. ♡
As I give Reiki sessions to others, I intend to hold a peaceful, loving, and safe space for the person to receive whatever they may need during our time together. It is truly an honor to support others on their journey towards inner peace ~ one Reiki session at a time :)
If you are interested in booking a Reiki session with me, please reach out ~ I’d love to chat with you more on how I can help you on your journey toward wholesome natural healing.
With Abundant Love and Light,
♡ Ashlee
“With love and light, may we be blessed on our path to wholeness.”
