My 5 element awakening centres around bringing the Fire back into my life. Before this work I wasn’t consciously aware of how much it had been stifled. The elements gave me the framework to think about what I valued and wanted out of life. They re-lit that spark to the parts of me that had been long forgotten. And once that spark was ignited everything in my life took a new and exciting path all on its own! I didn’t even have to try, it just all fell into place once I honoured my Alchemy’s needs. I reclaimed ME!

Before I began working with Ashley and the 5 elements I was feeling incredibly misunderstood and frustrated. I constantly felt like there was something wrong with me. Why couldn’t I work and show up in the world like everyone else? All while not wanting to do it their way in the first place. It just felt so out of step for me. The elements helped me embrace the fact that I’m a FIRE and as a Fire I need to step to the beat of my own drum – that’s who I am! I had always been told that my way was wrong or problematic so this was a revelation and truly empowering. I now feel as though I can finally give myself permission to do it MY way! The sovereignty and calm that I feel in knowing who I am and not needing to apologize for it has been EVERYTHING!! I am so much more compassionate and accepting of myself and those that I love.

When I first started to work with Ashley and the 5 elements I had no idea what to expect, but it was nothing short of AMAZING! I went from feeling unsettled and having a complete lack of confidence in myself to being able to authentically say that I love me for me. I now feel empowered to surround myself with friends and clients that align with my core values and I’m no longer compromising who I am to make others happy. The whole process unfolded so organically. I am awestruck at every transition that happened and how it just naturally came to fruition leading me to live a life that I absolutely love!

Transformation! That’s what everyone has seen in me since I started working with the elements and Ashley. I have two strong elements, Wood and Earth. My Earth wants to take care of anyone and everyone and I was doing that at the expense of my own needs without fully realizing it. This work has helped me start setting boundaries where I need to and it is so Liberating! And when a person is liberated they can move forward confidently in life. That confidence allowed my Wood element to reveal itself more fully and an exciting new career path has opened up that allows me to use my creative talents which is really exciting. I’m in such a better place through understanding and honouring the inherent needs of my alchemy. Everyone should learn about the 5 elements and invest in becoming their BEST self!

Working with the elements under Ashley’s guidance has allowed me to feel grounded in who I am and more accepting of my natural rhythms. I also came to understand how I’m affected by the elements of each season and as a result I’m more objective to my feelings. I can process and make room for my emotions without having them take over my day, week or even longer. With more emotional stability I am empowered to follow my dream of becoming a Life Coach. I’m able to apply this elemental lens when working with my clients which results in greater compassion. Now, I’ve begun to apply these same principles to my dating life which has been incredibly informative as I learn how my alchemy and others’ work together.

The shift that has occurred for me through the process of working with Ashley and the 5 elements is night and day. Before I was feeling lost and unsure of any sort of direction or where to go next. My relationships were disconnected and my business was stalled. In the process of understanding my Alchemy and the natural evolution of the elements I was able to uncover who I really am, along with how to honour my natural ways of being through connection and flow so that I can create a life that I love. As a result, I am creating a business that is inspired by my gifts and IT’S GROWING!! Not to mention my connection with my kids and husband has deepened. We’re so much healthier emotionally as I can look to our Alchemies to help understand and support us. The value of being able to turn inward for my answers instead of looking externally has been such a gift.
