ABOUT Ashni
Ashni, daughter of Cynthia and Allan, is a Flower Essence therapist, IET Practitioner, Reiki Master, healing channel, educator and a private practitioner of Somatic Experiencing, born and raised in Brooklyn, NY with rich roots in the island of St. Vincent & The Grenadines.
Movement, music, healing, and their expansion through meditation and love are essential keys to Ashni’s being. From early experiences with death, escapades in library stacks to discovering yoga and teachings with Buddhist monks in High school, Spirit has always piqued her curiosity and tickled her heart. From an early age, Ashni has been devoted to learning from and listening to Spirit.
After discovering OSHO in 2003 and extensive practice and training with The Meditation Module, Ashni took sannyas and became part of the facilitating team in 2005. During this time, she was also initiated into Reiki (levels I and II) and became a Reiki Master in 2010. It was during this time (2004) that she encountered flower essences for the first time. At a lecture at the old East West Books she heard about the support that flower essences provide in aligning with our truth. She then began her apprenticeship with Linda Cohen, learning about the wide variety of flower remedies available and how they could be used to support healing of the heart and mind. Soon after, she co-created, Meditation from the Source, where she utilized her experiences with Osho Active Meditations™ and creativity to commit to explore and experience life authentically and totally! She co-led 21-day cycles of Dynamic meditation for 2 years! In addition to facilitating workshops and weekly meditation classes.
Leaving her Brooklyn roots to live in Costa Rica in 2011, she embarked on the red road path and has recently completed her sixth year in the Moondance from the Mexica tradition. While in Costa Rica, she also developed her line of Flower Essences, called SOULutions, and received training in Zen Shiatsu from Kantu Veet Mor. In 2014 She began her Initiations into the wisdom of Light Language with Starr Fuentes. Since then she has continued deepening her light and therapeutic work with teachers Keren Or Atari, Ren Mahlev, Selena Rodriguez, Joyce Stech, and Homaya Amar, and Svagito Liebermeister.
Ashni is a private practitioner of the Somatic Experiencing® method, which is a body-oriented approach to the healing of trauma and other stress disorders. It is the life’s work of Dr. Peter A. Levine, resulting from his multidisciplinary study of stress physiology, psychology, ethology, biology, neuroscience, indigenous healing practices, and medical biophysics, together with over 45 years of successful clinical application. The SE™ approach releases traumatic shock, which is key to transforming PTSD and the wounds of emotional and early developmental attachment trauma.
Ashni facilitates ceremonies, meditations, and experiences permeated with love that cultivate radical awareness, appreciation of self, and overall ecstatic wellness within participants and their community with the intention of re-cultivating a deep connection with our Earth mother
Ashni is also part of MINKA’s Heart Centered Operations Team serving as Director of Catalytic Community Relations. Learn more about our collective here.
