Ashley is a Trauma-informed Certified Yoga Teacher with additional training in Kundalini Yoga, Christian Meditation, Mindful Self-Compassion®, and Yoga Nidra. You can sometimes find her on the podcast Conversations of Christ where she loves gathering with other women and talking about Jesus and daughter disciples in the scriptures. She is passionate about teaching powerful tools of healing the heart, mind, and body through the lens of Jesus Christ, our ultimate source of healing and power. Connecting heart-to-heart with other women and creating gathering spaces of love is one of her life's purposes.
She is the mother of 4 sweet children on earth and one angel boy in heaven. Some of her favorite things are inspiring Christian memoirs, quiet time for writing and pondering, traveling to new places, eating yummy food, hanging out with her hubby once all the kids are finally in bed, and "adventuring" with her family. She loves being home or outdoors, with her family...and always Hawaii.
Ashley is a forever student. You can most always find a stack of books beside and under her bed she is currently dabbling in. Learning and teaching are her passions. She's taught in many settings including as a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, at the Missionary Training Center, as a third-grade teacher, as an early morning seminary teacher, and now as a yoga and meditation teacher.
Amy and Ashley's paths crossed miraculously in a mentorship group and later at a Kundalini Teacher Training. These two sensitive souls knew pretty quickly God had something for them to do together.
Amy is a Kundalini Yoga and Meditation Teacher, Reiki Master, Shamanic Healer, Ayurvedic Guru, Human Design Reader and a passionate healer of hearts. Her favorite work is heart work. She uses her natural and acquired gifts to help people see and understand their own hearts. She leads us to live with open hearts as this brings joy. She knows our hearts serve as COMPASSionate guides in this life, they show us our purpose by speaking to us with the voice of our souls.
Amy and her husband, along with their youngest child, are currently running a ranch in Missouri with the goal of building a self-sustaining home and property. Their other four children have spread their wings and flown out into the beautiful world. Their whole family loves nature, travel, recreation of any kind, adventure and mostly Jesus. They are proud members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
Amy is a dedicated forever student. She has a Master's Degree in Education. She taught Language Arts before she discovered Yoga and the Healing Arts. She has intently studied and now passionately teaches self-healing modalities. She is astonished daily by the realization that truth is everywhere and it all blends beautifully.

February 6-10, 2024
in the beauty of the Big Island of Hawaii
on a 20-acre farm in Kapaau
This 5-day retreat will be focused on immersing ourselves in the rest of Jesus Christ and understanding our deep belonging in Him through:
Learning Powerful Healing Tools
Learning and practicing gentle tools of balancing, healing and renewing through:
- Grounding and restorative yoga, Yoga Nidra, Kundalini yoga, Vinyasa + Ashtanga yoga
- Sound Baths, heart-connecting meditation, and breathwork
- Workshops on Heartwork (learning to listen to the voice of our souls and showing up in relationships how we desire), Emotional Clearing, Self-compassion, Knowing ourselves and our plan, divine relationships, and more!
- Deep connection with other women in Christ and nature
Finding True Stillness
Practice bringing our souls to stillness to heal, rest, and better know God and our divine nature + identity through:
- Immersing ourselves in God's words (both ancient and modern-day scripture) in daily devotionals and personal time
- Daily reflection and journaling time, intentionally seeking to hear God's voice
- Practicing tools that bring balance and cleansing to the body, heart, and soul. Creating true stillness within.
- Being in the beauty of nature both on the farm, at beautiful Hawaiian beaches and the ocean, and exploring the island
Creating Life-change
We want you to return home with a powerful set of tools to receive divine rest and deep purpose in your daily life. From creating a powerful morning routine to having tools to use throughout the day, together we'll create soul-rest rituals that:
- Help you experience daily connection with God, your divine purpose, and identity
- Enable you to process and release difficult emotions
- Create balance in your body, mind, and heart
- Help you better hear, receive and act upon personal revelation
- Help you show up for yourself, in your life, and in your relationships the way you were created to
Connecting Deeply
Healing and growth is most powerful when centered on Christ, with community, and in the beauty of nature.
Through our group discussions to our island adventures, we want you to experience deep connection: with yourself, God, and other women seeking peace in Christ.
Laughter is the best medicine. On top of all our heart-to-heart connection, we are going to have a blast!
Christ taught, “Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you.” (John 14:27). Our focus in all of our seeking of peace and rest will ultimately be on Jesus Christ.
