Come Home to Yourself

Counselling to help you reclaim your wisdom, power, and ancestral wealth.

You’ve always known how to survive — but survival has come at a cost.

Holding it all. Shrinking parts of yourself, your culture, your identity. Feeling like the world wasn’t made for your body, your rhythm, your story.

Now, you’re ready for something more.

A deeper exhale.
A space to be held, not just to be strong.
A place where your culture doesn’t need explaining and your healing doesn’t ask you to leave parts of yourself behind.

Circle of Rest

Book now

What This Work Feels Like:

  • Finally being seen in your fullness, without needing to perform strength

  • Coming home to parts of yourself that were buried or silenced

  • Grieving things you didn’t know you were carrying

  • Reconnecting to your body as a site of wisdom—not just pain

  • Feeling gently held, without pressure to be “healed” by a certain time

You don’t need to know the language of healing.
You’ve lived it—in your body, your silence, your survival.

A woman with long black hair, smiling, standing in a lush green forest, wearing a light-colored suit with a white bustier top.

I’m Ashley—a trauma-informed counsellor and embodied healing practitioner of Fijian-Indian descent. I support people of colour to reconnect with their bodies, emotions, ancestral wisdom, and inner knowing—so they can live in a way that truly supports them.

My work honours both science and spirit, weaving nervous system science with Eastern wisdom I’ve grown up with—Tantra Yoga, Sound Healing, and the 8-limbed path of Yoga.

It’s healing that is practical, embodied, sacred, and culturally resonant.

    “I feel like we're finally realising that self care is more than just face masks. So I really love being able to learn and be guided through these grounding and embodiment practices that I can then take off the mat and into my life.”

  • S

    “Not all therapists understand the challenges of growing up in a South Asian family. Being a daughter, granddaughter, niece and aunt in these families is harder for some than others. Thank you for illuminating the pathway where we can all feel love, connection and true joy in being ourselves”

  • Anita

    “Thank you Ashley for embracing me and providing a fresh insight with effective practices to fully feel and heal into myself - I’ve been referring to these on a regular basis.”
