Branches of the
Ash(leigh) Tree:

This site displays a handful of the things I offer in one place to keep both you and me more centered among the many directions I extend into (like a? "tree” - I know, GENIUS). I am empathic and creative and I find that those things weave things like Arts and (while I know many of us are not fans of the term) Healing Arts together into mutual reception. We are constantly creating - even very literally on a cellular level we are creating new pieces of self in order to sustain and to heal. To me, the body is a divine work of art and we are each co-creators with the greater reality via out vessel. I sound super fun, don't I? - Total riot.

  

PROFESSION

I am a performer in media and stage productions; scripted and improvised; musical and otherwise.

 

Between scenes: As an actor, one of my gifts is being able to use my acute empathy, sensitivity, and intution to tune in to a director, story, genre, etc. and sense where and how my character lives in collaboration with those and other aspects of the piece. That multifaceted deep listening also serves while facilitating clients working toward harmony in their selves, their homes, with animal family members, and even on garments they will love to live in (my BA is in Fashion Design; so Mummy and Dadums felt I had a practical skill).

 

I provide various services like Healing Arts, support with animals and homes, and garment styling, designing and / or sourcing costumes.

 

OFF THE CLOCK

When my head isn’t in the game(s), I give it free rein in the clouds. I'm (wonderfully) weird in a host of ways. Regardless, I'm more interested in what is real and honest and open than appropriate or if, "we're doing that, here."...

 

Sometimes I enter the realms of overdo; and then her sister phase, overwhelm: Hi, my name is Ashley and I am fallible... Having a flaw means that improvement is necessary, which gives me something to accomplish -- I WAS born with ovaries, and am told that makes accomplishment an ongoing priority for me...

 

ONWARD

That's enough Ash Tree  "About Me": Now go do you. If you are looking for suggestions, I suggest that you go outside (weather, schedule, safety, etc., permitting) and look at and spend time among some actual, physical trees - it's literally an acknowledged practice that is potentially therapeutic. Plus, it's free (and in my experience it's fantastic). Am I putting myself out of business by suggesting this free, readily available technique? Possibly, but probably not, because, you might not have guessed, but I offer very different things than trees. Even if I was, my priority as one in service is that you get what YOU need... And I am only interested in those who need my services coming to work with me. Now, GET. OFF. THAT. FECKING. DEVICE. And go on out and give the trees some love - and allow them to love you back. You both will benefit.

Best and Worst,
Ashley
