My passion is fostering people’s connection to a deeper sense of themselves, and through that, to something bigger and more awe-inspiring. I have received invaluable gifts along my journey and much experience to share. I am a lifelong lover of learning, exploring, and experimenting, and I bring that into the spaces where I teach, consult, and counsel.

Ashley at MAPS Psychedelic Science Conference — Introducing Anne Shulgin at the MAPS Psychedelic Science Conference in 2017

“Ashley is one of the most experienced, studied, heart-centered providers in the space of psychedelic-assisted therapies and education. She works with the highest level of integrity, care and curiosity in all that she does, and she knows precisely how to gracefully manage the most difficult situations. Ashley brings heart and a calming presence everywhere she goes.

As a trainer with my own educational programs, it is a true honor to have Ashley's "jedi magic" involved in the spaces that I very thoughtfully curate. I consider myself one of her students, and I can't possibly praise her enough!”

My Background

I have been a community leader and educator in Southern California around the therapeutic, spiritual, and shamanic uses of psychedelics since 2014. My journey has taken me from a previous career in environmental science to a passion for the reintroduction of psychedelics and entheogens back into Western society. I founded the Southern California psychedelic society, the Aware Project, in addition to co-founding InnerSpace Integration, producing and hosting over 90 psychedelic educational events.

In 2015, I transitioned professionally into the field of mental health. From 2015-2017, I worked as psycho-spiritual retreat facilitator at Crossroads Treatment Center in Mexico supporting attendees through ibogaine and 5-MeO-DMT experiences. In 2017, I was hired as the study coordinator for the Multidisciplinary Association of Psychedelic Studies (MAPS)-sponsored clinical trial of MDMA-assisted psychotherapy for the treatment of PTSD during which time I returned back to school for my 2nd masters degree, this time in Social Work. By 2019, I had transitioned into the role of co-investigator as a psychotherapist on the MDMA trial. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (CA#119883), I am currently offering psychotherapy for those wanting to use non-ordinary states of consciousness to support their mental health and expression in the world.

My serendipitous path has propelled me just ahead of the curve as we enter into this new era of integrating psychedelics back into Western culture. I’m excited to share what I have learned with you!
