Marching Forward
Dot Com Anniversary!
Today is the one year anniversary of ashleywaverley.com! I built it out myself on Squarespace and really had so much fun designing it. Throughout the process I felt immense gratitude for having spent so many hours/days/seasons/years thinking about and building corporate fashion websites 🙃 wireframes, UX/UI dev, the handle on the scope of work, all help to keep the shame & guilt of so much time in an unaligned path mostly at bay. It was all a learning opportunity, no time was wasted.
My original <vision> was for it to be very nature-y. The more I browsed inspiration photos, the more I wanted to bring in the surreal. It’s such liminal work that uses the subtle senses— it presents so differently for everyone. Wanted to invite that expansiveness and possibility even with the aesthetics. Goal was for it to feel fun— not too serious, a little nebulous, and a little psychedelic. With a wink and a nod to the many talismans of me and my people. These images are the mood boards I created at the beginning of 2023. (I use Unsplash for photos and Template for collages.)
I talk to dead people, and transmute grief into love. (and can show you how to, too.)
What we can do together:
Mediumship Readings
I tune into your ancestors and we all have a conversation. The ancestors are often very pragmatic and practical. They are the best relationship experts around. They tend to have a lot to say about how one could spend their time— be it mission based or passionate/creative pursuits. This is also a container to address interference around personal space or in the home.
Ancestral Mediumship is a form of connection and communication with the human dead. By allowing a connection with these Beings images, feelings, and messages can be transmitted to the living via the medium (me.) Ancestral mediumship is a form of mediumship that focuses on asking questions and receiving answers from the field of consciousness from a clients ancestors of blood and bone. A session can offer views and solutions in a way that is nurturing, loving, and with your specific destiny in mind. Other times, it can be a tender and powerful moment of reconnection with a loved one who has passed. It’s possible to connect with individual ancestors as well as entire lineages of ancestors. (For example, your grandmother on your mother’s side or all of the grandmothers on back through time on your mother’s side.)
These sessions are great for folks who:
Don’t have experience tuning into their intuitive/extrasensory perception or physic gifts
Have doubts about communication from the other side
Are curious what their ancestors might have to share with them, even if they haven’t given their ancestors much (or any) thought without yet being ready to commit to the larger process of Ancestral Lineage Healing
What folks are saying about Mediumship Readings:
“I cannot recommend a mediumship session with Ashley more. After many readings with mediums in the past, I can say with clarity and truth that Ashley is the clearest, more accurate, and most helpful medium I have ever worked with. Her gift for channeling the ancestors specifically is incredible. I went in with the intention of understanding a deep seated fear of mine. I received deep clarity on the root of the fear and exactly what lineages were involved and was able to receive guidance and a new framework for working with the fear, clearing it to completion. And being able to engage with the very thing I feared in a literal way, the next week. I am so grateful for Ashley and her work. I highly recommend working with her to meet your ancestors, clear your lines (which I’ve done with her also), and in general as a medium.” - Shelby V, Sedona, AZ
“Working with Ashley in a mediumship session was truly transformative. Her guidance allowed me to feel more connected to my newly accessed ancestors and guides. I'm grateful for the doors this experience has opened, and the sense of comfort and clarity it provided me. Accessing animal kin was an unexpected but welcome surprise. I look forward to scheduling another session with her to deeper explore these new discoveries with her.” - Emma B, Syracuse, NY
“Ashley brings such an easeful and light approach to this type of work. I was so fascinated with the information that came through, especially from my father’s side, as I had managed to un-intentionally dismiss them as being part of my lineage. It was beautiful to feel how much love and support there was on the other side in a new way, as well as a relief to feel the impacts of newly set boundaries. I was also impressed with how practical the information and guidance was that came through. Our session has helped me learn to connect with my lineage in more meaningful and healthy ways, and I know it’s still only the tip of the iceberg burg! I look forward to working with her more, and can’t recommend her enough!” - Jordan C, Edmonton, Alberta, CAN
“My session with Ashley helped open my eyes and connect me with my lineage in a way I have never experienced before. Ashley’s magic and gift of channeling the lineage was profound and helped give me direction and tools to exploring this deeper. Her knowledge and wisdom is beyond her years. She offered me information to help me connect with my ancestors and who showed to be present in my field to receive my lessons from. Having her guide me through my father’s line offered me some clarity on the awakened calling I’ve been feeling to ancient Egypt. Ashley’s guidance was so helpful, even beyond the reading to offer me tools to proceed with exploring this path.” -Anayat E, Detroit, MI
Ancestral Lineage Healing
Ancestral Lineage Healing is a type of spiritual repair work that addresses deep attachment and cultural wounds through contact and meditative time with your ancestral lineages. I guide you as you cultivate your capacity for deep connection with blood-lineage ancestors that are well in spirit to invoke their support for healing generational trauma and cultural wounding through your ancestral lines. You become the medium, you are communicating directly with your people. Let me tell you a secret: you can talk to dead people. Your ancestors! No previous experience required. No religious affiliation required. No family trees required.
I act as a facilitator, helping to foster your connection with your ancestors and offering prompts for where the session might go, but allowing space for your ancestors to really lead the process in connection with you. Some folks feel the process is similar to some forms of guided meditation or somatic experiencing. This is a body of work that takes as long as it takes.
These sessions are great for folks who want:
sharper intuition and discernment
stronger boundaries (with the living and the dead)
addressing intergenerational trauma and dysfunctional family patterns
feeling more connected to identity and cultural heritage
to experience more secure attachments
a wider capacity to be with uncertainty, grief, and loss
more clarity and blessings for stepping into personal power and destiny
a grounded sense of belonging, especially for those who feel like they don’t fit in
renewed and vibrant relationship with the Earth and the web of life
greater synchronicity, blessings, and protection in your life
cleansing release of grief, shame, and fear
a new sense of self-acceptance and worth
support to shift addictive behaviors
What folks are saying about Ancestral Lineage Healing:
“Ashley has hands down been a life changing force for me. Her ability to create intentional, sacred, safe space is otherworldly - she’s a natural. Grief is something that needs to have room to be felt and moved and Ashley is such a healing person to help with this process. She has held space for me to move through so much inner work, and I will forever recommend her!”- Kayla G, Davenport, IA
“Ashley is the real deal. Incredibly tapped in and deeply connected to her lineage and The Divine. Working with Ashley doesn’t feel like work, but more a journey of discovery and enlightenment. Her medicine is potent, offering gentle but powerful shifts with every conversation. She’s kind, patient and insightful. Ashley creates such a safe space where you can show up exactly as you are, her presence alone is extremely expansive. She lives in integrity and it shows.” - Andrea A, Phoenix, A
“Ashley is a powerful and embodied healer and space holder. I have worked as a client of Ashley’s in ancestral lineage healing for the past few months. It has been a profoundly safe and healing experience. Ashley has also held space for me as a peer. Her ability to hold intense emotions, grief, death, fear, and things that other healers shy away from and simply cannot hold is profound. If you are navigating death, grief, trauma, or density of any kind, there is no one better for the job. I feel safe whenever I am in Ashley’s presence. She is a trusted mentor, peer, and space holder. I cannot recommend her services enough. I hired Ashley to lead a group ancestral healing session and lead a land offering at my retreat in Sedona which was an integral part of the ritual safety and healing that took place. All guests noted it as one of the most profound experiences of the weekend.” -Samara V, Ashford, CT
“I had heard about working with ancestors but often thought that it was something that wasn’t available to me because of how disconnected I am from my heritage. I met Ashley at a women’s retreat and instantly felt this loving warmth emanate from her. Her deep understanding and knowledge about ancestral work isn’t something that needs to be boasted about or proved because she fully embodies the work that she does. In the sessions that I have had with her, Ashley has always reminded me of my own power to connect with my lineage on my own. Working with her has helped me to learn to trust myself more, and she validates the information I receive during our sessions by reminding me the multitude of ways the ancestors speak to us. Ashley’s ability to guide through grief work is also outstanding and there are very few times I can recall where I felt as held, seen, and heard as I have in her containers. She makes difficult and challenging emotions feel easier to navigate, and she makes work that sounds heavy to feel light. I cannot recommend Ashley enough. Her gifts are deep and I am so glad I was lead to her work!” -FeNyx A, Detroit, MI
