You don’t have to know which offering is right. That is what the consult is for. We figure it out together.
The Deep Descent
Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy & EMDR Intensives
For the places words have never reached.
Ketamine-Assisted EMDR therapy at The Sacred Becoming is one of the most advanced trauma treatment options available in Illinois and Colorado for adults living with complex PTSD, treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, and attachment trauma.
Ashley integrates ketamine’s proven ability to enhance neuroplasticity and reduce fear response with Attachment-Focused EMDR and Internal Family Systems (IFS) — targeting trauma at the nervous system level while simultaneously working with the parts of you that have carried the weight of that trauma. Somatic awareness and nervous system regulation are woven throughout every session.
All ketamine prescribing and medical oversight is provided by a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner. This is a fully integrated, clinically rigorous, and deeply personalized healing experience — not a standalone infusion.
The Sacred Rhythm
Individual Therapy — Attachment Focused EMDR, IFS, Inner Child Work, Somatic & Embodiment Work
The steady, ongoing practice of coming home.
The Sacred Rhythm is Ashley’s ongoing individual therapy offering for clients navigating complex trauma, anxiety, attachment wounds, and nervous system dysregulation — available in Illinois, Colorado, and virtually.
Sessions integrate Attachment-Focused EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatic therapy, inner child reparenting, and nervous system regulation to create a personalized, evidence-based healing experience. Reparenting work helps you develop the internal safety, attunement, and self-compassion that early relationships may not have provided — rewiring attachment patterns at the root level rather than managing symptoms at the surface.
The most profound healing often happens not in the breakthrough moments, but in the slow, steady practice of showing up for yourself — week after week, layer after layerThis is not a one-size-fits-all approach. It is a long-arc container built around your unique system, your pace, and your story — where every part of you is finally given space to be known.
The Wild Gathering
Colorado Mountain Retreats
The wilderness has always known how to call us back.
Clarissa Pinkola Estés teaches in Women Who Run With the Wolves that the wild nature calls us outward — into the untamed, into the landscape that remembers what we have forgotten — because it is there that the instinctual self remembers herself. The wilderness is not an escape. It is a homecoming.
The Wild Gathering is a four-day immersive retreat held on a private property in the Denver, Colorado mountains — for four women at a time. It holds individual ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, EMDR, yoga, sound healing, nature immersion, and private chef meals. Ashley is present for every session, every circle, every meal. The intimacy of the group is part of the medicine.
Four days. A small circle. A private sanctuary. The kind of reset that changes the entire orientation of a life.
The Embodied Return
Trauma-Informed Yoga
For the places words have never reached.
The body is not a footnote to the healing. She is the original text.
Trauma lives in the body. It is held in the nervous system, encoded in the muscles, stored in the places we stopped breathing. Talk therapy can name it. The body has to release it.
The Embodied Return is trauma-informed yoga — not as a fitness practice, but as a somatic pathway. Choice-based, invitation-driven, without mirrors or performance. The body leads. The practice follows. Sessions may stand alone or be woven into the broader therapeutic work.
She had spent decades fleeing her body. The Embodied Return is the practice of going back to find her.
The Kindred Circle
Community
Belonging that does not ask you to disappear first.
Estés writes in Women Who Run With the Wolves that we are all filled with a longing for the wild — and that there are few culturally sanctioned spaces where that longing is welcomed, honored, and held. The Kindred Circle is being built as exactly that space.
A curated community of women in different stages of their return — gathering to witness one another, to be witnessed, to remember that this work does not have to be done alone. Membership is intentional. The circle is held.
The Kindred Circle is currently forming. If this calls to you, add your name.
Not Sure Where to Start?
Most people who find The Sacred Becoming don’t know which offering is right. That’s not a problem — it’s exactly where we begin.
A complimentary 20-minute consult is a conversation, not a commitment. Ashley will listen to where you are, and together you’ll find the right door.
