Hi, I am Ashley,

I’m an Emotional Release Practitioner, Anger Expert, and founder of the Emotional Release Academy (ERA).
My journey into psychosomatics led me deep into the underworld - into the rawest layers of human and physical pain. There, I learned to alchemize that pain into power. I returned as a torchbearer for emotional ownership, shadow work, and the kind of healing that brings light.

As a former corporate project manager and burnout-recovering perfectionist, my relationship with anger began through the body. Chronic fatigue and mysterious, undiagnosable pain pushed me onto a long path of healing. True transformation only began when I started involving both the mind (psycho) and the body (somatics) - releasing decades of stored emotion and pressure.

People often describe me as direct and unabashed - yet deeply open-hearted.
I'm here to guide others in finding their truth, especially through meeting their ANGER (and other emotions), and transmuting them into lasting personal and collective change.

My vision? A world shaped by authentic, self-responsible, and kind changemakers - for the sake of our evolution.

I’m British, raised in Hamburg, and once rooted in Amsterdam (a part of my heart still is). Nomadic at heart you can find me giving trainings, hosting events, offering online programs, and holding 1:1 sessions around the world and online.

I’m excited to meet you soon.
