Ashley Garcia {Burbank, CA}
Hello Beautiful One,
My name is Ashley Garcia. I am a Somatic Womb Alchemist, Yoga Teacher (500 RYT), Yoga Therapist (C-IAYT), Reiki Master, Conscious Pelvis Practitioner, Holistic Pelvic Care Practitioner, iRest Teacher, and I also hold a BA in Music.
I offer 1:1 remote sessions and group sessions to work with women and womb carriers of all ages who are experiencing disconnection from their sexuality as a result of trauma, childbirth/parenthood, etc., those dealing with infertility or menstrual cycle issues, as well as those who desire a deeper connection with their womb and pelvic bowl. I love working with those who are interested in being a participant in the process, healing is a co-creation. Sessions with me are tailored to your specific needs, goals, and desired outcomes.
My work supports you through holistic transformation creating the landscape for true well-being. Using the Holy Trinity Blueprint as a guide to navigate and tend to the physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and energetic aspects of your lived experience.
I have been studying various healing modalities in both a personal and professional capacity for over 5 years. I stumbled into this work while on my own healing journey, desperate to feel whole and unbroken after years of numbness and disconnection stemming from sexual trauma. I wanted to feel at home in my body again; I wanted to enjoy my body again. I knew something needed to shift, and intuitively I knew that the key I was searching for was in the body.
I honestly did it backwards. I went right to the site of my trauma, jumping into somatic work with intravaginal pelvic care. I found profound healing in that work but lacked the tools to really integrate it. It felt very much like one step forward, two steps back.
I turned to yoga after coming across research on the efficacy of yoga as a healing modality for trauma survivors, and eventually decided to become a yoga teacher, then pursue certification as a yoga therapist.
Yoga helped me connect with my body and quiet my mind, and internal pelvic work helped me release stored trauma and tension, but I felt that there was a step missing in between, which turned out to be Somatic Womb Alchemy.
Within Naomi’s teachings and training, I found a gentle way to approach the body without overriding the nervous system, as well as supportive practices to aid integration.
For many years, I thought I had lost my connection to pleasure. I thought the trauma I had endured had stolen this vital piece of myself. Other areas of my life were good, even wonderful. And yet I felt flat, one-dimensional.
Through these practices, I found the fullness of myself again. The numbness and disconnection I had lived with for over 15 years gave way to increased vitality, sensation, and pleasure.
There are all too many women and womb carriers that have lived through sexual trauma, and serving that community is why I have stepped into this work. Trauma doesn’t have to be the end of your sex life (partnered or not).
My struggles have given me a gift and that is the drive to support others in their healing journeys. I love helping women and womb carriers find safety within and reclaim sovereignty over their bodies, so they can step into embodied pleasure.
My approach is gentle, always working within your window of tolerance to support healing without activating your nervous system’s fight or flight response. Whether you’re just starting your healing journey, or have extensive experience, I will meet you where you are, and support you in feeling empowered to reclaim those lost parts of yourself. You are always in the driver’s seat, I’m here to help you navigate your path.
This work isn’t a quick fix, or 3 easy tricks for bigger, better orgasms, but rather deep and lasting transformation. My work deeply supports the remembrance of who you are beyond the pain you have endured, underneath the layers of societal conditioning and generational trauma.
I believe that pleasure is your birthright, and that regardless of shape, size, race, ability, gender, or sexual orientation, YOU are worthy and deserving of pleasure. You are enough exactly as you are.
I am queer, a wife and a mother of two. I am neither young nor thin: I live in a bigger body and have struggled with chronic pain for years. I have survived sexual assault and rape. I don’t often see myself reflected in the mainstream world of sexual health and empowerment, and that is why I am here taking up space to be an inspiration to anyone who resonates with me.
I am honored to walk beside you, to hold space with you, to be a guide as you journey through your inner landscape and forge a deeper connection to who you truly are so you can tap into your unique gifts and step fully into your power and magic.
It would be an honor to connect with you and see if I am a match to support you.
I look forward to hearing from you!
With Love, Ashley
