Hello! My name is Ashley, and I’m the founder of Yes Breathworks. For most of my life, I’ve been a high achiever. I worked hard for all of the things I wanted and expected out of myself. While this got me far in my life, I wasn’t operating from a cohesive mind-body-soul connection.

When I found Breathwork, I found a way to finally be still with my body and quiet the mind. Breathwork is an approach to processing and healing within the body using continual, intentional breath patterns. Through Breathwork, specifically a gentle trauma-informed approach, the body processes emotions and experiences stored in the body and integrates healing for lasting results.

Over time with my Breathwork practice, I was able to heal stress, overwhelm, anxiety, and feel disconnected from my body and self. This set a foundation of peace, safety, comfort, self-regulation, and self-soothing, and embodiment that I now experience in my life. Through our breath, we have the ability for real healing, release, lightness, clarity, and transformation. Breathwork doesn’t take anything away from ourselves; it releases all that is not of us or needs to be processed in the body.

Through this breathwork over time and its effect on my life over the years, I had a clear vision of becoming certified as a Trauma-Informed Breathwork Facilitator and creating a company to help others.

Yes Breathworks is a mission-driven company to help others overcome their own struggles within themselves and with their everyday pressures in life and find their way back to themselves.

As a certified Trauma-Informed Breathwork Facilitator, I am determined to empower you to know you have the tools within yourself to heal through your breath. And I am here to help you on that journey.

We are given our breath since birth, but most people are unaware of how powerful their bodies and breath can be. At Yes Breathworks, we are dedicated to re-introduce the power of your breath and helping you develop more connection to yourself and a deepened mind-body-soul connection.

Yes Breathworks has worked with Nike, Revolve, Meyer Corporation, Betterly, Bucket Listers, and various other companies, and is most known for their signature Digital Studio, which is an online subscription to breathwork and meditation sessions led by Ashley, curated and cultivated for you — anytime, anywhere.

I’m so glad that you are here.
