Kamloops, BC - If you read the Holistic Fertility Coaching website, you will learn some startling numbers about infertility in the US and even worse in Ashley Holmes' Canada. Ashley herself was nearly one of those statistics about 13 years ago. She tried the traditional clinical route because it was all that she knew but was still anxious about striving to conceive. When she finally did, it was a high-risk pregnancy, birthing experience, and postpartum period. All that Ashley learned about relaxing, shifting negative thoughts to positive ones, and focusing her energy, not only helped her to turn things around, but it actually became her avocation. Today she is the owner of a wellness practice that encompasses Reiki, assorted styles of Yoga and energy medicine disciplines. Ashley is certified in Yin Yoga, Hatha Yoga, Therapeutic Yoga, Reiki (Level II) and other techniques to isolate and release blocked energy. What she once learned is a daily practice for her clients as well as herself. She now has three children, twins who are 10 and a 5-year-old. Ashley notes that the relaxation and balance techniques she teaches can help at every stage of pregnancy, including delivery (a more open channel) and restoration after (due to a C-Section or new mother exhaustion.) Focusing on the mom, as well as the baby, is a different health mission, and she is glad to be part of the dynamic change. Ashley offers her services, which also include Ayurvedic medicine, online via Zoom and on the health and wellness platform ViBLY. She has also published much of her wise advice in downloadable guides and articles in Brainz Magazine.
