About Ashley

I’m Ashley Celeste — an emergency medicine Registered Nurse, Reiki II practitioner, U.S. Army veteran, and mother of three. Throughout my time caring for people in the Emergency Department, I discovered the art of healing through some of the most intense, vulnerable, and life-altering moments anyone could ever face. Being present with trauma, crisis, and recovery shaped how I understand healing: it isn’t only physical — it’s emotional, neurological, energetic, and deeply personal. And from that understanding, Holistic Alchemy was born. A safe place where pain transmutes into power.

I’m an intuitive empath with a natural, whole-person approach to wellness. My work blends science, nervous system awareness, mindset, and intuitive insight. I believe healing happens when we address the full human experience — body, mind, emotions, and spirit — and when people are given both knowledge and compassionate support to reconnect with their own inner resilience.

I was trained in Reiki under a licensed clinical mental health counselor, Dr. Will Daddario. I have also participated in Danny Morel’s Awaken experience, where trauma integration, emotional awareness, and nervous system healing became lived practice rather than theory. These experiences continue to inform how I hold space for others: grounded, compassionate, intuitive, and rooted in both evidence and lived human experience.

I’ve studied and integrated teachings from pioneers in consciousness, mindset, and personal transformation, including Dr. Joe Dispenza, Napoleon Hill, Neville Goddard, Abraham Hicks, Eckhart Tolle, Alan Watts, Rhonda Byrne, and Deepak Chopra. Their work — alongside my clinical nursing experience — has deeply influenced how I understand neuroplasticity, belief systems, stress physiology, and the profound connection between thought, emotion, and physical health.

My approach isn’t about “fixing” anyone. It’s about helping you remember your own capacity — to regulate, to heal, to grow, and to consciously shape your life. Whether through education, energy work, coaching, or presence, my goal is to help you feel safer in your body, clearer in your mind, and more aligned with who you truly are.

Holistic Alchemy offers integrative wellness experiences designed to support nervous system balance, personal insight, and holistic well-being. Our approach blends evidence-informed education, intuitive facilitation, and trauma-aware support within a non-clinical coaching framework.

If you’re seeking healing that honors both science and soul, you’re in the right place.

Frequently Asked Questions

 

What is Reiki?
Reiki is a gentle, energy-based healing practice designed to support relaxation and balance within the body. It works with the body’s natural energy flow and is often used to reduce stress and promote overall well-being.
 
What can I expect during a session?
Each session begins with a brief conversation about your goals and intentions. You will then be guided through breathwork and relaxation while energy healing techniques are applied in a calm, supportive environment. Time is included at the end for reflection and integration.
 
Do I need to believe in energy healing for it to work?
No specific belief system is required. Many people approach Reiki simply as a relaxation and stress-reduction practice. An open mind and willingness to relax are all that’s needed.
 
Is this a replacement for medical or mental health care?
No. Holistic healing services are designed to complement — not replace — appropriate medical or psychological care. If you are currently receiving treatment, Reiki can often be used alongside it.
 
How many sessions will I need?
Every individual is different. Some people experience meaningful shifts after one session, while others benefit from consistent sessions over time. We can discuss what feels supportive for you.
 

What should I wear or bring?

Wear comfortable clothing and bring an open mind. Everything else is provided for you.
