ABOUT US

Hello!  I’m Ashley Anson,

and I created Healing Hearts Haven out of a deep desire to offer something in addition to traditional therapy—something intuitive, creative, and empowering.

 

My own journey of healing from childhood trauma, poverty, narcissistic partnerships, enmeshed family dynamics, codependency, chronic anxiety, miscarriage, and loss of financial security, led me into criminal and family law, where I spent years working with youth and families in the juvenile justice system. What I witnessed confirmed something I had long suspected: even the best systems—legal or therapeutic—often focus on individuals without adequately addressing the emotional and environmental patterns they return to.

 

While therapy plays a critical role, I saw an opportunity to offer something more… something different. Not instead of, but alongside.

In December 2024, I earned my Master of Science in Marriage and Family Therapy and began practicing as an LMFT-Licensee.

But through years of professional and personal healing work, it became clear to me that coaching—especially when infused with intuitive insight and creative expression—could provide a more active and accessible bridge between awareness and transformation.  That’s why in April 2025, I transitioned fully into intuitive coaching, artistic immersion, and systemic self-discovery.  As a Life Coach with a foundation in clinical training, I bring a unique blend of professional experience, personal insight, and intuitive guidance to the work I do. While I hold a provisional license in Marriage and Family Therapy, I choose to work as a Creative Life Coach because it allows me the freedom to combine lived experience, psychoeducation, and creative healing practices in a way that transcends the limits of traditional therapy models. My approach is rooted in the belief that healing is not one-size-fits-all—every individual, couple, or family has a unique path forward, and my role is to help you trust your own.

 

Healing Hearts Haven isn’t here to compete with therapy. We honor and respect clinical models. What we offer is the next step in the journey: action-based, heart-centered, and creatively driven experiences that help individuals, families, and even organizations unlock what lies beyond analysis—real, empowered change.

We believe healing happens in motion. Whether through one-on-one coaching, immersive workshops, creative courses, or art-infused retreats, our work focuses on helping people shift from cycles of rumination to patterns of action. Through tools like painting, writing, intuitive guidance, and storytelling, we support people in reclaiming their narratives and cultivating self-trust.

 

My goal?  To empower the healer within.

 

Whether you're seeking clarity, reconnection, or a completely new chapter—you're welcome here.  I look forward to working together through one-on-one sessions, courses, or workshops and retreats.  Speaking engagements may be booked upon request!
