Ashley Parrish, LCSW and Subconscious & Somatic Healing Coach

My Journey from Dissociation to Deep Healing

And why I now help women reclaim their nervous systems, relationships, and truth.

I’m a Subconscious & Somatic Healing Coach for women who’ve read every book, tried every tool, and still feel like they’re disappearing inside their own life. But I haven't always been this grounded, in fact, more most of my life I was angry, resentful, and deeply disconnected from myself...

I was the one holding it all together - the childcare, the house cleaning, the scheduling, the Dr. appointments, the sick-days, the emotions, EVERYTHING👏🏼 and I was angry and so disconnected to myself!

I resented everything but especially how easy it was for my partner to stay late at work or go to happy hour, while I had to jump through several hoops just to go to dinner with a friend.

We fought a lot and I blamed him for everything. Meanwhile, I was disappearing by pouring myself into everyone else, but never back into me. I didn't know how, to be honest with you. If you'd have asked me what I liked to do 5 years ago I'd look at you with quarter sized eyes and no clue. Dissociated is an understatement. I was so far removed from feeling my body and my emotions and therefore unable to live an authentic life because I didn't even know whose life I was living. (Thinking: what the hell am I doing? How did I get here? Is this all life is? on repeat 🔁) And because of this, I caused a lot of hurt and distrust in myself and my relationship.

Around 2020, I finally realized the extent of autopilot I was living and I was disgusted with myself and the decisions I was making. So, I decided to do something about it and officially started getting serious about my healing journey. Of course I started where everyone does: listening to the Super Soul Sunday 🤣 (for real tho) and reading ALL👏🏼 the self-help books... seriously...my library is amazing and I'm happy to lend out some of my books. But let me save you some time: understanding your pain isn’t the same as releasing it. Reading the books is comforting, but it doesn’t rewire your nervous system, it doesn’t help you set boundaries, feel your emotions, or live a truth that’s fully your own. Reading your way through healing is called intellectualization and it's a classic defense mechanism using logic and reasoning to avoid feeling uncomfortable emotions.

Fast forward signing up for To Be Magnetic June 2020, diving head first into Inner Child and Shadow work. This is when I began to realize my limiting beliefs, patterning, and HOW to heal on a subconscious level.

Things began to finally shift. Something people don't often talk about is: the more I changed, the more I felt misunderstood. As I was shedding layers and accepting the "unloveable parts of me" (shadow) I was still being treated as the the version of me I had trained others to expect. Not to get all woo-woo on you, but there is a lag time before your body catches up to your changed internal workings, aka your spirit.

Eventually, I noticed that the more I focused on me, the more others around me began to respond differently, an even started doing their own work! Trigger warning: this is where people and things in your life start to fall off because they are no longer in alignment with you. **There is grief in this, and that will be held and acknowledged when working together**, but it's not always something people talk about.

All this to say, it wasn’t until I reconnected to my body, my truth, and my voice that everything began to shift. Even after the Academy of Breath and Advanced Practitioner Training, I had to face a hard truth: I was still the Queen of Dissociation. Because remember, true change doesn’t happen when you learn about your patterns, it happens when you embody something new. Yikes. Thats a hard but real truth. True change isn't just in the head - and that's why I do what I do and it's ever evolving (more of that to come...) because real, true and lasting change, happens when we release it from our bodies as well. Subconsious work is FABULOUS and undeniably effective, but it's the somatic work (breath, movement, sound) that helps us complete the healing cycle and truly and holistically heal.

This is the work I do now: guiding women like you through their own real-life Reset - from overthinking and overwhelm to regulation, rootedness, and radical self-trust.

If you’re ready to stop disappearing and finally live from your truth… this is the work that changes everything.

What if your life isn’t broken… it’s just outdated?

When I finally stopped dissociating and living on autopilot - doing things simply because they were familiar, not aligned - everything began to shift.

✨ I stopped micromanaging other people’s emotions and started honoring my own.

✨ I let go of the fantasy that someone would come save me (and wow… that hits different when it lands).

✨ I stopped abandoning myself in the name of being “easy to love.”

✨ I started telling the truth, even when it was messy, uncomfortable, or inconvenient.

✨ I set boundaries that used to make me spiral with guilt… and held them with love and power.

I put myself first and that changed everything.

This isn’t just what I do, it’s what I’ve lived.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 17 years of experience supporting women through trauma, transition, and transformation.

But the truth is…what qualifies me the most to guide you?

I’ve lived it.

My life didn’t change because I knew all the strategies.
It literally only changed because I finally reconnected with the version of me I had buried beneath the resentment, responsibility, programming, and the outdated roles I thought I had to perform to be loved, accepted, or “good enough.”

That reconnection is the foundation of The Reset™ - my signature process for women ready to come home to themselves.

Inside The Reset™, we work with:

✺ Nervous system recalibration to shift from survival to stability and eventually, to autonomy, authenticity and self-leadership.

✺ Subconscious rewiring to release the old patterns you didn’t even realize were still running the show.

✺ Relational healing and communication that's raw, honest, and actually lands without self-betrayal.

✺ Boundaries that hold from embodied clarity and self-trust.

You don’t need to blow up your life to feel like yourself again.

You just need someone who’s lived it and can walk you through it with clarity, compassion, and calibrated power.

Most women don’t need to “fix” their lives or their relationships.

They need to find themselves inside it all again before they disappeared into the caregiving, code-switching, and people-pleasing.

Here’s the truth:

✺ You’ve read the books but insight without embodiment is just another form of avoidance.

✺ You’ve listened to the podcasts and maybe even taken notes! But information and awareness doesn’t equal transformation.

✺ You’ve tiptoed around your truth hoping someone else would finally see you, choose you, validate you or even save you.

It’s time for a new way.

One rooted in:

Real self-leadership (not performative independence)
Nervous system safety (so you stop spiraling the moment you say “no”)
Unapologetic clarity (in your voice, your needs, and your relationships)

I’ll walk you through in 90 days what took me 5 years to figure out.
Because this time, you’re not doing it alone.

The Reset™

My 5-Phase Reconnection Method

This isn’t about “fixing” your life, it’s about redefining the entire dynamic by resetting how you show up inside it.

Because when your nervous system recalibrates…your relationships shift, your boundaries hold, and your truth becomes non-negotiable.

Here’s how we get there:

✺ Phase 1: Root Reveal

We clarify your emotional baseline, identify the pain points, and uncover the subconscious beliefs driving your disconnection, self-abandonment, and overwhelm.

Think of this as the real root cause diagnosis without the shame spiral.

✺ Phase 2: Pattern Awakening

We map how the same autopilot pattern shows up across your life - in motherhood, marriage, career, and your sense of self - and begin meeting it with compassion, not criticism.

Awareness is power. But this time, it’s not just cognitive, it’s embodied.

✺ Phase 3: Repatterning + Rewiring

We bring in subconscious reprogramming, nervous system tools, and daily micro-shifts to rewire how you respond to stress, triggers, and intimacy.

Because what fires together, wires together. You’ll break the cycle and build something new.

✺ Phase 4: Embodiment + Integration

This is where new habits become your new normal. We integrate breathwork, movement, and somatic tools so the healing doesn’t just live in your head, it lives in your body, routines, and relationships.

You stop trying to change. You become the change.

✺ Phase 5: Relational Ripple

This is the shift you came for - not just in you, but around you.
Your boundaries hold. Your communication lands. Your presence deepens.
And your family, friends, and partner meet the real you - regulated, expressed, and rooted in truth.

This is generational wealth. Nervous system first. Legacy by design.

This is your permission slip.

Not to burn it all down but to take your power back.

You are the co-creator of your life and if what you’re living no longer reflects your truth…it’s time to reclaim authorship.

That starts with radical accountability and not shame.
- No more people-pleasing.
- No more outsourcing your worth.
- No more patching energy leaks just to make it through the day.

Instead:
✨ You say yes to what lights you up.
✨ You reclaim the parts of you that have been buried.
✨ You move forward as the most honest, regulated, real version of you.

You are not broken and our life isn’t doomed! You just need a new roadmap and a guide who’s walked it before you.

The work starts now and it would be an honor to walk this path with you.
