About me

Hi, I'm Ashlynn

As a Holistic Christian Counsellor, I desire to see you grow and flourish in every area of your life, so you can freely walk in your identity and destiny as a son and daughter of God and become the person He desired you would be when He created you.

Who am I?

When I look through God’s eyes, I see a woman that is full of life, joy, kindness, and love. A woman who is creative yet organised, a leader yet servant-hearted, practical yet adventurous, one who inspires and equips.

I see a woman who is full of grace and wisdom with many giftings and talents; anything she lays her hand to will succeed for she is well able. I stand in awe of and humbled by who this woman is that God has created me to be.

My greatest desire is to be a reflection of Christ to the world and an expression of His heart to the treasured people around me. To walk in my identity and calling as a daughter of God and help others discover and walk-in theirs, so they can be all that God created them to be.

I come from a home and family that was broken by divorce and on the brink of poverty. Raised by a single mom with a conviction, “as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord” (Joshua 24:15) and redeemed and healed by a loving Heavenly Father.

I have struggled with being overweight all my life, and since 2018, I’ve been on a less than perfect journey to become the healthiest that I can be and lose weight in the process. It has been an incredible and challenging journey of self-discovery.

Growing up, many of the struggles and pain I faced, I faced alone because we as a family were part of a small community with limited friends, and so grew my heart for counselling. To be there for people in their worst moments of pain and turmoil and walk a road with them to wholeness, freedom, and victory.

'Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ says the Lord of hosts..

Zechariah 4:6
