About me

"Welcome to Being John Ashford, where you'll discover a transformative journey of healing, growth, and self-discovery. With over 33 years of experience working with youth and families struggling with violence, trauma, and grief, I bring a unique blend of wisdom, compassion, and holistic practices to help you unlock your true potential.

My diverse background includes studying at Precious Blood Seminary, earning a BA in Communication and French, exploring Sacred Geometry in Northern Spain, practicing IFA, teaching Wuji Cinnabar Tai Chi and meditation, and holding a black belt in TaeKwon Do. This rich tapestry of knowledge allows me to offer a comprehensive approach to your well-being.

Currently, I work with the Solvalti program, focusing on domestic violence and fatherhood, and YMEP, an anger management group for boys. My mission is to challenge the judgment surrounding young black men and equip them with the tools to embrace vulnerability, seek help, and find healthy outlets for their frustrations.

In each interaction, I draw upon the influences of Access Consciousness, Matrix Energetics, Restorative Justice Practices, and Trauma Informed approaches to expand your understanding and foster personal growth.
