Ascension School of Healing Arts

Where Ancient Wisdom Meets Modern Healing | Ferndale, Michigan

 

ASHA is a school dedicated to mindfulness, conscious evolution, and self-development. Here, the science of the ancient arts—Reiki, Kundalini yoga, and energy medicine—meets inner child work, trauma-informed healing, nervous system reset, DNA activation, subconscious reprogramming, and the dismantling and rewiring of limiting belief systems.

 

This is where healing becomes embodiment.

Where awareness becomes action.

Where you return to your power.

A NEW WAY OF BEING

Through events, classes, self-development courses, and certification programs, ASHA guides individuals through deep healing, personal transformation, and energetic mastery.

Students learn to reparent themselves, step into self-love, cultivate interdependence, and reclaim personal power by becoming self-realized and learning to live from the heart.

You do not have to be perfect to join our programs. We meet you where you are. Our courses are designed to support you through a dark night of the soul and spiritual awakening, healing from trauma, and help you mature and grow into a new way of being.

COMMUNITY EVENTS

ASHA hosts regular community gatherings designed to support healing, connection, and continued growth.

Sound Bath Experiences | Cacao Ceremonies | Emotional Release Events | Monthly Reiki Shares | Healing Circles | And More

We always offer something new. Events are open to both students and the public—a space to receive, practice, and reconnect.

"I started going to the center to do healing work with Donna. I was shocked at how spot on the healing support was! I enjoyed my sessions and the work so much that I decided to enroll in classes there too. I've really enjoyed the classes as well. We are covering a wide variety of topics around intuition and healing, and I like that the portion of the program I'm taking right now is focused on healing yourself. There is also a lot of support built into the program, which is great too because healing is not always an easy process! Overall, I've really enjoyed my experiences and the people I've gotten to work with at the Ascension Healing Arts Center, and I would definitely recommend it!"

My healer Heather is also a Godsend Extremely grateful for this place."

WHAT IS ASCENSION

Ascension is a shift in consciousness achieved through emotional and mental maturity and energetic mastery. The ascension process involves releasing trauma, limiting beliefs, and stored emotions from the body. Students learn to reparent themselves, cultivate interdependence, and step into self-love and personal empowerment. This allows one to evolve consciously and see things from a higher perspective.

This work is not about changing who you are. Ascension is about uncovering what has always been within you—and allowing it to rise.
