Ash recently completed fellowships at The New School and Columbia University, focusing on healing through somatic-based movement, meditation and art therapy practices.

In addition to her work with youth, Ash teaches somatic-based movement classes in NYC, LA, Mexico and Europe. This journey has led her to develop an intuitive-based movement direction approach.
