Ashley Romero

I started my career in culinary arts, juggling the idea of starting my own home bakery. I had to make a decision about whether to go back to school for culinary and finish that degree, or pivot in another direction. I had an inner monologue moment and went back to my childhood self to see what that part of me wanted to do, and that's what led me to where I am now in hypnotherapy. My main area of expertise is nervous system regulation, which I specialize in because that's what ultimately brought me to this path through my healing journey. I wanted to bring this to communities like the one I came from, the less fortunate, people dealing with trauma, people of ethnic groups. I teach nervous system regulation to help people see that trauma isn't the only way to live life. A typical day for me is like any other entrepreneur, taking emails, working with clients and people, handling paperwork. But I make it a priority to do lots of energy hygiene, cleansing, and just being centered within myself, confident, and able to pass the best message I can to my clients. With two children, I do a lot of lists, a lot of scheduling, constantly organizing everything over and over again. From my family history, being a successful person is my most notable achievement. I'm the first person who will graduate and be in the mental health field, or be in a professional field that's not construction or working at a steel mill. Making it out of middle class and breaking free from the stigma or the projection of what people or ourselves put us in is a big accomplishment for me.
