"The Attuned Practitioner course with Ashley has been truly transformative for my clinical practice. I entered the course as a speech therapist focused mainly on achieving goals I had set for my clients, but I left with a deeper appreciation for connection and relationship in therapy. Ashley helped me become more aware of the subtle cues children use to communicate and guided me to respond in ways that build trust and emotional safety. Her focus on social-emotional learning, attunement, and developmental profiles opened my eyes to how much children are communicating beyond words. This course has shifted not only how I work, but how I see the therapeutic relationship. Highly recommended for any therapist wanting to bring more presence and connection into their work."
