Ashley Brownson, an intuitive energy healer who works with healing touch, reiki, tuning forks, qigong, yoga, inner child healing, neuro-linguistic programming, tapping, breathwork, meditation and energy transmutation to help others heal and teach them the tools that they need to heal themselves, has joined the staff of The CasaShanti Emporium, in Fort Myers.

Also a natal chart astrologer, Brownson teaches a class for beginners at 5 p.m. on every other Sunday. It’s the “start of your journey to interpret your natal chart and unlock the secret language of the sky,” she says.

She will also lead meditation classes at 10 a.m. on every other Saturday. “It’s designed for those who need to deeply relax and restore both body and mind through stillness and breath work,” she explains. Participants should bring a blanket and anything else that allows them to feel comfortable during meditation. Each session is intuitively guided and may include sound vibrational frequencies through crystal bowls.

Cost for classes: astrology $20/ meditation $15. Location: 2052 Cottage St. For more information or to register, call 239-247-4801, email [email protected] or visit CasaShanti.us. See ad, page 31.
