✨ Hello & welcome to Birch & Bone ✨

Some of you may already know me, but for those who don’t - I’m Ashleigh, the creator behind Birch & Bone.

I’m a solo mum, a lover of all things spiritual, personal growth & reconnecting to the magic, meaning and purpose within everyday life.

I first began Birch & Bone through offering tarot readings, and I’m so excited to share that I am now expanding into facilitating intentional alignment spaces for those wanting to reconnect with themselves, release what the body has been holding, and move through life with more intention, purpose & magic.

Birch & Bone is a space centred around reconnection, reflection, relaxation & transformation through practices such as:
• Tarot
• Ritual
• Sound healing & sound baths
• Guided reflection spaces

I’m based in Central Otago, New Zealand, with both online and in-person offerings currently in creation!

You can currently book tarot readings through my website, and I invite you to follow along as Birch & Bone continues expanding into:
✨ Community in person and online circles
✨ Sound bath experiences
✨ Downloadable sessions for those wanting flexibility and space to tune in at a time that works for them

Bookings, updates and offerings can be found through my website linked in my bio or by messaging me directly through this page.

Payment options available include:
• Secure online payment via my website
• Bank transfer
• Scan-to-pay options through Hnry

I’m so excited to begin sharing these spaces with you all!
Feel free to reach out at any time if you have any questions or queries and I will get back to you.

Have you ever noticed you start cleaning when you’re overwhelmed?

It’s easy to judge it as avoidance or distraction.

👉But there’s actually something deeper happening.

When you’re cleaning, vacuuming, scrubbing, moving your body...you’re creating repetitive movement and pressure.

This is a form of proprioceptive input (deep sensory feedback that helps calm the nervous system).

👉For a lot of people, especially more sensitive or neurodivergent nervous systems, regulation doesn’t always come from being still.

It can come from movement. From doing. From grounding through the body.
So no...you’re not just stress cleaning.

✨You’re intuitively bringing yourself back to centre✨

I’ve been working on my receiving wound lately.

Getting really clear on what I actually want…
and feeling safe to receive it.

And then of course I get tested!!

An opportunity came in.
Instant. Available right now. Today.

Are you ready to receive…
but only like 50% of what I actually want.

With the icing on top of instant gratification.
Like, I could have it right now.

And honestly? That’s a very tempting place to be.

Then to add another layer… I had about 2 minutes to decide.
No real time to sit with it. Just pressure.

And if you know me, you'll know I don't do well with pressure when it comes to me making decisions!!

For a second I considered it.

Then I saw and heard my spirit team and my higher self like…
“is this really what you want?”

And I knew.

Future me would have regretted saying yes to that.

So I took a breath… and I said no.

And it felt so backwards in the moment.

Because I’ve been working on receiving…
So to reject something felt like “Ashleigh what the f**k are you doing??”

But this version of me…
she doesn’t say yes to things that only half fulfil her!!

She’s not here for 50% with a quick reward.

She’s here for 100%.
Even if that means waiting.
Even if that means risking not receiving it at all.

And that was the real edge.

Having to trust…
that saying no to receiving something that would have fulfilled me for the moment, didn’t mean I’d miss out on receiving something that would fulfil me for the future.

And if I don't receive it at all… then I trust that too.

When you hear the word addiction, most people think of something physical…
Food. Substances. Work. S*x.

But addiction isn’t always something you can see.

You can be addicted to overthinking.
To a pattern.
To a belief.
Even to an emotion.

You can be addicted to sadness.
To chaos.
To the familiar feeling of struggle… simply because it’s what you know.

Because that’s what addiction really is...
something that feels like you can’t live without, even when it’s keeping you stuck.

And for most people…
they’re not even aware it’s an addiction.
It just feels like “this is who I am” or “this is just how life is.”

If this message has found you today, there is something in your life being highlighted.

Something you’re being asked to gently look at…
to begin releasing…
and to replace with something healthier.

And this is the work I do.

I use tarot as a tool for real transformation
to uncover the patterns, beliefs, and subconscious loops that are keeping you stuck on repeat.

Not just to tell you what’s happening…
but to help you shift it.

If you’re ready to go deeper than surface level insight,
this is your invitation.
