Healing is not a straight line. It’s a sacred unravelling of old stories, inherited pain, and the survival patterns that kept us going when we didn’t know any other way. At Ash to Ember, we hold space for that unravelling.
We create a grounded, trauma-informed container where the nervous system can soften, the heart can speak, and the body can begin to remember its wholeness.
We work with sacred plant medicines — not to fix or force, but to gently reveal what’s already within you.
When held with intention and care, these medicines can help rewire the brain, repair the nervous system, and restore connection to self, Spirit, and purpose. But it’s not the medicine alone. True healing happens in the presence of safety, trust, and connection — where your whole self is welcomed, witnessed, and held with care.
This is the space we protect.
This is the work we honour.
Serving Guelph, Kitchener-Waterloo, Cambridge, Hamilton, Toronto, Niagara, Muskoka, and surrounding areas across Southwestern and Central Ontario.

Ash to Ember is a trauma-informed social enterprise committed to making healing accessible, ethical, and rooted in community care. We are committed to reinvesting a meaningful portion of our profits back into our mission to make healing accessible.

We walk beside you, not ahead of you, because we’ve lived this too.
This is a place where your pain is not too much, your process is not too slow, and your longing for more is sacred.
Meet Your Facilitators
Ash to Ember was born from our own healing journeys — through trauma, ceremony, and deep nervous system repair. We’ve walked this path ourselves, and now we walk it with others.

Choosing to step into a plant medicine retreat isn’t just about taking medicine it’s about choosing yourself. It’s about healing, growth, and stepping into the life you were meant to live.
At Ash to Ember, we do things differently. We are a trauma-informed retreat, which means we understand that deep healing requires safety, trust, and support before, during, and after your journey.
Healing isn’t about escaping your past it’s about reclaiming your power. That’s why we’ve created a space where you can:
Feel safe and supported – Our team ensures that you are cared for at every step, so you never have to navigate this alone.
Explore at your own pace – Whether you’re here for microdosing, ceremony work, or just learning, there’s no pressure only possibilities.
Integrate your experience – True transformation happens after the ceremony. We guide you in bringing the insights from your journey into your everyday life.
Guided by our experienced facilitators, you’ll have the space to explore your inner world, release what no longer serves you, and step into a renewed, empowered version of yourself.
Healing isn’t just possible it’s already within you. We’re just here to help you unlock it.

Therapeutic Benefits
At Ash to Ember Healing Retreats, we harness the power of plant medicine, Reiki, bio-tuning, and reflexology to support profound healing.

Each experience is crafted to guide you back to yourself through natural, transformative healing.

Scientific Research
Plant medicines enhance neuroplasticity, fostering emotional resilience and reducing symptoms of depression, anxiety, and PTSD. Reiki promotes relaxation and emotional clarity. Bio-tuning uses sound to relieve stress and boost well-being, while reflexology improves circulation and mood through targeted pressure points.

Integration Support
We believe transformation continues well beyond the retreat. At Ash to Ember, we offer ongoing integration support to help turn your insights into lasting change.
