Ashley lord

Ashley is an inspirational poet, voice over artist and bestselling author of "In the Heart of the Light; poetry of awakening." She grew up in Port Credit, a waterfront village near Toronto, Ontario, Canada. As a young teenager she began practicing yoga & meditation; her sensitive heart, the fuel that led her deep into exploring the mysteries & philosophies of the healing arts. After earning an unrelated bachelors degree, she was far more taken with a love of adventure and her curiosity of yoga, life and art widened. She spent the next fifteen years writing, travelling, living and working both in the hospitality industry and as a yoga & meditation teacher in different countries all over the world. Ashley is also a certified sound healer, energy practitioner & life coach. 

​

Alongside the beauty of travel and creativity, Ashley has also navigated the challenges of living as a highly sensitive soul. Her own experiences with addiction, anxiety and the ups and downs of mental health have become part of her medicine — shaping her compassion, her poetry, and her devotion to helping others find calm and self-love. The imagery of her brand, In the Heart of the Light, reflects this journey. As a child, Ashley’s bedroom was covered in rainbow wallpaper — a reflection of her inner child’s delight in color, imagination, and wonder. That love of rainbows has become an essential part of her living expression and artistic brand, symbols of joy and the creative light that lives within us all. Today, she weaves that inner light through her poetry and voice, reminding others of the radiance they already carry inside

​

Ashley is now a full time artist and creator, writing collections of poetry while also lending her vibrant & soothing voice to various projects. In addition to voicing for commerce, film and tv, she spends her time crafting meditation, song & spoken word tracks for her digital audio sanctuary THE LIGHT LIBRARY that helps people regulate their nervous system, soften overwhelm and reconnect with themselves. 

She writes from love, about resilience, her raw words, take you on a journey through the light and dark parts of yourself and the feelings of being human. Her imaginative and visual style of writing is like part love letter, part sage wisdom, part intimate diary entry. You'll be uplifted, intrigued and inspired by turning the pages in her poetic medicine. Ashley lives in North Vancouver, Canada, tucked into the mountains with her loves.

And yes, Lord is her real last name :)
