Ashley Gordon
Reiki Practitioner | Meditation Guide
Even as a little girl Ashley knew something was beckoning her forward to help in some way on this planet. Her empathetic nature developed quickly as she watched her oldest brother be hospitalized multiple times a year.
Ashley's Dark Night of the Soul began in 2012. Her awakening & initiation into understanding who she truly is happened through the loss of a boyfriend to cancer at the age of 22, the passing of both her older brothers and her dad less than two weeks apart in 2014- 2015, and many other challenging times in life. Despite all of the hardship she chose to rise above it.
Through all of her life experiences she has come to truly believe that there is NOTHING we can't overcome. When we align ourselves with what we are capable of, and devote our lives to becoming the best versions of ourselves, nothing is impossible. Ashley is a Reiki practitioner who is dedicated to honouring the power and magic of energy. It is her greatest honour and deepest calling to share this wisdom with her community. The ability to co-create a space where you connect back into your own power and magic is why Ashley loves doing this work.

Allison Stierle
Shamanic Practitioner | Owner of My STAReaa |
Angel Card Reader
I'm Allison Stierle, the founder of STAReaa, and you can find me in the digital realm as Alli Stareaa on my page, My Stareaa. Embracing Calgary for over 30 years and originally hailing from northern Alberta, I cherish the familiar chinooks and the daily mountain vistas.
My journey in Calgary began in 1993 when a job opportunity drew me here. Quickly immersing myself in an Olympic winter sport, I crossed paths with my teacher and mentor, forever altering my course.
This fortuitous encounter opened the doors to Ancient Nordic Shamanism, focusing on power animals, Soul retrieval, and Soul energy extraction. I transitioned from student to helper, assistant, employee, and friend under his guidance. Armed with my hand drum, rattles, shakers, whistles, and chimes, I underwent extensive training to master the monotonous, repetitive drumming technique, a key element in accessing information for facilitating soul healing.
My spiritual journey spans five decades, exploring diverse paths, yet Ancient Shamanism resonates profoundly in my heart. While I incorporate tools acquired from various teachers and mentors, Shamanism remains my cornerstone.
