I'm Asha Kohli — a daughter of the earth, a steward of sacred ways, a student of the body, and a guide for those remembering how to feel, move, and express from a place of deep inner knowing.
I hold space at the intersection of movement, folk medicine, and creative practices. My work is about coming home to your inner knowing by way of your body.
I believe healing happens in the body first, and that our vessels are the keepers of all the answers we seek in life.
Through Kohlibri Creative, I support seekers, sensitive souls, creatives, caretakers, and those at a crossroads in life who are ready to remember what's sacred, embrace their inherited gifts, deepen their intuition, reclaim their authority, and live with more rhythm, reverence, and resilience.
My grandmothers on both sides—India and Colombia—were the ones who remembered. How to work with plants. How to hold ceremony. How to listen to what the body was trying to say before the mind got involved.I am ancestrally rooted in the wisdom of both India and the Andes, though my training spans continents and traditions, woven into a unique tapestry of embodiment and remembrance.
For nearly a decade, I've been walking a path that braids many lineages together. I've apprenticed in Andean and Amazonian plant spirit medicine under my maestra, Francisca Santibañez, learning through dietas, ceremony, and direct relationship with plant teachers. I'm completing training as an Ayurvedic Wellness Counselor, and I've studied somatic womb practices, yoga, movement-based healing, and folk medicine across South America and North America.
I walk with intention on the Red Road as a canupa (sacred pipe) carrier, entrusted with this responsibility under the guidance of Elder Millard Murphy and Lakota Chief Norman, whose teachings on prayer, presence, walking in a good way, and the sacredness of every step continue to ripple through my life and work.
This path is not mine alone. It is a braid, a sacred weaving, of earth, story, and spirit—held with humility and great care.
I live and practice on the ancestral lands of the Pomo and Coast Miwok peoples—land that continues to teach me through her winds, her waters, her lush and wild wonder.
I bow to the original stewards of this place and to the lineages that have held rituals, ceremonies, stewardship, and earth connection as sacred since time immemorial.
I give deepest thanks to the Indigenous Andean and Amazonian teachers who have shaped me—human and more-than-human—and to the ancient lineage holders who carry memory in their bones.
Through the body, I listen.
Through the earth, I remember.
Through movement, I return home—again and again.
Embodiment practices, earth-based rituals, and acts of creativity hold the keys to helping us return to our true essence, our intuition, and our sense of belonging in this world. The people I work with are often tired—tired of healing that doesn't land in their bodies, tired of creativity that extracts more than it gives, tired of spiritual practices that bypass the real stuff.
So we work with what's actually here: grief, joy, ancestors, plants, movement, story, land. We let the body lead instead of the mind for once.I believe we can't heal ourselves without healing our relationship to the earth. The things we're looking for—the answers, the medicine, the way forward—they're already inside us. We just need to remember how to listen.
