Hello! I’m Felan Draven, and I am passionate about empowering individuals on their personal journeys. As someone who identifies as transgender and has ADHD, dyslexia, and autism, I understand firsthand the unique challenges and gifts that come with neurodiversity and living authentically.
The transformational growth mindset has been a part of my life since I was 6 years old. As someone with ADHD, dyslexia, and autism, I’ve experienced the world through a neurodivergent lens. Growing up in a small town in the mountains of Montana as an undiagnosed neurodivergent and closeted transgender, I struggled to fit in with my peers. I had to develop strategies to navigate my own path. My dad, taught me invaluable lessons as I grow up. He showed me how to turn toward discomfort and emotions, asking myself questions like, “Why am I feeling this way?” and learning to experience the sensations in my body. This approach helped me understand my emotions better, allowing me to recognize when they were arising and how to manage them.
At 30, I embraced my true self through hormone reassignment therapy, which, while a joyous transition, also triggered dormant issues within my body. This led to full body neuropathic pain due to a hypersensitive nervous system, alongside the discovery of bone spurs on my vertebrae and degenerative discs in my lower back. With limited options for pain management due to adverse reactions to medications, I faced a daunting diagnosis: doctors expressed that improvement seemed impossible.
Refusing to accept this narrative, I embarked on an extensive journey of exploration and self-discovery. I delved deeply into philosophy, psychology, various religions, neuroscience, mindfulness, emotional intelligence, and even quantum physics. Over many years of dedicated study, application, and lifestyle transformation, I discovered effective strategies for managing my conditions and achieved pain-free living for the past three years.
Through my experiences, I have not only transformed my own life but also sought to help others achieve their greatness. I have studied coaching methodologies and developed a framework to guide individuals in navigating their own paths toward empowerment and fulfillment.
Today, I am committed to using my knowledge and wisdom to support others as they embrace their unique identities, overcome obstacles, and cultivate a life aligned with their true selves. Together, we can navigate the complexities of life and unlock the potential within each of us.
I’ve been practicing transformational growth for over 30 years, with 10 years of formal practice totaling 3,000+ hours of study and practice. I completed the 8-week MBSR course in 2022. For the past 2 years, I've had the privilege of facilitating mindfulness and coaching, both individually and in groups, accumulating 200+ facilitation hours. I also have 35 years of personal transgender experience, 10 years in transition, and 100+ hours study into transgender care and transformation. Currently, I have earned 100+ CE hours in professional development with digital credentials.
Hey there!
I'm Ashe, and I'd love to help you find your path toward self-love, growth, and high-vibration living!
My journey to becoming a transformational life coach began long before I even knew what that was. As a child, navigating undiagnosed ADHD and autism while moving through the foster care system until my eventual adoption, I learned early on what it meant to feel unseen and unsupported. I had to learn to understand myself, to find my own path, and to be my own advocate. This challenging experience ignited a fire within me: a deep, unwavering desire to ensure no one else felt that same sense of isolation and confusion.
That drive led me to wear many hats in the preschool setting, where I discovered the joy of nurturing growth and understanding in young children. I saw the potential in each of them, just as I learned to see it in myself. Now, as a transformational life coach, I bring that same passion and dedication to adults seeking positive change.
My friends often come to me for guidance, trusting my ability to see the heart of the matter and help them navigate life's complexities. This intuition is sharpened by years of self-study, including countless books on mindfulness techniques, habit breaking, emotional intelligence, Eastern religions, and much more. I've also taken several classes in behavioral and developmental psychology. As such, I understand the nuances of human behavior, and I use that knowledge to guide my clients towards greater self-awareness and empowerment.
My personal experience has given me a unique perspective and a profound empathy for those who feel lost or misunderstood. I understand the power of having someone truly see you, to offer support and guidance when you need it most. I am committed to filling that gap, to helping both adults and children discover their strengths, overcome obstacles, and create a life filled with purpose and fulfillment. Let’s work together to unlock your potential and build the life you deserve!
