21 | How to Choose Your Trauma Healing Facilitators Wisely with Ashlee Bowlin

Sobriety & Holistic Self Healing for the Addiction Recovery Community: Recovered Life

In this episode of Recovered Life, Chelsea Anderson is joined by Ashlee Bowlin, aka @thealchemicalash on Instagram.

Ashlee is a student and practitioner of the esoteric arts from West Texas. She’s a survivor of childhood trauma who has found significant healing through holistic spiritual modalities, due to her own inner work and the support of trusted healing facilitators.

Chelsea and Ashlee met while attending Energy Somatics’ Energy Camp event in Dallas, Texas in July 2024. Ashlee also attended Energy Camp in Tucson in January 2025.

Both Ashlee and Chelsea are growing in their understanding of energy, how and why trauma stores in the body, and how each human being’s needs are unique. Through energy healing and chiropractic, they’ve received not just the results they thought they wanted, but the deeper healing they NEEDED.

This episode is shared with love and gratitude for Drs. Brett and Kate Jones, founders of Energy Somatics.

Tune in as Chelsea and Ashlee explore:

• Ashlee’s traumatic childhood events and their long term impact into her adulthood

• Shortfalls of the conventional talk therapy & medication approach for trauma survivors, especially children

• The importance of having trusted facilitators when engaging with plant medicines, psychedelics and energy work

• Chelsea and Ashlee’s list of “green flag” characteristics to look for when choosing healing facilitators

• How Chelsea’s experiences with Energy Somatics & The Source Chiropractic have shaped her approach as a mentor to those in addiction recovery

• How our language impacts our ability to heal, for better or worse
