The Story Behind Earth & Ash
Hi, I’m chanté
Founder of Earth & Ash
Rooted in creativity, guided by intuition, and deeply devoted to transformation.
Earth & Ash is the living embodiment of a lifelong journey—one shaped by creativity, healing, and the quiet courage to evolve.
It began in the early 2000s, when I studied fashion design at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in Los Angeles. The fashion world taught me how to bring vision to life, how to lead from behind the scenes, and how to wear many hats while staying grounded in beauty and originality.
Years later, my own skin healing journey opened a new door. I transitioned into skincare and never looked back. With over a decade of experience as a licensed esthetician, I specialize in treatments that blend clinical results with intuitive care—including sound healing, flower essences, and energy work.
But Earth & Ash has never been just a skincare studio. It’s a place of return. A space for reconnection, ritual, and renewal.
As I grow, so does the studio. I’m now weaving in my love of pottery, immersive experiences, and creative expression. From skincare and energy work to clay-based rituals and sound journeys, I’m building a multifaceted offering that reflects who I am: not just a practitioner, but a guide, a maker, and a facilitator of meaningful experiences.
In a world of titles and categories, I don’t always fit neatly into a box—and that’s by design. I’m not a guru. I’m not here to fix you. I’m here to create space for you to meet yourself.
Located in Seattle’s Interbay neighborhood, Earth & Ash welcomes those seeking more than just a facial or sound bath. It’s for anyone craving presence, creativity, and a deeper sense of self.
This isn’t about escaping life. It’s about remembering who you are in the middle of it.

I absolutely love exploring the great outdoors! Whether I'm hiking in the mountains, strolling through the woodlands, relaxing on the Washington coast, or wandering through the rolling hills of the Midwest, there's just something so magical about being surrounded by nature. Joshua Tree National Park holds a very special place in my heart. The desert landscape is like nothing else, and the energy there is simply otherworldly.

I strive to express and nurture my innate creativity and spirituality each day, as I believe that leading a purpose-driven life with intention is paramount. It is essential for me to delve deeper into my own psyche and gain a more profound comprehension of the world around me. I value this process of self-awareness and learning tremendously.
I have come to realize the importance of regulating my nervous system through various practices such as energy work, cold immersion, and Joe Dispenza meditations. I find that these complementary techniques act as the perfect complement to my daily routine, providing me with the added boost of energy and focus I need to live my life to the fullest.

For me, one of the most challenging experiences is taking a plunge into cold water it tests my mental strength every time. But I've realized that stepping out of my comfort zone is crucial for my personal growth. Therefore, I try to challenge myself as often as possible and push my limits to experience new things.

To truly take care of myself, I have found that honesty is the best policy. I make it a priority to be truthful with myself about my emotions and how I perceive the world around me. This practice allows me to create a safe and comfortable space for myself to fully experience and process my feelings without any judgment.
I believe that the deeper I dive into my inner self, the more I can expand the container that I hold for others. By being fully in touch with my own emotions, I can better understand and empathize with the feelings of those around me, and provide a more comprehensive and supportive space for us all to grow and thrive.

I find it quite challenging to participate in conversations that only scratch the surface, without delving into deeper and more meaningful topics.

The Bamboo Tree metaphor
When you’re in alignment, good things don’t take time
Move on purpose, in purpose.
Difficult paths lead to beautiful places.
The journey may be long, but the transformation will be beautiful.
Seek respect, not attention.
