our journey arriving at sanaé
Cousins, Ashleigh Stewart & Becky de Graaf were raised in the countryside of Alberta. Growing up immersed in nature and surrounded by community and family. Both inspired by the land and the gifts it sows. The values instilled in them demonstrated by their Dutch grandparents, were based around the idea of living authentically and in doing so, having certainty and confidence in who you are. To persevere and tenaciously achieve your goals, as anything is possible with some elbow grease. This mindset helped to shape their outlook on life throughout adolescence and the direction of their careers.
Through their own transitions and life circumstances, as individuals, as family, as people, they have experienced the need for healing.
In 2021, Ashleigh began her education to become an Herbalist to learn about medicinal properties in a time of need. The conversation around complimentary medicine and needing additional support from daily life to major transitions, here, from this place, the vision of Sanaé was realized.
The unique gifts between them both; 5 element healing methods, iChing teachings, traditional Cree techniques and herbalism.
Coming together in perfect timing, their friendship and family dynamic has allowed them to realize their synergy of gifts and common desire & dedication to pursue a life of purpose.
Today, their family still lives remotely and connected to the land.

Ashleigh spent her childhood understanding the necessity of the land and with deep respect of the natural world.
Her early interests in community, creative story-telling and truth seeking led her to the Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication at Arizona State University in 2016. She went on to be a health broadcast reporter and was apart of the Southwest Health Reporting Initiative, which covered the disparities in underserved communities and focused on community development to health equity. During her time reporting in these communities and developing a closeness to their stories, she was motivated to make an impact beyond getting the word out on broadcast.
She moved back to Canada in 2021 and pursued another calling of hers; herbal medicine. She studied to become an herbalist and is in continuous mentorship under her shamanic elder and teacher.
It is Ashleigh’s purpose to be of service to others, and her way of doing so is by producing medicinal formulas to heal.

Originally from a remote, rural area on the edge of Banff National Park I was raised on an organic farm surrounded by family and community. Immersed in nature from an early age and raised by parents that graciously bestowed their indigenous way of life, I was privy to a more soul-centered lifestyle from the grassroots.
Eager to find my place, I paved my own path in the modern world, building a prominent career in the interior design industry starting in 2007. I sat on boards and worked on unique residential & commercial projects, dedicated to shift the narrative to encompass more meaningful design on everything I was involved in.
It wasn’t until a traumatic car accident that I was forced to reorient my life in entirety and heal.
While on this newfound path of healing, I was introduced to a shamanic healer who later became my teacher, my elder, whom I led my apprenticeship under as a rising Medicine Woman.
Since then, Becky has trained under countless conscious masters who together have helped her unearth her own intuitive gifts and synthesize what her business is today.
She has an insatiable curiosity surrounding the worlds of space, energetics and wellbeing and have dedicated herself to the exploration of truly living in all-encompassing authenticity.
