How The Self Collective Studio Began

The Self Collective Studio was born from our collective experiences of self-discovery and empowerment, recognizing the critical need for a nurturing sanctuary where individuals could invest in themselves without reservation. Rooted in the belief that every woman deserves a space to prioritize her well-being, we envisioned a haven where women could unite, free from judgment or societal pressures. Jana, as a workshop facilitator, witnessed firsthand the profound impact of self-reflection and growth, offering diverse workshops to empower individuals on their journey. Ashley, a sound bath practitioner, channels the healing power of sound to create tranquil spaces for release and rejuvenation. Jay, our boudoir photographer, celebrates the essence of each woman, empowering them to embrace their journey through intimate photo shoots. At The Self Collective Studio, we offer workshops, sound baths, and photo shoots as avenues for self-investment and growth. It's a place where women can connect, heal, and celebrate their uniqueness—a space where self-love flourishes. Join us on this transformative journey at The Self Collective Studio.

We all have our own journey

Each one of us has been on our own self-development journey that in turn has led us to practice our mission every day.

  • Ashley with Well + Ash

    Ashley “Ash” Whitten creates immersive auditory experiences, while offering a sanctuary for people to detach from the relentless pace of modern life and connect with their inner selves. In this calming space of harmonious frequencies, individuals can effortlessly let go of stress and anxiety, allowing the restorative power of the sound bath to envelop them in an experience of tranquility, ultimately leading them to discover a renewed sense of balance and mindfulness in their lives.

  • Jay with Bellissimo Photography Studio

    Jenita “Jay” Hladyshewsky took her passion for empowering others from her extensive years in the nonprofit field to empowering women through intimate glamour photography. She deeply believes women, today more than ever, must celebrate their accomplishments and femininity. Jay helps her clients find their strength, while capturing their own inner and outer beauty in a medium that can be remembered forever. Her philosophy is “You are fine art.”
