Nice To Meet You
I’m Ashley Marais -- a full-time psychology student on my path to becoming a clinical therapist, and a lifelong storyteller. Writing has always been my first love. I started sharing my work on Wattpad when I was just thirteen years old, and by sixteen, I was already publishing books. What began as a passion for escaping into fictional worlds has now grown into a career of creating deep, emotional stories that connect with readers around the world.
Outside of writing and school, I’m all about holistic healing, wellness, and growth. I love exploring herbal remedies, mindfulness, and the ways we can transform pain into power -- an arc that is reflected in my writing quite a bit. My dream is to help people heal not just through therapy, but through words, stories, and the worlds I create.
Whether you’re here for my books, my Patreon community, or just to see what I’m building, thank you for being part of this journey with me. Thanks to you, I get to live out my dream every day.
My Story
Since I was a kid, books have always been my safe place. At thirteen, I opened a Wattpad account just to see if anyone else might feel something from my words. I never expected thousands of people to connect with my stories, but they did. By sixteen, I leaped into publishing, and since then, I’ve been building a writing career that’s both vulnerable and powerful.
Now, as a psychology student, my worlds collide: the science of the mind and the art of storytelling. Both allow me to explore human emotions -- the shadows, the tender, the healing. Writing is where I give those emotions a voice, and psychology is how I learn to guide others through them.
At the heart of everything I do, whether in therapy or fiction, is a simple belief: we are all worthy of deep love, healing, and transformation. No matter how dark or scary our past may have been.
