Meet the founder and principal educator
Ashlena Virginia
Ashlena has been helping humans and animals restore energetic balance, emotional regulation, nervous system stability, and authentic alignment through consciousness work, intuitive guidance, energetic integration, and scientifically grounded transformation for over 8 years. She specializes in metacognition, inner signal stability, human/animal energetic alignment and intuitive wisdom.
Here’s what Minnesota Sage is all about!
Have you ever noticed your identity becomes unstable under emotional, relational, or mental pressure?
Even after healing, growth, or deep self-awareness, you still:
- Revert back into old mental loops
- Absorb other people’s emotional states
- Overthink yourself into paralysis
- Lose clarity during stress
- Fall back into familiar coping patterns
- Temporarily disconnect from your higher awareness
You are not broken.
Your access to self simply hasn’t become stabilized yet.
Believe it or not..
Animals experience energetic and emotional dysregulation too.
You may notice your animal:
- Absorbing stress from their environment
- Displaying anxiety or behavioral shifts
- Becoming emotionally reactive
- Struggling with nervous system dysregulation
- Reacting strongly to energetic tension within the home
- Mirroring the emotional state of their human
Animals are deeply sensitive energetic beings.
When balance is restored emotionally, environmentally, and energetically, profound shifts can occur.
That being said..
Most people think something is “wrong” with them.
In reality, many humans and animals are experiencing nervous system overload, emotional imprinting, energetic dysregulation, identity destabilization, and environmental stress responses.
This is a breakdown of what tends to happen when we become overloaded.
Identity Drop
- Old habits return
- Emotional overwhelm takes over
- External influence becomes dominant
Emotional Absorption
- Taking on emotions from others
- Difficulty separating self from environment
- Confusion between internal vs external emotional states
Cognitive Spiral
- Looping thoughts
- Chronic over-analysis
- Losing clarity under pressure
Pattern Reversion
- Returning to old coping mechanisms
- Defaulting to survival conditioning
- Disconnecting from authentic identity
This is Energetic/Nervous System Dysregulation
- Scientific research continues to demonstrate:
- Emotional contagion between humans and animals
- Nervous system co-regulation
- Stress resonance within environments
- Behavioral mirroring
- The impact of emotional states on physiological wellbeing
When the nervous system stabilizes, clarity, regulation, and authentic expression become far more accessible for both humans and animals alike.
Here’s how I can Help
I am not simply a mentor, intuitive, or educator.
I combine:
- Deep intuitive and psychic perception
- Emotional and cognitive understanding
- Consciousness and energetic awareness
- Nervous system and behavioral insight
- Real-world transformation experience
- Grounded, science-supported frameworks
My work bridges:
- Spirituality
- Neuroscience
- Emotional regulation
- Energetic awareness
- Consciousness expansion
- Human and animal emotional resonance
This work is designed to create real-life transformation, not temporary inspiration.

“Ashlena has seen my dog Joey about four times now after his accident in the spring- before her he would barley eat, play, or enjoy his favorite toys and now after a few sessions he is seemingly back to his playful happy self. I’m so thankful for all of her help and will be continuing services.”
