Our Story

The Ninth Sphere was created from a long personal search for understanding.

Much of our work is shaped by lived experience — moving through early childhood trauma, being diagnosed with complex PTSD, and navigating periods of chronic illness and physical pain.

These experiences led us to ask deeper questions about how the body holds memory, how patterns form, and how healing actually happens.

A Path of Study and Practice

For over 25 years, I have studied astrology and meditation as frameworks for understanding both personal experience and broader patterns of life.

Alongside this, movement has been a constant thread — through dance, yoga, and somatic practices — exploring how the body expresses, protects, and eventually releases what it carries.

This eventually led me into clinical work.

As a Registered Massage Therapist for over 11 years, I have developed a particular focus on trauma-informed anatomy, the fascial system, and the relationship between physical structure and emotional experience.

Working directly with the body reinforced something I had long suspected:

that healing is not only cognitive — it is also physical and deeply embodied.

Integrating the Work

Over time, these areas of study began to converge.

Astrology offered a language for patterns and cycles.
Somatic work revealed how those patterns lived in the body.
Shadow work and meditation made it possible to bring awareness to what had been unconscious.

Alongside this, intuitive perception and energy work — something that has been present throughout my life and further developed through training, including Reiki — became another way of understanding the subtle layers of experience.

Rather than seeing these as separate practices, I began to understand them as different ways of approaching the same process.

The Ninth Sphere

The Ninth Sphere emerged as a way to bring these elements together into a single, integrated approach.

It reflects the idea that healing and self-understanding happen through the interaction of:

• the body
• the nervous system
• the psyche
• and the larger patterns that shape our lives

This work is not about quick fixes or surface-level change.

It is about developing a deeper awareness of how patterns form, how they are held, and how they can shift over time through consistent, embodied practice.

Moving Forward

Everything offered within The Ninth Sphere is grounded in both personal experience and years of study and practice.

The intention is to create a space where people can explore their own patterns — physically, emotionally, and symbolically — with clarity, depth, and support.

I look forward to working with you,

I am Deb Ashbee, Witch, Healer, Liminal Veilwalker and creator of Phoenix Passage, a sacred transformational journey woven from ritual, energy work, ancestral wisdom, and the ancient art of release.

Within the sacred circle of Phoenix Passage, I guide souls through the flames of transformation, helping them release energetic cords, ancestral burdens, grief, guilt, limiting beliefs, and the stories that no longer belong to them. Through ritual, intention, spirit-guided reflection, and sacred flame work, I hold space for profound healing and rebirth.

Like the Phoenix rising from the ashes, I believe every soul carries within it the power to transform pain into wisdom, wounds into strength, and endings into new beginnings. My work is devoted to helping others reclaim lost pieces of themselves, awaken their inner magic, and remember the truth of who they are beneath the weight of the past.

Each Phoenix Passage is a personalized sacred crossing—a journey through shadow and flame, guided by intuition, spirit, and the wisdom of the soul. Together, we honor what has been, release what no longer serves, and call forth the most empowered version of the self.

Step into the circle. Release the old. Awaken your magic. Rise from the ashes.

Phoenix Passage: Where healing becomes alchemy and every ending becomes a sacred rebirth.
