Master Rose Ashley was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, shortly after the end of World War II. She grew up as an only child watching cowboys on TV and dreaming of one day living on a ranch out west with a trusty dog and a beautiful horse. Unfortunately, this didn't seem likely for most of her life because her father traveled extensively with the Navy and her mother worked a full-time job in the city. So, she entertained herself by reading books, visiting with spirit friends, and galloping throughout the house on an imaginary steed.

She is presently a spiritual teacher and advisor who served as a professional psychic for 15 years before being initiated in 1986 as a Master of the Swanéte philosophy. Swanéte is an ancient spiritual philosophy based on a core belief that we are here to love and serve God by loving and serving all of God's creations.

Her primary areas of exploration are metaphysical studies, parapsychology, quantum physics, and animal communication, rehabilitation, and training. Her signature workshop of over 35 years is Inventing Your Life, a pathway to spiritual success and happiness. Her two passions are helping people and helping animals, which led her to establish The Swan Center for Intuitive Living in 1987. The Swan Center is a spiritual, educational center for those seeking higher levels of personal awareness and is also a sanctuary for previously abused and neglected horses. Master Rose and her students rescue and rehabilitate horses then partner with them to offer spiritual and therapeutic programs to the general public, including mentally and physically challenged children and adults.

Master Rose loves introducing people from every walk of life to the therapeutic and spiritual value of a loving relationship with animals. She presently lives in the Santa Clarita Valley in California and spends her time teaching spiritual classes, working with animals, writing, and doing as many arts and crafts as she can possibly squeeze into her day.
