Flower Effect cultivates community healing by addressing the connection between trauma and violence.
What Does The Flower Effect Mean?
It’s the ripple effect of radical love.
We believe that healing, when done in community with accountability, spreads—like seeds carried on the wind, like flowers blooming through concrete. We name our work The Flower Effect because we’ve seen it: when one person heals, entire systems begin to shift.
Healing is not soft, it’s sacred, and it changes everything.
Flower Effect is a healing-centered, justice-rooted consulting and facilitation collective led by Ashley Johnson (they/she). We help individuals, communities, and organizations move through trauma, rupture, and misalignment with care, clarity, and courage.
Our work bridges the personal and the political. We believe conflict is not failure, but an invitation. Healing is not optional—it’s the soil of sustainable change. And accountability? It’s an act of love.
Our Origin Story
Flower Effect was born from a vision: a world where healing and justice are not separate conversations. A world where ancestral wisdom, community care, and structural change all bloom in the same ecosystem.
Ashley founded Flower Effect after more than a decade of working at the intersections of racial equity, youth development, healing justice, and organizational transformation. What began as a set of offerings has become a growing movement of people, organizations, and communities choosing wholeness over harm. Our work creates opportunities for people to sow the seeds of radical transformation in their lives.
We dream of a world free from intergenerational trauma and the violence that causes it. We want the impact of our work to be a seed that flowers, changing hearts, minds, and communities.
