The Face of a Poker Champion

This is for you if you’re an energy worker — or if you simply believe in the power of remote connection. (Belief not required.)

Ashira Lavine is a holistic healer, mindfulness teacher, and coach with extensive trauma training — all that inside a poker champion! This photo is from ten years ago, and watch for her at the table today.

If you’ve ever wondered what the face of a poker champion looks like, just take a look at that winning smile on Ashira Lavine.

You may not have heard of her yet… but you will. Soon. (Pronounce her last name La-vine’ — like grapevine.)

Today — June 9, 2025 — at 11am PDT (Las Vegas time), Ashira continues her journey in the 2025 World Series of Poker Colossus Tournament.

Out of 16,301 entrants, just 103 remain.

Last night at midnight, she bagged her chips to advance to the final day.

Once they’re down to 9 players, PokerGo will televise the final table. PokerNews.com is covering live updates throughout.

🔮 Your Invitation to Energetically Connect

ENERGY TEAM, ENGAGE.

Since 2009, I’ve reached out to my community like this — inviting you to connect on an energetic level, virtually, for a specific purpose.

This is one of those moments.

If you feel called, send a focused, positive thought to Ashira and me — for clarity, calm, correct decisions… and detachment from the outcome.

You know how a mother and daughter can have that invisible connection? That’s how it feels when I tune in. I see what others miss — it’s the nurturer in me.

If that sounds too woo, I get it.

But remember:

You don’t have to believe in electricity for your fridge to keep running.

People can send and receive energy across time zones and miles.

If you want to be part of this virtual family and feel the energy flowing, just post your city and state.

When I do this, I’m aligned.

And Ashira?

She’s playing her authentic game — and she’s a badass, in it to win it.

Please know that I love you just the way you are.

Consider yourself hugged.🤗

— Donna, MindShift Coach

P.S.
Whenever Ashira pops into your thoughts, send a little love her way. No need to overthink it.

Just think — Easy. Trust. Calm.
