The Players
It Takes A Village To Raise A Children’s TV Show
Meet our Creator, Ash, and some of the incredible executive, production, vision, and talent players from The Inner Space Place Pilot.
Meet Ash
She’s been an inner space explorer for over fifteen years, and she’s never gonna stop staying curious!
Ash is a mom of two amazing young girls, and was the director of Healthy Minds, Healthy Bodies Kids Programs for eight years where she helped schools, teachers, parents, counselors and kids help themselves through self-awareness and self-help practices. She’s enjoyed over 15,000 hours as a wellness educator, over 30,000 hours as a professional performance artist, and over 30,000 hours in deep exploration of her inner space in many, many ways. She’s the creator of THE INNER SPACE PLACE and CREATOR BEING PRODUCTIONS, providing media medicine for our highest becoming and hopefulness.
Ash’s magical media influences in the making of THE INNER SPACE PLACE have included Mary Poppins, Mister Rogers Neighborhood, The Wizard of Oz, Gabby’s Dollhouse and her own HMHB children’s wellness programs she developed with schools, groups, counselors, and teachers for ages 4-18.
She’d like to thank the incredible friends she met in Bali for all coming together and giving their time and talent to this shared vision of The Inner Space Place. Most off all she’ like to thank her family for their incredible support, from the bottom of her heart, for their hearts: Lulu, Avah, Rae & Yeshe-dog.

Alexis Joy
VOICE OF ORBIT & MAKEUP ARTIST
“The world of edutainment for children is ready for something that goes beneath the surface, that honors the inner life of a child as something sacred and worth tending to. And then there was Orbit. A character who feels everything fully. Who is honest, expressive, sometimes messy, and completely allowed to be. She gives every child watching permission to be honest with themselves, with others, and to never stop being curious.”
Alexis is a creative, a deeply sensitive being, and a mother. She had to lose herself before she could truly come home to herself. It was the hard stuff that brought her back to who she is and why she’s here. This led her to guide others to turn their own deepest challenges into wisdom.
Through her work, she holds space for women to come home to themselves. Right now she’s building Well Within, a space for women to clear the fog and return to their own truth.
Being a mother has been the greatest invitation of her life. It has asked her to become more honest, more present, more alive than anything else ever has.
And through The Inner Space Place, she brings that same devotion to the inner lives of children, reminding them, through Orbit, that their voice matters. That their feelings matter. That they are allowed to take up space.
She trusts her knowing, it has never led her astray. She believes the inner world is the most important place we’ll ever explore.

Anna Laska
VIDEOGRAPHER & PHOTOGRAPHER
“I often think that I wish something like this existed when I was a child. These kinds of conversations were not really present in my home or in school. If children learn early how to connect with themselves on a deeper level and understand their emotions, they build a strong internal foundation before stepping into the world. That kind of awareness can change how someone navigates life.”
She feels very lucky in this lifetime to make a living doing something she’s completely obsessed with. Photography is one of the ways she shares joy and connection with people. Sometimes she simply brings her camera and offers photos as a gift. A mother playing with her daughter, a couple hugging, a quiet moment between people.
She’s been working as a professional photographer for over 12 years, beginning in Scotland, now Bali, photographing weddings, couples, brands, families, and portraits.
One of the things she loves the most is showing people how beautiful they actually are. She has a small gift for seeing beauty in everyone and revealing sides of people they might never have noticed before. She offers a “Self Love Experience” for women. These sessions are designed as something deeper than a photo shoot. It starts with breathwork, guided meditation, and journaling prompts that help women reconnect with themselves, then a confidence photo session. It becomes a transformation experience rather than just creating beautiful photos.
She’s also developing education and retreats for photographers. She will be hosting retreats in Bali for female photographers, combining photography education with self-connection and self-love practices.

Cecil Hidayat
ILLUSTRATOR
“Weezer says: Love Is The Answer. I Agree.”
She said yes to The Inner Space Place because her husband Ryno said yes too!She’s a freelance illustrator living in Ubud, Bali, Indonesia. As an introvert, she feels like she speaks better through her drawings. Having spent several years working in Jakarta as an art director in advertising agencies, she decided she’s not built for the big city's hustle and bustle, and she started following her true passion for children's illustration when she moved to Ubud in 2013. When not working, you can mostly find her strolling through the rice fields, trying to make friends with the stray dogs I find along the way.
She’s developing a merchandise line called “Take A Little Bali With You” as an ode to this island she’s called home for the past 12 years. She loves what she does. You can purchase via offline stores all around Bali, or see the merch online: @takealittlebaliwithyou on IG.

Landon Rochat-Boeser
ARTIST
“Ash brought together the perfect mix of people for each role, and I trusted her vision from the very start. We sat together and did our first rough sketches for the show and she said we can help teach an entire generation how to better relate to themselves. Being a part of something driven by that kind of passion just felt right and I believed it would absolutely come through in the final product.”
Landon is a life long artist who took a hiatus from his passion to focus on his career and growing family. After becoming a father, he was called back into art through his daughter, and it became ritual for them to create each night together before bedtime. The piece shown here is one of their inspired collaborations titled "Bella and Connie."
Landon adventures into his imagination to create freeform art that is whimsical and abstract, drawing inspiration from music, his children, and his environment. His work is mixed media created through experimentation by blending and layering pens, markers and acrylics.You can see his work throughout the show, as he have form to the Wonders of Wandering Book as well as Mister Beadyeyes.

Marcela Mota
LADY M (YOGIC MOVEMENT ARTIST)
“This body of ours has so much wisdom. Growing up I didn’t learn how to listen to my body and my emotions. We live in a society that lives from the head up, but we must reclaim the wisdom of the body. When we do this, we can be truly informed, make good decisions, and be embodied sovereign beings, which is what we need in this world.”
Marcela is lead trainer at All Yoga School and the co-founder of 5 Elements Wisdom Academy. With over a decade of experience teaching internationally, she has extensive training in Yin Yoga, 5 Elements Yoga Therapy, Ashtanga, Rocket Vinyasa, Pre- and Postnatal Yoga. Marcela has facilitated over 30 teacher trainings and certified more than 500 yoga teachers worldwide. Her work weaves together Yin and Yang styles of Yoga, Taoist philosophy, nervous system awareness, and intuitive wisdom.
Marcela is known for creating learning spaces that are grounded, embodied, and deeply human. Her teaching invites students to slow down, listen inward, and understand the subtle layers of body, energy, and emotion — both on and off the mat.
Rooted in a trauma-informed and heart-led approach, Marcela’s work supports students in developing not only technical skill, but also clarity, trust, and authenticity in their teaching and life path.
Her hope is that the kids watching this show have permission to feel their feels and be who they are. Once they are their own authentic selves, they can do and be whatever they want to in this world.

John Tilley
JT/ MUSICIAN
“Growing up a lot of my emotions were repressed, and I didn’t have the tools to explore them. This show would’ve helped me manage my expectations, confidence, and being. We can give this show to younger generations to navigate these difficult times and give them tools to do it in a fun, engaging, and brillant way. It’s a great concept; the world of inner space captured for kids like never before. Who wouldn’t say yes!?”
He’s been a musician for many years playing for some great singer songwriters, including Ed Sheeran, Beyonce, Paolo Nutini, Jamie Lawson, Kubb, Will and the People, La Roux, Katie Melua, Imelda May, Alex Hepburn and Jeremy Loops among others. He wrote a very special song “Lion In The Morning Sun” by Will And The People, a band he was a part of for many years.
He studied classical piano at Trinity College of Music under the acclaimed virtuoso Alexander Adakov.
He’s also writing middle grade fiction, Hist first adventure book is called “Cedric & The Golden Trident”. He’s a father of two children, whom he adores, and their travel together inspires his writing.

Barbara Tajan
CHILD PSYCHOLOGIST
“There are no wrong feelings. Anger, fear, and sadness exist in every human being, and serve a purpose (to say no to injustice, to flee danger, to process reality). You don’t have to be ashamed of feeling them, and you are not alone struggling with them. You rain and sun to make a rainbow.”
She enjoys taking part in any thoughtful and creative projects, especially when they are aimed at children. This project resonates strongly with what matters most to her when it comes to children in our society: giving them the right to exist fully, and the right to experience and move through the emotions they feel.
Historically, she’s a certified child psychologist. She’s worked in several different settings: with autistic children, in a pediatric hospital, and in an emergency reception center run by the Paris child protection services.
Alongside psychology, she works as a literary translator in French and English, and also writes articles and books.
Currently, she’s taken a year to shift her life and move to Bali, to explore a different way of living and to experience one of the many cultures the world has to offer.
She tends to approach life in a multifaceted way. She’s not very good at being just one thing, and that openness helps her make links between different fields, perspectives, and people.
In the end, she tries to work with what is, rather than what she wishes things to be — including the more difficult or uncomfortable realities of life.

“ This show and the education platform have world-changing impact. It’s everything I stand for: you won’t be led astray when you listen to your inner voice.”
Jessica Ann is the Founder of The Divine Femme Collective and The Sovereign CEO.
She works with leaders and entrepreneurs to recalibrate identity, nervous system, and self-leadership so they can create, lead, and receive from alignment rather than force.
Her work expands consciousness and stabilises a new internal baseline, allowing her clients to experience success, impact, and connection in a way that feels natural, regulated, and sustainable.
Through her integration of Human Design, Gene Keys, and nervous system work, Jess activates a new paradigm of leadership: one that is intuitive, energetically precise, and deeply self-led.
In 2019, she answered the call of her soul and devoted her life to spiritual initiation, transformation, and mastery leaving behind a career in education to fully embody her work.
Jess facilitates profound internal shifts on both mental and energetic levels. Her work creates lasting transformation not through effort or performance, but through identity, regulation, and alignment.
She bridges ancient wisdom with modern leadership, supporting her clients in dissolving false identities and returning to integrity, clarity, and self-trust where deeper love, aligned success, and authentic expression naturally follow.
Her work is not about becoming someone new, but remembering who you are and creating from that place.

Zaneta Gabriela Motkowicz
THINKIN EDUCATION CONSULTANT
“Ash is a true visionary creating a better world for children. As a mother of two, I struggled to find educational content truly worth sharing with my own children. Supporting Ash in finding clarity of intention and helping her think at her best was a real privilege.”
Zaneta is on a mission to help set human minds free. She teaches people how to think independently — in their lives, organisations, and teams. In today’s fast-moving, AI-disrupted world, creating quality time to think is no longer a luxury; it is a necessity.
She curates transformational spaces where leaders and teams gain clarity, attention, and ease through Thinking Environment sessions. Zaneta also guides mothers experiencing mental overload, decision fatigue, and the need for quiet space to think for themselves again through her THINKin programmes.
Zaneta is trained in the Time To Think® process, executive coaching, maternity coaching, career counselling, and Yoga Nidra. She has worked with prestigious business schools in London and Milan, guiding emerging leaders in their careers, and has advised global companies and high-growth startups on recruitment and employer branding strategies.
A happy mother of two curious boys, Zaneta knows firsthand the realities of burnout and anxiety. Her own search for ease and meaning has taken her trekking in the Himalayas, surfing in Morocco, and practising yoga in Sri Lanka. She has chosen to live life on her own terms — aligned with her values, centred on her family’s wellbeing, and close to nature. Originally from Poland, she is now based in peaceful Bali.
