Ashley has well over a decade of working with people and their bodies to help improve their overall well being. After graduating from NAIT she started as a personal trainer in 2009 opening a gym doing group training as well as 1:1. Then in 2015 she decided to make a change over to massage therapy (graduated from MH Vicars 2017) so she could offer even more to her clients. In addition she’s currently pursuing her Developmental Somatic Psychology Practitioner License (set to graduate in 2024) from Bodynamic International as it’s become clear to her over the years the body is so much more complex and deep than we give it credit for. This thirst for knowledge has her community coining her nickname as the ‘Body Decoder’. If you’re ever curious about something emotional or if you’ve got a strange or lasting ache or pain Ashley is who you want to talk to about it.

What you can expect in a massage with Ashley is to be taken to another planet! She has a unique style of massage that focuses on the bones and outlining all the muscles in the body so your whole being gets the TLC it needs and deserves. She describes her massages as therapeutic relaxation as it’s a mixture of deep(er) tissue and Swedish flushing techniques. It’s not uncommon for her to use cupping and gua sha in the treatment too depending on your goals. It should also be noted she is someone who doesn’t give typical homework post massage. You will find she will prescribe anything from a tv series to watch, to a book to read, to mindset work as well as specific somatic movements to help you embody your best self and more.
