Hi! Iā€™m Ashley,

 I have been working and learning to be able to offer forms of holistic healing to my community. My journey to my healing practice started in 2010 when I graduated from The Salter school for Massage Therapy, a 900 hour program where I studied Swedish, deep tissue, sports and hot stone massage. Since graduating I have studied continuing education in cupping, myofascial, prenatal massage and Reiki and the traditional Hawaiian massage, Lomi Lomi, which is by far my favorite style to work in and the style that I find has the most benefits to the receiver. Along the way in my own health journey, I struggled with the way western medicine functioned and found it to be more harmful than helpful to my health. I began to be curious about other forms of healing and medicine, beginning to read and learn about herbal medicine, meditation and yoga.  In 2013 I started my 200 hour yoga and meditation teacher training certification at The Heron Studio in Fall River MA and soon after, in 2014 I  began leading yoga classes. I found yoga and massage to blend very well together so I began offering yoga massage where sessions include assisted stretches and massage while clients breathe into the stretches. I was still struggling with my own health and began focusing a lot on my nutrition and found that changing not only what I was eating but how I was eating had the biggest impact on not only my physical but also my mental health. Holistic nutrition is something I quickly gained a passion for, and wanting to be able to share this with other people I became certified as a Holistic Nutritionist from AFPA focusing on plant based nutrition and the 90/10 way of eating.                                                              

I truly enjoy offering each of these forms of healing. I also feel that we need to come at our health from many angles with many different ways of healing to get the best results. So I have created The Breath Of Light Program that incorporates every form of healing that I have to offer, to bring a more full spectrum personalized healing to each person.
