Meet your therapist
Welcome to Golden Ash, I’m Ashley! I’m so glad you are here.

My work is rooted in lymphatic drainage, deep tissue, & intraoral massage. I love incorporating aspects of shiatsu, sports massage, craniosacral therapy, & herbalism into my treatments. Additionally, I am actively studying herbalism to integrate plant wisdom into my work.
My background is varied; for 6 years I specialized in medical esthetics, acne & chemical peels until I switched gears to bodywork & holistic healing. While treating severe skin conditions, most of the clients I saw were dealing with deep emotional stress that was affecting their physical body. While I could treat their acne, I felt like there was so much more under the surface that I couldn’t access. Incorporating somatic healing into my own life through meditation, breathwork, and receiving regular bodywork shifted my perspective & helped me see that I can help people bring their nervous system to a safe place where they can facilitate their own healing, if they so choose.
In my sessions, I want you to feel comfortable. If you want to talk then we can talk & if you want complete silence then I am happy to hold space for you. If you want to laugh then we can do that too, because despite how serious this bio is, I am a very silly person. I believe in creating a space where your body feels heard, held, and honored. My only ask is that you communicate your needs directly.
Outside of the treatment room, I’m inspired by the beach, my dachshund Miles, physical movement, matcha, optimizing sleep, the making & eating of food, & more recently lots of herbal creations.
I can’t wait to meet you and be part of your journey toward greater ease and embodiment.
In every treatment, we focus on
Intention
No two bodies are the same, and neither are our treatments. Each session is an intentional ritual, fully customized to honor your unique needs—whether it’s adjusting pressure, honoring past injuries, fine-tuning temperature, or weaving in any personal preferences. We listen deeply, so your experience feels as healing as it is tailored.
Herbal Support
Every session is grounded in plant wisdom. We use handcrafted, herb-infused oils—made in-house with locally sourced botanicals—to support your body’s healing with the subtle yet powerful medicine of the earth.
Nervous System Regulation
This work invites your body out of fight-or-flight and into deep rest—where true healing can begin. Through intentional touch and breath-aware techniques, we help re-tune the nervous system toward balance, ease, and safety.
