About Essentially You

Ashley was born and raised in Thunder Bay, Ontario and has a true love for the outdoors, traveling, yoga and sports.

Her call to help others began early on. She began her path as a Practical Nurse in 2011 and Registered Nurse with Honours in 2014.

Seeing the need for more hands on empathetic care, she was drawn to learn more about natural healing so she enrolled and completed AromaTouch therapy through doTERRA. The techniques clinical approach to applying essential oils along with energy meridians and visceral contact points of the back and feet helps stimulate and balance sympathetic and para-sympathetic nervous systems in the body.

This opened her eyes to energetic work and she found Reiki, where she than received her Masters in. Reiki is a form of alternative energy therapy than emerged from Japan in the late 1800’s. It involves the transfer of universal energy to promote healing. Reiki is done through touch where the practitioner places their palms onto their client, creating a warm and soothing energy, promoting relaxation and releasing tension. Reiki can also be done at a distance. The practitioner works with the client to clear and balance the bodies energy, promote calmness, lightening, release stress, and anxiety.

Energy healing has been used for centuries in various forms. Advocates, like myself, say it works with the energy fields around the body to bring harmony and balance to both the Practitioner and client, along with helping to restore vital energy to the body.

Ashley has a passion for continual learning and most recently finished her Acupressure Masterclass of All Body Systems. Acupressure is an ancient healing art developed in Asia over 5,000 years ago. It uses the fingers or healing devices to gradually press key healing points along the surface of the body. Acupressure is effective in relieving stress, tension, increases circulation, reduces pain, balances the bodies energy, and helps maintain good health.

Ashley’s approach is to reduce tension, stress, promote relaxation, balance energy, and improve your overall health. She creates a space of calm and healing which allows her to use an intuitive and holistic approach to her treatments.

Ashley is available for Aromatouch Therapy, Acupressure, Reiki, Relaxation Massage, Deep Tissue Massage, or a combination of treatments.
