Meet Ashley
Growing up in a family that struggled with pain from severe scoliosis made Ashley keenly aware of how muscle tension and structural issues can be debilitating and life-altering. It led to her becoming curious about how the human body works and fueled a desire to help others heal through holistic wellness and various forms of massage and bodywork.
In 2010, Ashley graduated from the Naturopathic Institute of Therapies and Education with her Natural Health Educator certificate. During the two years Ashley studied at the institute, she recognized her passion for massage therapy and applied the learned techniques on family and friends.
Life’s curve-balls pulled her away from the opportunity of pursuing massage therapy as a career and instead guided her down paths of bodywork, spirituality, and energetic healing. This led to Ashley earning her Reiki Master/Teacher certificate in 2019.
Coming full-circle, Ashley graduated from the Mind Body Institute with her certificate as a Massage and Bodywork Practitioner in January, 2024. Elated to finally live out her life-long dream, Ashley became a licensed Massage Therapist in April, 2024. Under the ownership of Northern Therapeutic Massage, Ashley offers all of her passions to facilitate healing and rejuvenation in her clients.
Beyond the office, Ashley is usually snuggled up with a book and her pets, whipping up something in the kitchen, or working with the bees in her flower gardens. As an adventurous nature girl, you’ll often find her exploring or playing outdoors, basking in the bliss of living in northern Michigan.
