Acupuncture and Reiki
Through the practices of acupuncture, Reiki and therapeutic bodywork, I address symptoms, problems and issues on multiple levels and through a variety of lenses to create real change. This combination of approaches can be effective for nearly any kind of challenge, be it physical, emotional or spiritual. Through my ability to read energy, I also provide you with clues on the emotional and spiritual plane about how to help the energy in your body and life flow with greater ease, providing relief from symptoms, shifting patterns of thought and behavior and offering clarity on where things may be getting stuck or asking for more attention.
The initial session is longer and more in-depth to allow me to get to know more about your history and current state of health. Follow-ups run about an hour, and build on work done in previous sessions. With acupuncture in particular, though it is true of Reiki as well, each session strongly builds off the previous ones, changing patterns of energy flow in the body and providing more lasting results with repetition and regularity of treatments.
Though I generally offer these modalities in combination, I am happy to offer acupuncture or Reiki as solo sessions. Also, please note that if you are needle-phobic or highly sensitive to treatment, I am happy to craft a unique session suited to your needs and tolerance level. There are many ways I can treat other than with needles!
Private sessions are held at the One Heart House in Mancos, 733 Grand Ave.

Pediatric sessions
I work with kids in a very similar way to adults, but the sessions are simpler and shorter. Through energy healing and body scan, I stabilize and support while gleaning information about causes of imbalance or emotional upset. I then share insights and offer suggestions on herbs, diet and lifestyle to further support health, wellness and emotional stability, and sometimes include acupressure seeds to continue the effects of treatment. The experience is generally very relaxing and kids often enjoy the treatment.

About Acupuncture and Chinese medicine
Acupuncture is a beautiful, holistic and well-developed form of traditional medicine practiced the world over. It is rooted in science, art, philosophy and an understanding of the natural world. While most people just think of needles when they hear the word acupuncture, there are actually many different tools in the acupuncturist's toolkit used to address what are seen as imbalances in the flow of energy within the body. Chinese medicine also uses a unique set of diagnostics to understand the cause of symptoms and disease, and addresses both the presenting problems, as well as the underlying reason for them. Because it is a philosophy unto itself, no outside diagnostics are needed and it can work on virtually anything, as any challenges in body or mind are reflected in the energy flow. While it is highly adaptable and versatile, acupuncture has a particular reputation for helping with pain of all types, menstrual issues, digestive problems and infertility.
ABOut Reiki
Reiki is an incredible form of healing that comes simply from the hands, coupled with healing energy from the universe. It is a practice informally used for all of human history, but more recently organized into a recognized system of healing that is surprisingly effective at treating nearly any issue or problem. It can alleviate physical discomforts, calm the emotions, support a taxed system and re-balance the heart, mind, emotions and spirit. It is also deeply relaxing in a way other kinds of bodywork aren't. Receiving Reiki feels very simple and, from the outside may look like nothing is happening at all. You'd be surprised, though, how much you can feel and how much of a shift can happen in even a single session!
Here is what a few people have shared about my work:
"Ashley is a magician. Every session I’ve had with her, either in person or over zoom, has been incredibly healing to my emotional, physical and spiritual body. Her intuition and ability to know exactly where my energy is stuck, and why, is so on point every time. Followed up with Chinese medicine herbs and diet support, every session is very comprehensive and all encompassing. I’ve been working with her for almost a year now and I can confidently say she has healed me and my body in ways I never imagined were possible. I recommend her to everyone I know for any ailment. You can tell that energy healing is exactly what she is meant to be doing in this lifetime, and I am so grateful to receive her gift!"

Ashley is of the earth. There is no better way to describe her. She is super grounded and has this innate wisdom about our bodies, plants, animals, and energy. I had never had energy work done on me, so it was a new experience. It was an online session too, which blows my mind that this powerful work can be done virtually. She had me fill out an intake form, just like you would at any practitioners office then had me lay down while she scanned my body. I kid you not, I felt her energetically move through my body and stop and tend to areas where I was unknowingly holding on to energy/emotions. Then at the end of the session we both shared our experience. She then began to list through some things that I could do to support my healing which ranged from herbs, breathwork, colors, specific crystals that would help, dietary changes, and ways to ground back into my body. It was such a wonderfully immersive experience and I gained so much knowledge from her – just from one session. I highly recommend her work!
