Do you find yourself tightly wound up by the day's stresses? 
Are you wanting more space in your life? 
Do you have a hard time moving out of your head and letting your mental processes go?
Do you feel you are not accessing your true vitality and potency?
Do you have physical symptoms or issues that are not resolving?
Do you want to transform something within your body, speech, mind, relationships to self, other, or the Universe?

I am a  Transformational Body Facilitator. I listen to your spiritual architecture, physical system, and your energetic matrix offering you a space to deeply BE. Once we hear what it is your Body's truth and aspiration I create a healing protocol which is completely Unique to you. Your life story, experiences, environment, thoughts, genetics, life style....all coalesce creating a completely personal microcosm called your Body. I listen to your unique spirit-matter-energy Body and from this our work is created. I invite you to let go and let your “Body” speak, unwind, be supported, and receive. 

What do the most miraculous and challenging life processes all share?  

Transformation: to be transformed inside as a seed grows and changes you slowly every day, softening and pushing your edges, extending your senses into the environment, pressing your awareness in all directions out of your control.  Letting go and diving into the unknown is required.  The intimate inner self-dialogue and visioning practice that requires you to face your fears, clarify your intent, and meet all the shades of your shadow and luminosity.   Trusting and leaning into a natural rhythm that is older than your individual self  but resides in the collective transpersonal experience is a great gift we can share in.  Any pregnancy of child (what ever the outcome), creative venture, time-pressed maturation, or relationship is going to take you through a consumation, gestation, birth and embodiment process. 

This is what I shout from a mountain top:

1. This earth is alive: every being born and every living thing is a co-creative part of a living system.

2. Humans true nature is far more expansive, aware, sensitive, and luminous than our separate self defined by habit, technology, and society. We are social creatures that need touch, face to face seeing, shared experience, vulnerable witness, hand holding, and a collective marking of birth, joys, transitions, death, re-birth, old age....we are meant to celebrate and open the doors of perception together.  

3. The practice of resting the mind, feeling into bodily sensations, having a compassionate and skillful inner ear to ones emotions, inner dialogue, breath, and present moment awareness is our evolutionary map.

4. Connecting with our immediate natural world; plants, animals, minerals, vegetables, climatic, and seasonal in a physical and open hearted way creates a greater reservoir of generosity and right action. Connecting with the natural world opens our sensory gateway channels and allows us to drop and source from our heart.

5. Nothing happens in isolation, we are integrated part of many realities and our ability to exchange self for other is a great tool for remaining connected. 

6. When we drop beyond the cognitive and into the visceral level of our pain body and begin to name and speak the stories of despair, grief, abandonment, and fear we can own our attachments and aversion to our stories, but further experience the the collective liberation from story into being in the current moment.

The title of Tantrika can be compared to an alchemist. An alchemist is one who activates the reorganization and spiritual upgrading of organic life.  I resonate with the archetype of the alchemist- transmitter and  transformer.  To be a great transmitter your feet must be well anchored and your antennae be open to the sky. It is that heavenly and earthly interplay where I love to meet others and reside within myself. I experience the world to be an alive and very intelligent mirror. The ingredients to any alchemy arise in the present moment, then can be infused with skillful means and awareness, and the natural ripening happens. I play with the delicate balance of listening/receiving and action/giving. I believe to begin the process of transformation we must empty our center so that something much greater than individual consciousness can come to life. I listen, feel, sense with my hands, heart, and inner intuitive stethoscope for what is your way. What is your manifestation of life force? Being in stillness is fundamental to balance. Learning how to open the vertical conduit that leads a person directly to the absolute- to the realms of the Transcendent is what I love to activate. I know the invisible and inner world of our psyche directly influences our physical body, relations, and the world around us. I believe we live in a vibration based world in which harmony and dissonance can be received and given.  I believe generating and energetically matching deep joy, bliss, and clarity is available in Nature, relationship, in our body, and spiritual connection to all beings.  I also believe we are part a celestial matrix where each planetary body in our Solar System offers a tonal frequency which can be used on the body as another base of support and  system of evolution.

 Are you finding you are holding your breath or have a feeling of anxiety because of our tumultuous times?

Are you so busy that you don't have time to slow down and just simply enjoy the moment?

Have you not felt at ease in your body since you have experienced a loss, trauma, illness or been in an accident?

Do you want to enliven your energy and clarify your mind while being in a safe and nourishing community?

As above so below.  The truth of our existence on this planet, in a solar system, in a galaxy, within a universe that has cosmological order is quite profound.  To connect with our stellar orientation offers us another expanded view to life, the "big picture". Because the vibrations of the tuning forks are attuned to the frequencies within our solar system we are given access to the music of the spheres. The vibrations of the tuning forks offer an experience of spaciousness that can allow the Spirit or formlessness to enter our body.  This gateway is seen by many spiritual traditions as a means of deep personal transformation and spiritual awakening. Sound healing gives you access to a space between,  where you can create new ways of being or dissolve old patterns, which can greatly assist on the spiritual path.

Stress is one of the most significant causative factors to the disease process. Our fast paced life styles create action oriented, over stimulated nervous systems that can become stuck in a fight or flight pattern. Sound healing helps strengthen the nervous systems ability to modulate between response and receive modes. The nervous systems intelligence is it's ability to maintain it's flexibility to stimulus and be able to yield and rest.  Listening to the tuning and placing them on the meridian channels allows for this deep regulation and harmony.

Recently a spiritual teacher called me a Tantrika.  I felt as if I had been given a crown of cosmic flowers. In the next breath I realized I had little idea of what a Tantrika is. Tantrika's are one's who regard the changing, visible world as the creative dance of the Divine Mother, and regard enlightenment as the realization of the essential oneness of one's self and the visible world. Wow. Ok. This is something I can live into. 

If I am a Tantrika, I am an apprentice to Nature, continually returning again and again for purification, clarity, and innocence.  I work with the earth, leaning into the support and intelligence of; plant, mineral, root, flower, water, fire, and elementals.  I know all life is interconnected, and the young human species has lost the ability to listen and hear how Nature speaks.  

If I am a Tantrika, I am a sensitive.  I am using sensitive as a noun: a person who feels and experiences many levels of existence in a single moment.  I have had a difficult time being human as a sensitive, and have spent much of my adult life learning tools to manage stimulus, transform negativity, clarify the static, and purify toxicity: mental, emotional, and physical.  I have had a lot of assistance to achieve balance, and I am an avid and diligent student of the Holistic Healing Medicine and Body-Centered psychology.  We are not meant to do this alone. Yet the process of inner transformation is an inside and individual unique journey.

I am a dancer. I feel and play with energy around and inside my body. I know how to evoke and activate energy in the body. I know how to move energy and play with the vitality of being alive.  I know how to open our chakras or body centers through movement, touch, visualization, breath, and intent.  I love seeing people moving in freedom, grace, and power.  I also know movement processes to unwind trauma and create a more integrated nervous system.  I know that movement heals and transforms. My hands, heart, and head are attuned to follow the flow of movement and meet blockages in the layers of the body.

I look forward to knowing you and seeing who you are.


I really enjoyed taking Samba class with Ashley. She made it easy for everyone to learn and feel comfortable. I also had so much fun! I remember feeling empowered after each class, like I was tapping into my inner goddess while dancing. I also loved performing the dance routine at a local outdoor event. Our group of ladies brought such a powerful presence to the event. I loved the overall experience of the class. It helped me feel strong and confident as a woman.

                                                                                      --Rose Hips, Paonia CO

I have known Ashley for many years. She is an incredibly skilled facilitator and healer. Ashley holds every container she creates with so much magic, depth, and love. She is an amazing conduit of transformation and connectivity!
When I had my wedding ceremony Ashley facilitated a movement based ritual for all the women who came to the wedding.  We all found release, a sense of community, and pleasure that enriched the days to come for our celebration.
Ashley also facilitated a blessing way for the birth of my first child.  I remember each person was able to show up and share themselves in a very intimate way. This only happened because Ashley used her magic to create such a special, touching experience that fed me greatly.
Ashley is a priestess naturally. And I cannot recommend her and her work high enough. The spaces, containers, and rituals she creates nourish everyone that enters them. She is a blessing to my life and this planet!
                                                                               
                                                                                    --Sarah Enthrup, Petaluma CA

I had never been to a Blessing Way, but knew that I wanted something other than a baby shower for this special transformative time. 

There are not that many times in our lives that we as women have a chance to come together open and honest in celebration of womanhood, motherhood, sisterhood, and I craved this intention of support and love that I know we as women can hold for each other. 

Ashley lead us in an open and intentional ceremony, that was catered to my wishes— to feel love and support from my friends and family, and to hold space for joy during this important phase of becoming a mother. Although many of my friends had never met, Ashley created an environment where we felt connected as women, and could openly share our feelings with each other. The intention was strong and the healing tangible. There was a sense of ease and fluidity that I know everyone felt. I felt nurtured and completely satisfied, ready to take on this next phase of my life. Ashley's ability to create a space that was safe and open to share is a true gift. A true blessing way.

                                                                                               --Veronica, Portland OR

Being a student in Ashley Natalya's Brazilian/Latin Dance class was thrilling! Natalya does a fantastic job of making class fun, and injecting it with her passion for dance. She is a bright, creative, and patient teacher, who choreographs dynamic dances that fuse multiple Latin dance styles and rhythms. Her class always left me feeling energized and joyful. I miss having the opportunity to learn and dance with her, and look forward to any chance to do so in the future.

Returning Art & Spirit to Medicine:  What is Sound Healing?
​Every cell in our body is a sound resonator. 

Each cell has a listening device and it responds to vibrational frequencies.  I use tuning forks from the Acutonics Healing System which represent a natural harmonic series based on the planets.  The tuning forks are applied to specific acupuncture, acupressure points, and chakras and affect the harmony of the cells, organs, tissues, and energy flow of the body.  

Sound Healing works directly with emotions and can liberate blockages, repetitive patterns, reactivity, rigidity, sensitivity, stress, traumas, and stagnation.

Sound Healing can open the doors of perception connecting you with your spiritual essence.

Sound Healing reduces stress and is like instant meditation.

Sound Healing has been used effectively for:

• Muscular skeletal issues
• Back, neck, shoulder, and knee pain, arthritis, fibromyalgia, tendonitis, bursitis, sprains, and strains.
• Neurological issues
• Migraine headache, sciatica, peripheral neuropathy, stroke residuals
• Emotional and Psychological issues
• Stress, depression, anxiety, anorexia, insomnia
• Respiratory ailments
• Allergies, sinusitis, asthma, environmental illness, bronchitis, colds, flu
• Gynecological issues
• Irregular or painful menstruation, PMS, infertility in women and men, menopause, fibroids
• Psychospiritual issues
• Spiritual awakening and growth, heightening energy and awareness, life transitions
• Urogenital issues
• Incontinence, urinary tract infections, sexual dysfunction, and prostatitis
• Gastrointestinal issues
• Food allergies, heartburn, peptic ulcer, constipation, chronic diarrhea, indigestion, gastritis, and irritable bowel syndrome.
• Fatigue, hypertension, chemical addictions, support for chronic and debilitating conditions 

Sound Healing: 
Every cell in our body is a sound resonator.  Through the application of tuning forks, calibrated to the harmonics of the Earth, Moon, Sun and other planets, to specific acupuncture, acupressure and trigger points, we are able to access the meridian and chakra energy systems of the body on a deep cellular level.

Facial Soundscapes:
A beautiful face is clear, allowing the spirit to shine through.
Using Tuning forks to stimulate or relax the face, purifying
masks, and serums, you leave with a radiant & lifted face.
This is a non-invasive Face Lift.
Manual Lymphatic Massage: 
Lymphatic Therapy is a very gentle hands-on technique designed to activate fluid circulation and stimulate the functioning of the immune system and parasympathetic nervous system. Lymphatic Massage activates the tiny “inner hearts” or muscular units that pump and propel the lymph through the 186,000 miles of vessels that run on the superficial layer under the skin and the deep internal nodes. Great for: detoxification;  speed up recovery and healing after surgery, radiation therapy, or an injury; Heal chronic inflammation, edema, sinusitis, tendonitis, or fibromyalgia; improve a venous condition, and increase and maintain a healthy immune system.
Cranial Sacral Balancing: 
Cranial Sacral Therapy releases the deeply held tension patterns in our bodies which are created from daily and long-term stress. Using light touch and energetic techniques to encourage the unwinding of restrictions from head to toe, your body’s natural equilibrium and energetic flow are harmonized and revived,returning you to a state of wellness and balance.  ​
Therapeutic Massage:  
Integrating traditional Ayurveda Thai Massage, Myofascial release, and Deep-tissue I listen to the layers of the fascia, muscle, fluids, and bones to work with the body as systemic whole. Identifying holding patterns, blockages, and where vitality and good tone exist we unwind and restore the Freedom in the body.
​ ​Energetic Clearing: 
Using Sound Healing, Cranial Sacral work and chakra rebalancing we clear your field, set the vibration at a higher frequency, and let you rest into your fundamental innocence and vitality.
The Deep Diver Combo: 
Integrating Cranial Sacral Balancing, Sound Healing, and Therapeutic Massage all into one total energetic and physical reboot we completely unwind and revitalize you.

I am here to offer you a clear and skillful container for transformation.  I have spent the last twenty-five years in study, meditation, practice, and refinement of my tools as a body worker.  I have anchored my touch and sensate channels through personal psychological inquiry and therapy.  I believe I can meet you only when I have personally journeyed to the depth of my own edges.  Thus, I hold a very resourced continuum of treatment protocals, that span the spectrum of massage to clairvoyance to shamanism to transpersonal psychotherapy .  I do not consider myself a "massage therapist" as my work extends into the territory of  both energetic and psychological healing.
​I approach the body as a completely intelligent, conscious, and energetically attuned system.
Your body knows exactly what it needs to heal.  
Your body never lies. It is only a matter if we are listening.

Thus, I open all my channels and listen to what is present. I meet you as empty as I can be, to allow the unfolding of your body's healing process.

Beginning with presence I then apply a comprehensive system of effective techniques of which I have spent over 25 years of study, practice, and application to treat your soft-tissue dysfunctions, pain, injuries, and energetic imbalances.

I am an orthopedic massage therapist. I personalize a treatment plan from my modalities to create a pathway to healing, rehabilitation, and transformation.

I look forward to the opportunity in being a part of your healing process.

Using Applied Kinesiology and direct palpation techniques we find out where to start on your body. Often in the first session we have to establish our energetic boundaries and do some initial energy work, so it is just you and I in the room. Then we can dive into addressing your chronic tension patterns and acute needs. I often give you individualized nutritional supplemental advice, exercises for stabilization, stretches,  or insight meditations.  Please allow 2 hours for our initial session both for intake and transition to happen with ease. 

​This session can address multiple areas of chronic pain, like lower back and neck.  We can also do other deep energetic work like: vitalize your energy centers; clear energetic hitch-hikers; or do family of origin work. This session often includes special techniques like moxibustion, essential oils, hot oil foot rubs, and longer sound baths.  This allows for a holistic approach to body, spirit, and mind.

​This session is recommended if you have one area of pain or want to work on a specific acute symptom: sinus infection, post-surgical, injury recovery, or emotional trauma. ​This is also a good amount of time if we have been working together regularly and have developed a strong therapeutic relationship.

This hour treatment is to support Tweens and Teens through their big shifts. Changes in your body, plus the stress of school, identity, social expectations, and life choices can leave one deeply unraveled and imbalanced. Using tuning forks, essential oils, cranial sacral therapy, and simple affirmations I can help root confidence, calm the heart, relax the mind, and attach the wings so you can really fly and land into your life with self-respect, joy, and ease. 

​Helping children ages 2-10 years old to ground into their bodies, feel safe, and enhance their ability to go through their developmental changes is what this 40 minute treatment is for.  I use the tuning forks, cranial sacral balancing, and essential oils to create a very gentle and calming treatment. Kids love it! 

​Come shed the winter layers and enliven your body to step into summer fully. Doing a cleanse will strengthen, lengthen, and lighten your life-preventing physical degeneration by eliminating toxic buildup in tissues and organs, allowing rest to the systems, and facilitating proper physiology.  It can also open your spiritual centers and allow for a deep space of inner clarity.  

Doing a cleanse is never fun alone so let's support each other and watch the most basic dietary changes work wonders. My husband and I have done this cleanse several times and are always amazed how good we feel afterword.  I recommend getting your partner or housemates involved as having a witness and a companion really helps. 

This is a 21 day cleanse that has a very gentle and slow elimination of food, alcohol, caffeine, nicotine, processed foods, grains, meat, nuts, beans, and dairy so your body and psyche can adjust to the heart of the cleanse where we will be drinking only vegetable broth, veggie juice, and culminate with water. Then we slowly layer back on all the things we normally eat. 

Throughout the cleanse cycle I will be sharing helpful hints to deal with cravings, good shopping hints, recipe's, great jokes, good music tracks, my favorite cleansing mind practices, and available for support or questions.  However, the greatest support is knowing you have a crew of people who are all in the same boat together. We will cross the waters and get to the other side.

​
Structure and Dates that align us:
​
May 15th -  We will have a lovely afternoon potluck from 4-6pm where we talk about the cleanse in detail, receive recipe's, learn about each other, and get hooked up to our group chat site.

May 16th-  The cleanse will start this day slowly eliminating foods and other substances each day working up to our rest and water week-end.

May 28th & 29th-  These two days we will be only drinking water or doing the Master cleanse depending on each persons individual need.  Both mornings at 10:00am - 11:00am I will offer a web-tele guided meditative journey.

May 30- June 5th-  Then we take another week to slowly re-introduce foods.  

June 5th-  Congratulations you did it! We will have our final gathering from 3pm-4:30 pm sharing our what we have learned about our food habits, digestion, and energetic vitality. Of course we will bask in each others glow.

During the time of the cleanse if you signed up for a healing session we will do what is most needed to support your cleanse: energetic attunement, Lymphatic Massage, Myofacial Release, or Cranial Sacral therapy.  

Cost: 50$ for Spring Cleanse.  100$ For cleanse and a one hour healing Session
