Because women's health is so prominent in my practice, I always need access to a Manual Lymph Drainage therapist. I do not know a better modality for managing and facilitating the healing of edematous and immune issues. I frequently watched Ashley's clients experience relief and healing from edema and tissue damage secondary to breast cancer treatments, uterine cysts, c-sections and other post surgical traumas. Aside from the physical results, I always admired Ashley's ability to Support the emotional and spiritual healing in her clients as well.
Ashley would often dove-tail her Lymph Drainage treatments with Acutonics (using different vibrations of tuning forks to clear and balance the meridians). This meridian therapy in conjunction with Ashley's warm personality allowed people to overcome obstacles to cure (shame, grief and fear in particular). She as the capacity to work with people experiencing intense “dis-ease” (e.g. CFS, fibromyalgia, chemical sensitivity).
In addition to sharing her gifts, Ashley expresses a cooperative spirit that allowed her to tap into the other practitioners in our center. We often discussed protocols, red-flags and co-managed care. Her “team care” approach enhanced integrity and efficacy of our center.

I went to see Ashley for help with chronic TMJ issues. My case is severe because I have lost bone in my jaw, thus my jaw structure is compromised. After working with Ashley I felt immediate and lasting effects in my body. The sessions are deeply relaxing and they help my body find more easeful ways of moving and positioning itself, so that there is less tension in the muscles around my jaw. Ashley is very sensitive and careful, noticing when and how my body is receptive to her touch. She listens to my body's signals of what is most ready to shift. Because of this, I experienced releases in chronic tension that have dominated my way of functioning for over ten years. Not only is Ashley very intuitive and sensitive, but the level of care, generosity and compassion she expresses is nourishing in it's own right. Ashley is a gem!

Ashley really understands the body through movement, alignment, and the interaction between the systems: Central Nervous System, Organs, Muscles, fluids, connective tissue, and bones. Her training as a dancer gives her a proprioceptive and mindful awareness to both facilitate healing but also, to offer clients greater internal vision of their body. As one of her early teachers, I know Ashley is deeply committed to her on-going studies of the body mind practices, I only wish I lived closer to receive her bodywork!

Ashely Natalya is wonderful, loving person with deep insight into mind, body, and sprit. She is a gifted healer with a compassionate heart who uplifts everybody around her. I’m thankful to her for the energy and body work she did for my personal healing. She will be of great benefit to those who have the good fortune to come across her.
--Anam Thubten, Tibetan Spiritual Teacher, Berkeley CA
Ashley is incredibly talented and her intuitive sense of what is necessary in each session is nothing short of magic. I always emerge transformed and recommend her to anyone needing support. She's amazing!

Ashley Natalya is overflowing with creative, healing energy, and she is dedicated to discovering how to channel that energy to help others.

Had surgery in April to correct severe Spinal Stenosis issues – worse symptoms now than before. Pain in parts of my body; some muscle deficits, non-functioning bladder, and colon issues. Started with Ashley in August – her treatments have done a fantastic job of alleviated pain issues – lasting up to 3 days each. Nothing has yet helped regaining the various functions mentioned above – but my doctors tell me the nerves that were traumatized during the surgery take a long time to heal."

Stepping into Ashley’s healing space is like being invited to a banquet hall where she has all manner of healing resources at her finger tips and she intuitively knows exactly what you need, all of you, your body, your heart, your spirit, and your mind. The summer of 2015 I woke up one morning and I could hardly walk. I had so much pain in my left foot I wasn’t able to stand on it. Medical doctors call it plantar
fasciitis. Believe me, it’s so painful I have a different name for it. And it just got worse. I tried everything. Chiropractic. Acupuncture. Reiki. Magnets. Shoe inserts. Reflexology. Massage. Yoga. I was so frustrated and desperate, I even went to the doctor which is a big deal for me. Being unable to walk is just not an option.
Then a friend of mine told me I need to go to see Ashley and I’ll be forever grateful.
Some of you may know the old song, the foot bone’s connected to the leg bone and the leg bone’s connected to the hip bone….how true it is. Ashley and I have been working together for several months now and the results are amazing. The immediate and obvious result is I can walk without pain. But the problem with my foot was just the manifesting symptom of many other issues. Together we have created a long-term treatment plan so she can support me so I can untangle, release, and repair the pain and trauma of 67 years of accidents, injuries,surgeries and just normal wear and tear.
I am no stranger to pain.
It feels wonderful to become intimate again with ease and vitality.

What can I say about the body work? You have a healer's touch and magic in your hands. Had to be tough working on Big John where he is twice the size of a regular person. You helped him cure a neck ache he'd had for years. He's still doing what you advised and the problem is gone.
--Sara Donkersloot, Costa Rica
I began seeing Ashley after several surgeries due to a cancer diagnosis that resulted in Lymphedema and my body was unrecognizable. Ashley is always patient and present and uses her wide variety of skills and intuition to treat and heal me and my body in whatever seems most needed in the moment. I always feel calmer and more centered when I'm there and after I leave due to Ashley's magic hands (and mind) and her ability to empower me to face the obstacles in my life. Visiting Ashley feels like a combination of massage, body healing, herbalist, nutritionist, physical therapy, and counseling. Her Holistic approach allows her to treat every part of my body and mind. I have been able to get to know a new version of myself through her advice, healing, and insight.

Ashley has a rainbow bridge to celestial energy and roots it through her deep love of the earth, its solidity and its deep oceanic mystery. She uses her body, spirit, voice and intuitive heart to heal both individuals and ultimately, the ecosystem of which we are all a part.
The day before the arrival of my first son, Ashley applied some gentle pressure to my feet and I think also some seeds of power, as I began labor later that evening and delivered a big, healthy baby at home. She helped to open the doors.
Her power is in knowing many things and also in knowing there is so much we cannot know.
She is a wonderful force, highly recommended.
--Willow King, Boulder Co
Ashley truly helped me kick a wicked sinus and chest cold. My immune system was so weak but her deep intuition and gentle touch got me back on track. So good to feel powerful again. When Ashley rested me I could feel all my body fluids flowing as fluid as dolphins in the ocean. Thank you ; )

"There two qualities, among many, that separate Ashley's work from the crowd. Ashley brings a deep presence to her work and presence is something that cannot be taught, it must be hard-earned . And, healing cannot happen without this presence. The other is her passionate dedication to always be learning. It is always a joy to be with practitioners who embody joyful curiosity. It is more than simply learning new techniques, rather it is going deeply into an understanding of the body, the distinguishes Ashley's approach."

My first experience receiving a healing treatment with Ashley far exceeded my expectations. Ashley has several potent tools and abilities that served to calm my tightly wound nervous system, allowing me to enter a deep state of relaxation that my mind and body desperately needed in order to heal.But Ashley's biggest gifts are her deep state of presence and compassion that allowed me to trust her immediately. My health has benifited greatly with her assistance and I would recommend her to anyone"

Ashley posed this invitation at the start of our session...."If I were your fairy godmother, what do you wish for our time together?"....This completely wide open, even whimsical, question allowed me to bring voice to two distinct and disparate (or maybe not?!) issues, both of which were skillfully and intuitively addressed in our healing exploration. Ashley is warm and inviting, her heart of service is true and keen, and my time with her continues to keep me curiously questing within..."

"Receiving your treatments has helped me lift the layers of burden that has built up as a result of my work as a therapist, free myself from the trauma of others, and connect on a deeper level with my inner child. If felt connected to you, your gentle and yet very powerful approach helped me achieve inner balance and peace. I feel energized and inspired to fly into my bright future."

"Ashley's sensitive touch and intuitive guidance are unmatched. She pulls from a breadth of training and experience in order to attend to layers of holding patterns as well as emotional, physical and spiritual dis-ease with confidence and deep understanding. I trust Ashley completely to journey alongside me, offering gentle, powerful, and thorough support for me to do the deepest work I can. She pours her presence and love into her work, and my body can tell, naturally opening to her subtle cues. It is both a pleasure and deeply healing to be on Ashley's table."

"Ashley Natalya was so generous with my baby and me during our craniosacral session. Her touch was so gentle and healing and she helped my baby. It was very educational and she made sure that I left with a list of useful resources. I highly recommend her!"

"Ashley Natalya is a gem! She is brilliant in many regards. she clearly has a deep knowledge of the physical body and also is incredibly intuitive and connected to spirit. I have taken my newborn son to her a few times within his first month so far. She has a gift for connecting with babies and assessing their physical body and making gentle adjustments allowing them to inhabit their body post birth. She has provided assessment and recommendations regarding his tongue tie as well."
