Is your facility ADA compliant?

 

While my San Diego facility is in an older building and not fully ADA compliant, I am always willing to work with clients to accommodate their needs. Please contact me directly to discuss how I can make your visit as accessible as possible, or I can refer you to a practitioner who can provide the services you need.

​

What can I expect during my first holistic healing treatment?
 

Once you book your session, you’ll receive a confirmation email with important details, including a door code for access. When you arrive, we’ll have a brief conversation about your wellness goals, health history, and what you’re hoping to get from the session. Whether you're here for massage therapy or Reiki energy healing, you can expect a personalized treatment designed specifically for you. Remember, this is your time—feel free to ask questions or share any concerns. After the session, we’ll review what came up and I’ll provide suggestions for ongoing healing. Look out for a follow-up email within a week with additional insights to help guide your journey.

​

What’s the difference between Reiki and massage, and can they be combined?

 

Massage therapy and Reiki energy healing are different but complementary practices. Massage is focused on physical relief, targeting muscle tension and promoting relaxation, while Reiki is a spiritual healing practice aimed at balancing your energy field. You can choose to combine them for a holistic healing experience that works on both physical and energetic levels. Typically, I perform Reiki before and after the massage session, but you can opt for just one or the other. Reiki is performed fully clothed, while massage requires you to undress to your comfort level and be draped modestly.

​

What should I wear for my session?

 

For massage, undress to your comfort level, and you’ll be modestly draped throughout the session. For Reiki, you’ll remain fully clothed, but we’ll still cover you with sheets if it helps you feel more comfortable. Whether you're receiving a massage or Reiki, your comfort is a top priority, and we can adjust as needed.

 

How does distant Reiki work?

 

Distant Reiki healing works the same as in-person Reiki, but it's done remotely. Reiki energy transcends time and space, meaning you can receive the benefits wherever you are—whether in San Diego or halfway around the world. During the session, I connect to your energy field and help clear any blockages, allowing you to experience the same peace and healing that you would in an in-person session. Distant Reiki healing is perfect for those who prefer to receive spiritual healing services from the comfort of their home.

Note from Ashley

 

As your holistic health practitioner in San Diego, my goal is to empower you to take charge of your wellness. You are your own healer, and I am here to support and guide you through this journey. I maintain strict energetic boundaries and ensure the space is always clear and safe for all clients. If I ever feel those boundaries are being disrespected, I will address it once, and if it continues, treatments will be discontinued. This ensures a respectful and healing environment for all.
