Owner: My name is Ashley Tinker and I have been a Massage Therapist for 10 years. I have a passion for helping people to understand that massage isn’t just a luxury, but a health benefit, a necessity that will bring longevity to their lives. My focus in every session is to bring relief to those who are in pain, relaxation to those who are stressed and assist them in enhancing or restoring their health and vitality, so they can live their life to the fullness of their potential and abilities.

 

Why I am passionate about massage: I am passionate about massage because I saw, first hand, the benefits it had on my own life after a tragic car accident when I was younger. And as I grew and became open to learning more, I became educated on the hundreds of benefits it has over the human body and it excites me to know that I am making a difference in someone’s life. Either by manipulating the muscles and tissues and relieving overall stress and tension, or physically helping them to overcome challenges they may have once had, by teaching them stretches, they now have that range of motion they thought they never would get back. This to me is very fulfilling and rewarding. Plus I am a relationship builder, so I always build a relationship with my clients which makes the session even more powerful and authentic.

 

About my massage: My massages are a little different than your average. I do not just “go through the motions” per say. I like to hear specifics on what has been bothering the client and then I like to spend extra time on those areas. I use my hands more than I do my eyes, and this may sound strange, but I usually have my eyes closed. When my eyes are closed, I can feel more and focus on what my fingers/hands are telling me verses what my mind says comes next in a typical massage. I can feel hot areas or cool areas, I can feel muscle fibers that are tangled and I can also feel tightness in the tissues…this allows me to give the focus the clients body is craving.

     I specialize in Swedish massage, prenatal massage, deep tissue massage, reflexology, aromatherapy, cranial-sacral massage, hot-stone massage, range of motion/stretching, and trigger point therapy.

     The most benefits of massage therapy is decreased anxiety, stress relief, enhanced relation, increased flexibility/range of motion, enhanced quality of sleep, deeper, easier breathing, pain relief, improved concentration, reduced fatigue, increased circulation, strengthened immune system, improved rehabilitation after injury or surgery, and lower blood pressure, just to name a few.
